Bamako | San Francisco Film Festival
Interesting post-screening panel discussion on this polemic film. Danny Glover (w/3-yr-old grandson in tote), while answering an audience Q mentioned that more people have rented Hotel Rwanda on DVD (from Netflix?) than ever saw it in theaters.

Reprise | San Francisco Film Festival
Saw this one today. I always enjoy subtitled flicks (I know, sounds like a lame thing to say, doesn’t it) and this one was Norwegian, with some touching bits of dark comedy. Filmmaker described as a former skate/punker.

NPR : Weighing Cho’s Heritage, and Identity
Robert Siegel claims Cho as on of our own, a local, in contrast to the international headlines that identified him as a Korean or South Korean first. This might seem irrelevant given his actions, but it’s not.
