You’re in luck! Or at least I can say that you can count on five out of seven, because the schedule just came out and can be seen online here:

If anyone is enchanted by the legendary Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris, then they will like this unusual documentary. It is not a history of the cemetery; it’s about people who come there regularly to tend the graves of people they know who are buried there. Honigmann is an interesting doc director; our programmer has showed a few Honigmann docs and they have interesting subjects.

The Soderbergh film would be a good draw. In this current era of popular filmmaking, which is so juvenile and superficial, his movies now qualify as art-house cinema.

Chicago is experiencing a sort of boom in classic cinema. There are several unusual venues showing old movies of all sorts, and people are flocking to them. I think movie-goers of all ages are so disappointed in what is playing in the cineplexes that they are (re)turning to the past. That’s why I would show at least one of the classic movies. My vote would be WILD RIVER, but IF will definitely appeal to a college crowd.

This is off the cuff-by the way, since someone else mentioned it, what chance is there for Last Year at Marienbad? I saw that a good 25 years ago at the TLA in Philly when it was a movie house-ah, memories-really benefits from a big screen! (I really need to move to a more cinema-friendly environment!)

1. Fados.
2. Forever.
3. I Can See You.
4. Il Divo.
5. Katalin Varga.
6. The Lemon Tree.
7. The Limits of Control.
8. Nollywood Babylon.
9. Panic in the Streets.
10. Revanche.
11. Stingray Sam.
12. Julia (yay Tilda!)

IMHO,I wouldn’t schedule the movie with Crispin Glover in it. Yes, he was brilliant in Back to the Future, but he has a rep for strangeness. I saw him go absolutely nuts on David Letterman’s show when I was in college, late 1980s, and I don’t think you want to take the chance he’ll do that during your Q&A, and then you’ve met his contract stipulations all for naught.

Saura’s usually a good bet. “Forever” looks extraordinary. Bela Fleck is a genius — but can he hold our interest in a doc?

PANIC IN THE STREETS, WILD RIVER, THE LIMITS OF CONTROL, THE PARANOIDS and NOLLYWOOD BABYLON also catch my immediate interest here.

I didn’t get to vote on the last one, but I really hope you’ll be getting ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL. And BEST WORST MOVIE (and possibly TROLL 2 on tour with it), which you did NOT list, but which I have been totally pumped about since before it premiered at SXSW.

I’d also really like to see If…, Food Inc., and The Girlfriend Experience. Holywood Babylon and Limits of Control are also excellent choices.
