(Please note: The play button will appear once the video has loaded. This may take a moment.) MVFF Video Webcast - Supplemental Reading! The Mill Valley Film Festival takes place annually in scenic Marin County, just over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. Small in scale but large in both heart and quality, the festival brings in talent from around the world. Our Mill Valley Film Festival video report covers the highlights from the festival's just-concluded 29th edition. There were two fine films screened opening night, The Last King of Scotland and Anthony Minghella's Breaking and Entering. Thus far, Minghella has been known more for his epic films The English Patient and Cold Mountain. Breaking and Entering works on a much smaller scale and stars Robin Wright Penn, Jude Law and Juliette Binoche. Penn, previously seen in The Pledge, She's So Lovely and, of course, The Princess Bride, amongst many others, answered audience questions alongside producer and oft-time director, and occasional actor, Sydney Pollack (Out of Africa, Tootsie, Sketches of Frank Gehry, etc.). Director Rob Nilsson has a longstanding relationship with the Mill Valley Film Festival ever since his first feature, Cannes prize-winner Northern Lights screened there almost 30 years ago. Nilsson has a unique, fiercely independent community approach to filmmaking, which you can read more about in Jonathan Marlow's 2005 interview. We also loved talking to Infamous director Douglas McGrath so much that we had to include some audio from our hot-of-the-presses interview with him. Based on the same events explored in last year's Capote, Infamous manages somehow to be both lighter and more depressing than its predecessor. Its romantic heart is no doubt the burden of its director, whose previous films have included adaptations of Emma and Nicholas Nickleby. Finally, God Grew Tired of Us managed to win both the Audience and the Jury awards at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Director Christopher Quinn was able to answer audience questions about the generation of Sudanese "lost boys" that is the subject of his longtime labor-of-love documentary. |
