For our final known film of #SIFF2019, we take another roll of the dice on absurdism with _Greener Grass_
Diving into the origin of _Alien_ at #SIFF2019 with _MEMORY: the Origins of Alien_. Thinking of this as _Jodorowsky's Dune: the Next Day_
Here we come to the last midnighter of #SIFF2019 — _Here Comes Hell_
Katharine Gun's story as a whistleblower is remarkable. She was in a position to recognize the lack of justification for the Iraq War, and collusion between the US and Britain to find dirt on UN Security Council nations.
When she was eventually brought to trial she pled "not guilty" and the prosecution...gave up. They knew the only way to win the case was to argue the war was legal, and they weren't willing to open that can of worms.
Moving into the final five of our #SIFF2019 schedule with _International Falls_
Embraced the revolution at #SIFF2019 with _Soy Cuba_, a 1964 almost forgotten Soviet/Cuban co-production that amazed with stunning cinematography and "how'd they do that" tracking shots, left me sad that "and justice for all" never survives the actual revolution, and angry at our (USA) history of relentlessly propping up murderous despots for short term gain
Usually, I'm talking about the Secret Festival when I say that I'm sitting in a theater at #SIFF2019 and I have no idea what's going to happen… but it applies double in this situation 😰
Making our only visit this year to #SIFF2019's Kirkland outpost for a tale of awkward sisterhood
