I hope I don't get in trouble for spilling the beans, but this just came across in a press release:
The next edition of the SFIAAFF will celebrate its 25th anniversary, and will feature a new location, AMC Van Ness Theatres, as its primary venue. The full program will be announced at a press conference on February 13, 2007.
What do you all think?
I know the Kabuki had it's share of problems, and it was always hard reading subtitles there, but I LOVED IT! I haven't been too fond of the AMC Van Ness the few times I've been there, and moreover, it really doesn't have the Asian American neighborhood vibe.
I hope this is temporary --- but who knows, maybe I'll love the Van Ness. Find One-ness at Van Ness...

Sat, December 16, 2006 - 8:46 AMJust got this from Karen Larsen of Larsen Associates, in charge of press:
"Sundance bought the Kabuki and is in the process of renovating it. It won't be ready by March. We are also disappointed but hope to be back in 2008 -and in the meantime attrack a new audience."
That's the answer I was hoping for. At least Sundance didn't give us the boot, and we'll have a brand new theater to return to the following year. Cheers to the SFIAFF team for securing another location at what must have been relatively short notice!

Although that's all a matter of perspective, I suppose.:-)

Sat, December 16, 2006 - 5:46 PMoh, that makes sense. it's too bad the renovation didn't really get started on schedule. oh well.
Well, we'll have to see how the AMC Van Ness can accommodate. I'm not going to be able to run to Nishiya for bentos anymore. What am I going to eat?
on the up side, AMC Van Ness has super digital projection facilities. So, that's cool.

Sun, December 17, 2006 - 11:35 AMEmbarassed to say, but I don't think I've made it out to an AA film fest yet. In fact, I've only been to one or two film fests in my life, and they were relatively recent. So I'm happy with whatever venue SF will offer. I'm definitely gonna try harder to make it out from now on. -
