The Best of SIFF '09

Published on June 17, 2009 at 5:01am

If you missed some of the best and most popular titles at SIFF, this mini-fest will give you a second chance. The weekend begins with the true-life cyber-dating and murder documentary talhotblond (at 4:30 p.m.). See www.siff.net for the full schedule, which also includes Golden Space Needle Award winner Black Dynamite (9:30 p.m. Sat.), a funny blaxploitation revival comedy. The eco-thriller doc The Cove (1:30 p.m. Sun.) was another worthy prize winner. If you didn't want to pay the full closing-night gala price for the French spy spoof OSS 117: Lost in Rio (7 p.m. Fri.), take your chance now; it may not gain distribution in this country. Parents and kids will dig the new Wallace & Gromit short, included in a family package of titles (11 a.m. Sat.). Local directors are represented with Lynn Shelton's Humpday (9:30 p.m. Fri.) and David Russo's The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle (8:30 p.m. Sun.). (NR) BRIAN MILLER
