BEST BET Fort Baker goes Hollywood!
The impressive views in Sausalito will expand to the big screen this summer, as the SAUSALITO FILM FESTIVAL draws back the curtain on its sophomore year Aug. 13. The three-day festival describes itself as an “experiential” event—which basically means they’re screening topical films about contemporary social issues and combining them with musical performances and analytical panel discussions. This year’s baker’s dozen lineup of films includes Climate Refugees,about what becomes of displaced peoples following environmental disasters; The Anatomy of Vince Guaraldi, a documentary on the jazz musician famous for the critically acclaimed soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas; Waste Land, which follows artist Vik Muniz’s return to his native Brazil to photograph the world’s largest garbage dump on the outskirts of Rio; and How I Am, a doc focusing on the life of an autistic teenage boy, told in his own words. There’s also a “secret screening” of a new film by an “acclaimed director” and starring an “Oscar-winning actor,” according to the festival. Events are held at Cavallo Point Lodge in Fort Baker. Tickets are $10 advance; $12 door. Call 415/887-9506 or check out www.sausalitofilmfestival.com.—Jason Walsh 24 PACIFIC SUN AUGUST 6 - AUGUST 12, 2010
