Meaning, the others I saw. There were over a hundred films at the Fest, unfortunately these I’ve posted about were just a small sampling.

Sal

Below is some video I took at the Q&A following the Sal screening I went to, where James Franco (the director of Sal) talks about his intentions with the movie and also discusses his collaboration with Val Lauren, the star of the movie and who’s in just about every frame:

(Could not find a trailer for this movie – if you have one let me know and I’ll happily post.) This is an “art” film – we follow Sal Mineo’s life on his last day, what the filmmakers think and imagine that would have been like. It’s very intimate in that so much of it is shot in closeup – we do get very involved with Sal’s character because of this (not to mention the benefits for a low budget film). I was mainly interested in how his sexual orientation would be portrayed – and it’s there, and obvious to anyone looking for it, but also very subtle as people were (for the most part) in the 1970s. Also of interest is the portrayal of someone going about their day as one of the has-beens of Hollywood. In Franco’s view, Sal adjusted well and was planning on a comeback. Not surprising, the most engaging scene, in my opinion, was where he was in rehearsal for a play with other actors – it was the interactions that kept the movie going (which is the exact opposite of what the Hollywood Reporter reviewer thought). When it’s just Sal by himself, it’s a little hard to stay interested. Good thing Val Lauren is so easy on the eyes and such a good actor.

Also, the film seeks to debunk any of the homophobic explanations for Mineo’s death – that it was a lovers quarrel, a trick gone wrong, etc. It shows the crime for the stupid random act it was.

Almanya – Welcome to Germany

The Fest’s closing night film – Almanya – Welcome to Germany is, as a closing night film should be, a crowd pleaser about a family of immigrants from Turkey who move to Germany in the 1960s, then make a road trip back to the homeland near the end of the patriarch’s life. Good at tugging heartstrings while providing a lot of laughs on the way, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the ride, putting aside for just an hour or so my usual curmudgeonly attitude! I don’t want to be a spoiler, but it has some of the same elements as the immensely fun Little Miss Sunshine.

Sorry the trailer is auf Deutsch – YouTube didn’t seem to have one with English subtitles. I’d say this one is definitely worth putting on the Netflix queue.
