Fests and events, 12/4.

At the Siffblog, David Jeffers offers "a run-down of Seattle's winter silent film screenings, and two out of town dates well worth the trip."

Performance: A Photographic Exhibition featuring the work of Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg will be on view at the Drkrm Gallery in LA January 20 through February 24.

"Nobody sees Béla Tarr's Sátántangó without a gut full of piggish determination," Annie Wagner wrote in the Stranger last week. Paul Matwychuk couldn't agree more and, writing in his new blog, The Moviegoer, admits "my eagerness to see Sátántangó was probably motivated as much by dumb, masochistic pride as by my interest in the film's actual content."

And there's another marathon lumbering from screen to screen; Bilge Ebiri has taken in Jacques Rivette's Out 1: "I am happy to report that the film absolutely lives up to its mystique as a seminal phantom of world cinema. Beautiful, haunting, and uniquely engaging, it's also no less mysterious to me now, having seen it, than it was beforehand."
