Fests and events, 1/29.

Andy Spletzer is attending the International Film Festival Rotterdam (through February 4) and blogging away. Yesterday, he described how, on the spur of the moment, he made a film - which is now showing at the fest. Ok, not in the program, but it is showing at the fest. Related: European-films.net is all over the festival with reviews and several particularly nice pix.

Jonathan Rosenbaum's in Rotterdam as well: "I've seen only one feature so far that I've cared for very much - a documentary called Murch by Edie and David Ichioka, about film editor Walter Murch (whom I once had the pleasure of working with on a re-edited version of Orson Welles's Touch of Evil). The film offers a fascinating glimpse of some of the tricks of Murch's trade, presented with wit and lucidity."

"On Friday the weather didn't disappoint, with a steady rain falling much of the day." Wendell Jamieson seems to genuinely enjoy reporting from the Noir City festival in San Francisco for the New York Times. Also through February 4.
