Other fests, other events, 5/26.

Low and Behold will be screening in Los Angeles on Tuesday. David Lowery has the details and the recommendation: "It's of one of the best films you'll see this year."

"My official title is 'Set Journalist' but I didn't do any of that - Guy Maddin likes to have somebody write a production diary that he can use for press kits or maybe give to the cast and crew, etc," recalls Adam at Another Green World. "I ended up as more of a garden-variety Production Assistant, being as helpful as I could, always planning on catching up with the writing later." And, like the Chicago Reader's Pat Graham, he's recently caught the full-blown live version of Brand Upon the Brain!.

The show hits Los Angeles on June 8 for a week-long engagement and, for the LA CityBeat, Andy Klein talks with Maddin.

"Jette Kernion of Slackerwood and Blake Etheridge of Cinema Strikes Back are pleased to announce the Alamo Downtown Blog-a-Thon, to take place on Monday, June 25, 2007." Related: At Bad Lit, Mike has the lineup for the Austin Underground Film Festival: June 9 at 3 pm, one of the last events at the Alamo in its original location.

"To help celebrate the silver anniversary of Tron and several other genre films released that same year, the American Cinematheque and Geek Monthly magazine are presenting 1982: Greatest Geek Movie Year Ever! at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica from June 15 through 17," notes Mike Winder in the LA CityBeat. "In addition to Tron, the festival will present Cat People, The Thing, The Dark Crystal, Poltergeist, and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Various cast and crew are scheduled to make appearances."
