ANNOUNCEMENT: 2 Citizen Cinema Films Accepted into the 2006 Mill Valley Film Festival, "PAN" and "OPENING"

We are pleased to announce that 9 at Night film #8 will have its World Premiere at the 29th annual Mill Valley Film Fest. "PAN" tells the story of a fatherless 9 year old boy's friendship with a charismatic homeless man and his street family. Also showing at the fest will be the West Coast Premiere of "Opening", the latest offering in the Direct Action World Cinema Workshop series. This workshop feature, conceived and shot in three days, was produced by the Kansas City Filmmaker's Jubilee and Citizen Cinema. The usual drama of critics, dealers, anxious artists, and venal business types at a gallery opening is heightened when a tornado warning forces the warring cabal to take cover in a dark basement. Stay tuned for more information and photos as well as a new podcast with interviews from the key players involved.

Both films will play at the Rafael Film Center, OPENING on Friday, Oct. 6 at 9:15 PM and PAN on Sunday, Oct. 8 at 8:00 PM.

Heat and Sunlight at the Rafael

Wanted to let folks know about the one time only screening of HEAT AND SUNLIGHT at the Rafael Film Ctr., on 4th. St., San Rafael 7:00 PM Wednesday, Aug. 2. That's right. Two days from now. Been so busy getting PAN ready to show to the Mill Valley Fest, and editing PRESQUE ISLE, I didn't have time to let you know. Also I was shooting PRESQUE ISLE in the Santa Cruz Mountains when the Rafael called about the date so it never got into their montly catalogue. But it will be on the screen regardless at the appointed time.

HEAT AND SUNLIGHT won the Grand Prize at Sundance and is rarely shown these days, so step up. It's a good example of early Direct Action and also an early tape to 35 mm. transfer. We'll be showing a release print from that time, so it should be interesting. Hope you can make it. I'll be there, as well as Steve Burns, producer.
