The Film Society just wanted to send out a quick shout-out and cheers to a few Filmmaker360 films that are making their rounds at exciting festivals and Bay Area screenings!
A second time around can be just as good as the first! This Saturday, the JCCSF will be presenting Dean & Britta’s 13 Most Beautiful…Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests. From the archive, we remember when Dean & Britta were in San Francisco for a similar SFFS screening at the Palace of Fine Arts in 2009. Click the image below to watch a video podcast of our event and interview with band member Dean Wareham.
Five years of sparkling youth, karoke raps, and remarkable flashpants wisdom - damn how we will miss our Jaybird (aka Jay Wertzler)! Flying away from the SFFS nest, but first making a detour to pick up Pootie Tang at the airport for next week’s SF Sketchfest. We appreciate all of you and know that your mark on us is for life. Big up and warm those vocals for the next SFIFF talent show - sa da tay!
Our new ED Ted Hope talks about why he came to SFFS. Video by Racqoon Hayop.
We’ve got a new ED! Welcome, Ted Hope! You may remember him from such producing gigs as Dark Horse, 21 Grams, In the Bedroom, and many more. Check out his blog, Hope for Film.

I’ve always known that if I were on death row, I would ask for fried chicken as my last meal. …or surf and turf, but I have a feeling a prison would do better with fried chicken.—To better know a staff member: Sarah Cathers, Director of Operations talks last meals with Urban Paddle.
