Fests and events, 3/28. Left coast edition.

"A late entry into the SFIAAFF line-up was a proposed panel - 'Down and Dirty Pictures' - with the 'bad boys' of Asian American cinema: Gregg Araki, Roddy Bogawa and Jon Moritsugu, moderated by Marcus Hu," writes Michael Guillén, and before he presents a transcript, he passes along a terrific note from Bogawa explaining why he couldn't make it. Parts 1 and 2.

Adventure Poseidon The, Anne McGuire's remake-reversal of The Poseidon Adventure, screens tomorrow evening at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Johnny Ray Huston finds it "a rare example of formal art practice that never loses touch with the pop appeal of its source material."

Also in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Max Goldberg: "Given the feverish tenor of [Godard's] output, the relative quietude of 1967's Two or Three Things I Know about Her (playing at the Castro Theatre in a striking new 35mm print from Rialto Pictures) comes as something of a surprise 40 years on. Sandwiched between the hyperventilating back-and-forth of Masculine-Feminine and Weekend's apocalyptic moan, the film is the eye of the storm of Godard's 60s, that crucial moment between impact and explosion." SF360 rounds up related links.

And Dennis Harvey previews "A Month of Sleazy Sundays, four unholy nights of vintage exploitation gems beginning this April Fools' Day at the Mission District's lovable Victoria Theatre, brought to you by Another Hole in the Head and SF Indiefest's Bruce Fletcher, among others."
