Shame on me. When I think of niche film festivals, I imagine entries normally rejected for lack of content, admitted for the ability to find the niche theme laced in it’s unwatchability. Shame on me. I need to go to more film festivals. At least return to San Francisco’s Bicycle Film Festival next year.

Our Sunset friends joined Ali and I on Friday evening to watch Program 1 of many. The first film, Street Fighter, was a HD/16mm/8mm beautiful look at Toronto’s Critical Mass, directed by the festival creator Benny Zenga. I missjudged the youtubesque intro. Shame on me. It was gorgeous and captivating.
the main event was, Monkey Warfare. Disguised initially as a low budget, film school flunky, the film’s content quickly made up for the lack of production design polish. The films activist theme couldn’t have come at a better time in my life, finding myself in a city filled with a movement for every cause. From gutter punks to bicycle gangs. From Neo-Ludites, to Singularity Summits. From Vegans to causeless self important bloggers. Shame on me.
