Family Films is free and it's animated films. It's kid friendly, but not just for kids. I might go see that program. It's at Loussac.
Check It was the Gay-la documentary.
The Music in Film panel is for film makers, but people interested in film might want to go too.
"Join special guest, Liz Storm, and other industry professionals to discuss music licensing for film, copyrights, and distribution royalties."Pale Blue Dot is a great Indian film. I posted a homework assignment for it last week, but after watching it, you don't need to know the Hindu legend before hand. But you might want to read about it afterward.
I did a second Pale Blue Dot post just now with video capturing people's reaction as they came out of the theater after seeing the movie last week.

Between Earth and Sky is a documentary about climate change featuring Alaska.
Over the River is an Italian documentary about the town of Caselle in Pittare,, and how the young are leaving and the old oral traditions are dying.
Life Hack was an interesting feature about two people whose lives are disrupted when people hack their phone and computer.
I'll go see Animation 2 - though at Animation 1 last night computer problems marred the program and we didn't really get to see a couple of films, at least not the way we should have. This one is also in the E Street Theater so I hope they change computers or whatever it is they need to do. It was my first time in the theater and it's a good venue - if the films show right.
AlphaGo is a riveting documentary about a human (the best go player in the world) playing against a new computer program (AlphaGo). It follows the model of sporting event documentaries as we see the preparation (of the AlphaGo team anyway, not of the Korean champion) and then get nail biting coverage of each game. It was well done. A strong contender for best documentary.
What If It Works? is a fun feature. The synopsis sounds a little strange, but it worked well due in part to strong actors playing interesting characters. He's OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and she's got multiple personalities. It takes place in Australia.
Shorts on the Edge is the same program as opening night.
As I'm writing this I'm realizing that I've seen a lot of films this week with two full days left.
A warning for Sunday evening. I've live blogged the Awards Galas for the last couple of years. I might even try to set up a live YouTube feed this year. Though I've never done that before and I'm not sure I can pull it off between now and then. But look out for the announcements.
