w/b nice to see SF again although I do *not* look forward to driving in it; could also see friends, get another tattoo (I'm overdue)
also tremendously glad SFSFF is back at the Castro

I should make a list of all the films Muller has introduced at SFSFF events, unless someone else has already done that.

I couldn't tell if he truly was aggravated by the sight of me or my presence or if this was some strange attempt to hit on me. Do Swedes roast to flirt like the Irish do? I never found out. I wasn't single, & he reminded me of Animal from THE MUPPET SHOW. So that's how I once had a SFSFF nemesis.

I despise New Years Eve second only to the Fourth of July. Watching the MoMA SFSFF restoration of FOOLISH WIVES with a frightened cat on my lap.

paired for the first time with his Below the Surface (1920), both newly restored by the SFSFF and available in their most complete versions. Flicker Alley’s initial publication of Behind the Door was honored as Best Blu-ray/DVD disc at Il Cinema Ritrovato in 2018.

Well, HIS GREATEST BLUFF was a delight! Harry Piel co-directing himself as twins was wild and Marlene Dietrich (in her first major role) almost stole the show. More importantly, the new chairs weren't as uncomfortable as I feared and the restored ceiling was gorgeous. Will Castro again. #SFSFF 📽️

If you know me, you know I love a heist film. So I am very excited to be taking The Math Greek to see HIS GREATEST BLUFF at the Castro tonight. #SFSFF #Filmsky 📽️🎞️🎬

THE STUDENT OF PRAGUE (1928) is a forgotten Faust-like tale from the screenwriter of NOSFERSTU and WAXWORKS Henrick Galeen. The first half is pretty bland but it picks up with a terrifying last 20. Screened on an old 16mm and after the reception of the Galeen directed film at SFSFF this one is due.

I never really knew the man myself, but got quite a bit out of his introductions to films at @sfsilentfilm, @BAMPFA etc. & his influence elsewhere; I forged friendships with some of his former students when they joined the SFSFF researchers’ roundtable.

Top musical highlights from yesterday’s Day of Silents: Alloy’s dissonant score for From Morn to Midnight, one of their best barring Man With a Movie Camera, & Wayne Barker’s SFSFF debut for Exit Smiling; he vamped perfectly during a moment when the projectionist lost the loop.

The Hound of the Baskervilles (R. Oswald 29) I’m no Holmes adaptation expert but this is among the most stylish & best I’ve seen. Certainly the best silent. Maybe up there with The Scarlet Claw as my favorite b&w. (Wilder’s Private Life of Sherlock Holmes rules the roost.) #SFSFF

Anyway I enjoyed what I stubbornly continue to call the SFSFF 'Winter Event', despite knowing people in no mood to enjoy that day.

I won't lie. I'm disappointed in the 80% digital lineup for the SFSFF event today. (Piccadilly's in 35mm). But I do want to hear @Alloyorch.
