Is it that time of year again? Time for the 11th Annual San Francisco Independent Film Festival from Feb 5 - 22.The buzz is the opening night film Somers Town by Shane Meadows may be an Oscar contender. It was hailed as the best British film of the year and received the top award at the 2008 Edinburgh Film Festival and won the Best Actor award at the Tribeca Film Festival. It follows two teenage boys on little adventures around town and is a story of the social environment in London. It started out as a short film that eventually grew into a full length feature and was shot in just 17 days.
Another topical film is Abraham Obama in which a street artist creates an image that merges Lincoln's and Obama's faces and in a grassroots campaign, slaps up posters across America to get Obama elected. I guess it worked.
