Thirteen blocks comprised of full-length features and genres mean movie goers can nibble or binge
Get on your movie mojo - the ninth annual Soo Film Festival runs Wednesday-Sunday, Sept. 14-18, at the Bayliss Library and Soo Theatre in Sault Ste. Marie Michigan.
Wednesday is foreign film night, with 11 short features from Spain, Iran, England, Germany, France, and Ireland screened altogether for just more than two hours beginning at 6:30 p.m. The festival shifts into high gear on Friday when it moves to the Soo Theatre on Ashmun St. It’s also when admission gets charged by the block, day, or for total access through Sunday night.
“The Taiwanese movie is kind of a quirky film that I think could be a sleeper,” said Markstrom. “It has many of the cultural quirks that have lately made Asian films like Korea’s Parasite quite popular in America.” Saturday’s full-length feature at 4 p.m. is a documentary, Imagining the Indian, that examines an ongoing movement hoping to end the use of sports mascots that stereotype Native Americans.
Sunday, the festival’s final day, begins at 11 a.m. with an offering of 16 animated shorts. A 104-minute afternoon block called “Sunday Screams” offers up eight horror-genre shorts. The festival ends Sunday with two full-length features, Driftless at 4:30 p.m. and Iron Lady 7 p.m.
