The Commentary:
Big, BIG thanks to everyone who came out for BIFF2 over the weekend. We watched some great Indy films, with many directors, producers, actors and crafts people in attendance all sharing their stories and artistic points of view. Nice work Charlie, can’t wait for number three next year. Please notice that we have added an additional matinee on Monday for Veteran’s day at 1400 hrs.
CONCLAVE will win Best Picture. Ralph Best Actor and Edward Berger Best Director. If you haven’t seen it yet, you have FOUR more days to do so. I am quite sure you have heard nothing but rave reviews for this one and I am here to tell you that they all ring true.
BLINK. As in the blink of an eye. Story line: A couple find out that three of their their children have an inoperable degenerative eye disorder, and the clock is ticking rapidly towards their eventual blindness. Undaunted, they decided to see the world’s most beautiful spots while they can. Heartwarmingly spectacular scenery and family bonding as only National Geographic can capture. Bring the family.
BOGEY: LIFE COMES IN FLASHES. This is the first official feature documentary to explore the remarkable life and career of Hollywood legend Humphrey Bogart. Featuring never seen before footage and centering around the (many) women in his storied life. For the true cinephile, I have already said enough. See you here.
EXHIBITING FORGIVENESS. Should you be unaware, one of our most cherished line items in the HLT Mission Statement reads: “To support and encourage local artists in Film, Music and the Arts.” This one takes that to another level altogether. Local legend Jherek Biscoff is the genius behind the score for this beguiling drama. Utilizing his paintings to find freedom from his past, a Black artist on the path to success is derailed by an unexpected visit from his estranged father, a recovering addict desperate to reconcile. Together, they struggle and learn that forgetting might be a greater challenge than forgiving. This special presentation is the Fall fund raiser for BIMA, where Jherek’s brother Korum is Deputy Director. Both will be on hand Nov 17 to discuss the making of the film and the back story that started on Bainbridge Island several decades ago. Tickets are available here.
COMING SOON: Thanksgiving Cuban Culture Celebration: Thursday Nov 28, Thanksgiving well serve up the Cuban version of paella for your viewing accompaniment. Friday, Nov 29 we’ll screen THE BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB, at 4:30 & 6:30 and as all that wasn’t enough, on Saturday night THE MALO CASTRO QUINTET will preform their tribute to the BVSC. Several ticket options are available: A pass for all three days, just the movie or just the concert, of both movie & music. Like any good rice dish; Get ‘em while they’re hot.
NEW YEAR’S EVE CELEBRATION. Early announcement, we’re pulling all the stops with THREE acts starting at 7 and ending at midnight on 12.31.24. More info and early tickets sales info coming in next week’s podcast.
All for today folks. Hang in there and keep the faith. I can
