Fests and events, 11/15.

First, a free screening at the Seattle Art Museum that GreenCine's co-sponsoring: The Orange Revolution, a rousing, award-winning doc - tomorrow evening at 7.

"For me November always means 3rd i, or the San Francisco International South Asian Film Festival," writes Frako Loden at the Evening Class. "Launching this Friday, November 16, at the Victoria Theatre, it spends Saturday at the Castro and touches down at the Roxie Sunday for a final full day's viewing."

"How to describe the oeuvre of Mr Phil Chambliss?" asks Dennis Harvey at SF360. "Well, they're sort of absurdist trailer-park melodramas, twisted morality plays, gags chasing a punchline he alone might suss out. They're backwoods Beckett-except with more flavorful dialogue, and no sense that the author struck various postures of abject despair while writing them." Tonight and tomorrow at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco: Phil Chambliss: The Arkansas Auteur.

"The American Cinematheque's Argentine New Cinema 2007 kicks off Friday night at the Egyptian Theatre with a diverse weekend-long program of films rich in that country's distinct flavor," writes Kevin Crust in the Los Angeles Times. Also, there's Virtuosic Siblings: Berlin-Los Angeles Festival of Film and Art and PXL THIS 17 on Saturday and a few more local goings on.

Tonight and tomorrow at the Anthology Film Archives in NYC: Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation. The Reeler's ST VanAirsdale talks with the guys who spent a few years making it. Also, Ben Gold on MIX NYC, "a platform for queer experimental film" running through Monday.
