DLeonard	post #1  on September 11, 2002 - 11:07 AM PDT   Just wanted to let folks know about the Mario Bava films showing at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts this month. The series concentrates on Bava's suspense and horror films, and I should note that all of the films being shown are available on DVD (and listed on this site) with one notable exception; Kidnapped. Showing twice on Sept. 27th, this is the long lost film Mario Bava was never able to finish editing due to problems with the investors. Previously known as Rabid Dogs, which was available on DVD for a short time, this is the first showing that I've heard of of this film in the Bay Area. There was a nice article in the Bay Guardian last week about the films, which can probably be found on there website, and the YBCA has more info about the showings and advance ticket sales on their website (yerbabuena.org). Oh, yeah, the East Bay will also get the series at the Pacific Film Archives, but the list of films is different, and does not include Kidnapped.
