Fests and events, 12/5.

Tomorrow evening's program, Marlow's Cabinent of Curiosities Revisited, features rarities sure to delight and bewilder.

Also at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts: "San Francisco master Nathaniel Dorsky, who's been hand-crafting elegant explorations of the urban world for four decades, is one of a handful of experimental filmmakers whose completion of a new work is major news. His latest shard of genius, Song and Solitude, is a twilight sojourn to a secret world much like our own, rendered with profound patience and a hint of wistfulness." For SF360, Michael Fox previews the Sunday evening program.

"Faro is so bound up in the tortured psychodynamics of the films it's hard to get a sense of it as a purely physical place, but here, in what he says will be his last film appearance, Bergman draws back the curtain for [Marie] Nyreröd's camera to explore." Robert Cashill previews Bergman Island, screening tomorrow evening at NYC's Film Forum.

Stephen Holt at Movie City News: "High Falls is kind of a well-kept secret, but [artistic director] Catherine Wyler definitely wants that to change."

For Kamera, Steven Yates looks back on the Molodist Film Festival in Kiev.
