At last year's SILVERDOCS, I saw a real beauty of a film called Let's Be Together. This small family story out of Denmark and Brazil, directed by the über-talented, Nanna Frank Møller, really impressed me with its sensitivity and grace. You can read my impressions about it here. (BTW, submissions are now open for this year's SILVERDOCS fest--see website for details.)
I will be bringing this film, and a lovely short film from Finland / Russia called Between Dreams directed by award-winning filmmaker, Iris Olsson, with gorgeous cinematography by Natasha Pavlovskaya ( a nominee for best short for the European Film Awards 2009) to the Brooklyn Independent Cinema Series this Monday, the 1st. The screening starts at 7:00 p.m. and is free--but get there early since it's a very intimate space at the back of the Barbès bar in Park Slope (376 9th Street at 6th Avenue).
I am writing from the presidential suite at the Regency Hotel in downtown Columbia, MO where I'm attending the 7th True/False Fest, feeling damned lucky to have been on one of the last flights out of blizzardy New York City yesterday morning--whew! It's lovely here, no snow and plenty of sunshine and lots and lots of fabulous nonfiction fare on offer. After marching in the March March this afternoon with the Mucca-Pazza band, I will be totally and utterly reverting to the five-year-old inside me.
Also, in another bid for shameless self-promotion, don't miss my coverage from the 60th Berlinale, now residing on the Hammer to Nail site. Four parts, here and here and here and here.
Hope to see you in the BK Monday evening.
