10th SF Documentary Festival at the Roxie and Shattuck Theaters October 14, 2011

Oct 14-27, 2011, various times

The 10th San Francisco Documentary Festival kicks off with DIRTY PICTURES, a film about the Bay Area chemist who discovered the effects of MDMA and other psychedelics, and ends with the THE STAN LEE STORY, about the most recognized name in comics. In between we meet Egyptian belly dancers; California summer campers; the puppeteer behind Elmo; kids that run off to join the circus or want to become ballerinas; international hip hoppers; Christian card counters; English punk rockers; artists; yoga practitioners; new soldiers; compulsive collectors; stand-up comics; Tetris masters; and animator Bill Plympton. Plus we take a delightful wander around Berlin in the Fall.

Don't miss the Opening Night Party (Oct 14), the superhero themed Closing Night Party (Oct 27) or the annual Roller Disco Costume Party (Oct 22) all at CellSpace, 2050 Bryant at 18th. And make sure the 80s New Wave Sing A Long party at the Roxie Theater (Oct 15) is on your calendar too!

The festival runs Oct 14-27 at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, and Oct 14-20 at the Shattuck Cinema in Berkeley. Go to sfindie.com for details, film trailers, advance tix and more!
