Who isn't curious about what happens behind the scenes while making a film?
'Sneak peak' installment number four brings the spotlight to filmmaker Dan Goldes, whose short, Arrested (Again), will be shown on Sunday, April 23, at 12:30 pm, in the Roxie.
This film is particularly dear to SFGFF's heart for a number of important reasons.
The obvious ones involve proximity: Goldes is our neighbor, a resident filmmaker in our own office building, the Ninth Street Independent Film Building; and the subject of his film, Karen Topakian, is on our screening committee.
But perhaps more importantly, Goldes is a wonderful filmmaker, and Topakian is, just, kind of wonderful.
A well known human rights activist. Topakian has been arrested dozens of times for using nonviolent civil disobedience to protest nuclear proliferation, human rights abuses, environmental issues, and war.
Goldes tells Topakian's story with both humor and heart.
