San Francisco International Film Festival

[B Dunn]

There is an International Film Festival coming up at the Pacific Film Archive, April 22 - May 6. The listing also says that many of the filmmakers will be appearing in person at the screening (updates 510-642-1124).  

Of the films, the Japanese one is (besides the anime, see below):

Ikinai (Hiroshi Shimizu - 1998) --- Thurs May 6 7:00

Has anyone seen either of these?  I am thinking of going, but don't have a whole lot of time.  Any suggestions?

At the festival, there will also be some anime:
    
    My Father's Dragon (Elmer no Boken -- Masami Hata - 1997) -> Sat April 24 3:30


There will also be an anime festival in June:
