Film / Video

The 26th annual Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival is upon us, and Al Milgrom and his cohorts over at the Minnesota Film Arts offices have put together an impressive slate of films to say the least. It’s daunting to sort through and pick from the 150 or so programs, so for my sake - and yours, I’ve asked some colleagues and friends to pass on their recommendations. Here they are:

Sheryl Mousley, Curator, Film/Video, Walker Art Center

• You the Living (April 18 and 19)
• Momma's Man (April 18 and 20)
• Alexandra (April 22 and 29)
• Up the Yangtze (April 28)

Dean Otto, Assistant Curator, Film/Video, Walker Art Center

• And Along Come Tourists (Saturday, April 19)
• Still Life (Sunday, April 20)
• Irina Palm (April 21 and 25)

• Woman on the Beach (April 21)
• Red Elvis (April 23)
• Dry Season (April 24)

• The Mosquito Problem and Other Stories (April 25 and 27)
• Savage Grace (April 27 and 28)
• Import/Export (April 29 and May 2)

Verena Mund, Women With Vision Program Associate

Kathie Smith, Flim Critic and blogger extraordinaire

I’d also like to add a plug for Song Sung Blue (April 26). It was nothing I had expected and completely blew me away.

See you at the movies!
