As any SBIFF regular can tell you, the Screenwriter’s Panel, usually occurring during a late weekend morning in the Lobero Theatre, is both one of the festival’s best and most overlooked offerings.
Cultural Production
It was a rainy Sunday morning when Graham King (“The Departed”), Jon Kilik (“Babel”), Robert Lorenz (“Letters From Iwo Jima”), Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa (“Little Miss Sunshine” and “Little Children”), Judd Apatow (“Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”) and Jay Roach (“Borat”) took the stage in front of a half-empty Lobero Theatre to discuss movie-going, movie-making and movie-producing.
Calendar for 2/1/07
Thursday (2/1/07): Sultry femme fatales, stoic tough guys, rough and tumble gangsters and a whole lot of sexy French accents make “Army of Shadows” one neo-noir film worth checking out immediately. Lucky for you, it’s playing at Campbell Hall at 7:30 tonight. Tickets are just $5 for UCSB students, so make sure to thank the Arts & Lectures people for hooking it up.
Method to the Madness
For some comedians, obscurity is a curse. For comedian/provocateur Sacha Baron Cohen, star of “Da Ali G Show” and “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” obscurity is his method.
