Hopefully will have time to write proper thoughts tomorrow, but the films for today were:
3 PM: Reporter
5 PM: Changing the Conversation
7:15 PM: All Tomorrow's Parties
9:30 PM: Revanche
The first one was probably my favorite of the day, just a really well-made documentary. I feel my opinions of Changing may have been tarnished by watching an excellent film beforehand.
Oh, and the first one had to overcome the rocky talkback at the start. There was a short film, "It's in the P-I," by two Seattle filmmakers and a quick Q&A before the feature. This wackjob lady walked in late and did not follow the cardinal rule of "if you don't have any clue what is going on, keep your mouth shut." The filmmakers were answering a question about the 5-day film competition they'd made the piece for, when this woman asks "SO DID YOU GUYS MAKE A MOVIE?"
Filmmaker: "Uh, yeah, the movie that just showed..."
Woman: "OH, SORRY I WALKED IN LATE."
Then later, after a couple more relevant questions, crazy lady again: "SO ARE YOU GUYS MILWAUKEE GUYS?"
Filmmaker: "Uh, no, um, we're from Seattle...."
Really? What is wrong with people? And why do nuttos like this have to give a bad impression of the Milwaukee community?
