Howard Ziehm's cult classic FLESH GORDON will be screened right after our film, too - and I'll be there for all the presentations and Q&As. Hope to see some of you there!

Wir beschäftigen uns eingehend mit dem Film, der unter schwierigen Produktionsbedingungen litt, aber thematisch viel zu bieten hat - von klugen AI-Auseinandersetzungen über literarische Anspielungen hin zur Politsatire. Im Interview dabei: Steven Lisberger.

We talked a lot during the festival – he spoke Spanish, I spoke English, and with the help of his cousin Julie (who often translated for us), some modern technology and a lot of gestures & intuition, we proved that cinema is a universal language which brings people together beyond words.

It's an amazing, visually exhilarating piece of work which quickly draws you into a specific world of myth & legend – and then connects it to a sad and brutal political reality. I can't wait to see what Jorge will come up with next.

When Alejandro won the award, there was an absolutely thrilling & generous moment when he actually gave a shoutout to our documentary FINDING PLANET PORNO in his acceptance speech! It means a lot, and I'm so happy for them that their film is getting this kind of recognition.

Following three young men through their aimless & immature lives, HARAKIRI is a tough and edgy film, often upsetting and intense – it's raw and honest, and it's shot in a vibrant near-documentary style that's exciting to watch.

Here's a photo of a relaxed interview session, with festival director Torsten Neumann, fellow filmmaker Douglas Buck and myself gently interrogating Don & Barry about their lives & careers.

One of the highlights was being part of the Don Opper retrospective – meeting Don & his brother Barry (best known for CRITTERS & ANDROID) as well as Don's wife Denise, hosting Q&A sessions with them, having a lot of good conversations with them & discovering some really crazy mutual connections.

The film will be screened on Oct 13 (3.30pm) & Oct 16 (9pm). I'll be there for both screenings to introduce the film!

Thanks! I was at your screening and it was cool to hear people cheering at the end. I couldn't stay, unfortunately, because I had to catch my train - but congrats on the good reception!

The first screening is on September 12 at midnight, and there's another one on September 13 at 2.30pm. I'll be there to introduce both, of course! Hope to see you there.
