But SF'ers should take note.
From the San Francisco Film Society newsletter:
SF INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION FESTIVAL:
NOVEMBER 8-11
The best animation from around the world
The 2nd annual San Francisco International Animation Festival begins this Thursday at Landmark's Embarcadero Center Cinema with Leslie Iwerks' documentary The Pixar Story, and Iwerks along with several Pixar animators will be in attendance. Remember that tickets to The Pixar Story also include our Opening Night reception at Gallery One (just below the Cinema). The rest of the program ranges from Play it by Eye, a series of music videos; to Best of Annecy 2007, a collection of the best shorts from the best animation festival in Europe; to Film Noir, a dark and sexy narrative feature (co-director D. Jud Jones is expected to be in attendance). Pictured is Claude Coutier's Maker's Dozen short Sleeping Betty, and we expect the filmmaker to be in attendance.
FILM NOIRA United States premiere
It's universally understood that you're in a pinch if you wake up beneath the Hollywood sign next to a dead cop. Things are a bit more dicey if you also have amnesia. As you piece together your identity and find out that you're a sadistic bastard wanted by good and bad guys alike, you know you're in for some serious trouble. This is our hero's predicament, and the question of just how he will find himself forms the premise of Film Noir, which will make its United States premiere at the Animation Festival on November 9 at 9 pm (it plays again on November 10 at 6:30 pm). Co-director D. Jud Jones will be in attendance at both screenings. Much of the film was worked on here in the Bay Area, including sound recording at Keller Studios in Sausalito (Mark Keller is the lead voice), and many of the local actors and musicians will be in attendance also. (For mature audiences).
