I would like to point out a 7 part video of Alan Arkin receiving his King Vidor award at the SLO international festival on March 20. After a short speech, there’s a Q-and-A session, where he answers questions from the audience and talks about his life as an actor and his experiences. Let us all thank Youtube user xmsirius for uploading these videos.
Here’s the first one:

Next week, there are two major screening events in San Luis Obispo:
Tuesday, March 9 at the Fremont Theater
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (IMDB)
Tuesday brings us the next movie from the Fremont Theater’s successful Rewind Series. The theater opens at 7:00 p.m. and the feature starts at 7:30 p.m. The price of admission is $7:50. Click here for the full lineup and find out more.
Wednesday, March 10 at the San Luis Obispo County Library
Sunset Boulevard (IMDB)
Wednesday is the free screening day of the Film Noir series at the Library. There are not many occasions where you can see classic movies as old as 1950 on a big screen, so if you can make it, it’s definitely worth it. The event starts at 5:00 p.m.
This is a slideshow I made from snippets of interviews I did in the past. The clips feature Cal Poly Club of Independent Film-makers president Griffin Davis, SLO Art Center assistant director Muara Johnston and Palm Theater owner Jim Dee.
The subject is “Cinema in San Luis Obispo”. As this is a broad theme, there’s no real connection between what the three interviewees talk about, but I think it’s a fairly interesting insight on what these individuals, who really care about cinema in San Luis Obispo, are thinking.
I hope you enjoy.
