Alley Pezanoski-Browne, a lauded local filmmaker in her own right, turned me on to tonight’s Film Arts Forum at Mezzanine. The “Meet the Programmers” event is to include decision makers from the SF International Asian American Film Festival, SF IndieFest, Frameline, the SF Jewish Film Festival and the SF International Film Festival. It’s hosted by the latter and sure to get into questions about the programming selection process for local fests and screenings, topics that Frameline festival director Jennifer Morris and IndieFest ED Jeff Ross are no strangers to. 

I was glad to see a bit of peer work review included in the schedule–the night includes Laptop Shop, a chance to “screen your clips, trailers, marketing materials, design directions—or whatever else you’re working on” through your own computer or materials. How very interactive.
