It soon might be a reality. There might actually be more film festivals in San Francisco than there are weeks to dedicate to them. In fact, this may be happening already with an overlap in two film fests -- the Roxie's Film Noir "I Wake Up Dreaming: The Haunted World of the B Film Noir" and the Greek Film Festival at the Delancey Screening Room (600 Brannan St.).
The Roxie fest runs through May 28 with daily double features for just $10. Dude -- that's two old films that aren't even on DVD for less than the price of one new one that's not only available everywhere, you've already got the promotional plastic sippy cup from Mickey D's to go with it.
The Greek flicks kick off tonight and run through May 24. On most nights, $15 gets you a short and a feature of some rare treats, including a screening on Friday, May 22 of the original version of Nikos Koundouros’ 1958 masterpiece "Oi Paranomoi" (The Outlaws) – which was banned for years due to government censorship.
Meanwhile -- we know not everybody out there can love old celluloid and foreign films, so we've got a special treat to reward you for reading this far. FREE movie passes for the first scream-a-thon of the summer, "Drag Me to Hell" are available from the SF Examiner. Send them an email to moviepromo@SFExaminer.com with "Drag Me to Hell" in the subject line before noon on Tuesday, May 19. Passes are for tomorrow night, Tuesday, May 19.
