The San Francisco International Animation Festival opens its 5th year tomorrow with some beautiful pieces, including the inspired, 60-minute visual feast, Here Come the Waves: The Hazards of Love Visualized, featuring the alternately toe-tappingly tranquil and torridly soul-stirring music of The Decemberists:
There are several shorts selections and a few features, including Mai Mai Miracle from Sunao Katabuchi, who honed his craft at the elbow of the great Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Ponyo). A review of Mai Mai Miracle from its recent screening at the Edinburgh Film Festival offered it high praise (review includes trailer).
Tickets to Landmark's Embarcadero Center Cinemas are $12.50 for most shows (senior discount available). Click here for more ticketing information.
