THE ORDER OF MYTHS, a documentary film set in my hometown of Mobile, Alabama, directed by Margaret Brown, is showing all day at Lumiere Theater in San Francisco. Brown will be in attendance at the 7:15 and 9:15 shows, along with moderator Sam Green (The Weather Underground).

THE ORDER OF MYTHS has received rave reviews everywhere from the New York Times (”a wise and soberly effecting documentary”) to the LA Times (”brilliantly captivating, an invaluable portrait of us-and-them America, a smart, generous, poignant, quietly disturbing movie”). The New York Sun calls it THE KIND OF ILLUMINATING WORK THAT SENDS AUDIENCES STUMBLING HOME IN A WIDE-EYED STATE OF ASTONISHMENT. A HAUNTING AND IMPORTANT DOCUMENTARY.

I wish I could be at the Toronto Film Festival to see GREEN DOOR, a short by Semi Chellas (who wrote the screenplay for Newmarket Films’ adaptation of THE YEAR OF FOG). From the Toronto Sun: As witty as it is demonic, Chellas’ film is an incisive adult comedy about twisted relationships.
