Fests and events, 5/8.

Brian Darr previews the summer for those in the San Francisco Bay Area who won't be seeing these.

Everybody's Pregnant Slant's Ed Gonzalez previews the eight darkish shorts of the Cartoons: No Laughing Matter? program at the Film Forum (May 10 through 23).

The Sundance Institute at BAM series runs from May 11 through May 21; New York's Logan Hill interviews Robert Redford.

Sujewa Ekanayake's "very happy about the premiere happening in DC, regardless of who shows up & regardless of the crazy amount of work that needs to get done now until 7 PM on Sat 5/13." That's Date Number One at the Goethe-Institut.

Silk Screen: Asian American Film Festival runs May 12 through 20 in Pittsburgh.

The Invisible Film Series, May 20 at the Millennium Film Workshop in NYC.

4, 3, 2, 1... Muerte en el Espacio Posterwire.com points out that the exhibition Coming Attractions! 80 Years of Cinematic Science: Movie Posters From Around the World runs at the New York Academy of Sciences through June 30.

Acquarello among the Cinemarati: "For those living in the DC area, June will be a great opportunity to see several of Theo Angelopoulos's films on the big screen at the National Gallery of Art."

At Koreanfilm.org, Darcy Paquet looks back on the just-wrapped Jeonju International Film Festival, which has to rank as one of the most pleasant filmgoing experiences in Korea (if you're into independent/arthouse film, that is)."

Michael at Twitch, straight from Hot Docs: Dear Pyongyang and Darkon.

A few more reviews from the Tribeca Film Festival: At Cinematical, Karina Longworth on The Treatment and Christopher Campbell on Close to Home; and at Cinema Strikes Back, Charlie Prince on Flock of Dodos.

A reader tells The Reeler all about the surprise midnight screening on what was basically the last night of the fest: "The only bigger surprise than the fact that I really like Mary is that Abel Ferrara is still alive. He is a certifiable 'handful,' and his personal flamboyance is not to everyone's taste."

And another San Francisco International Film Festival review from Michael Guillen: Adam's Apples.
