SIFF Cinema Winter 2010 - Sneak Peek

I've been wondering what's on the agenda at SIFF Cinema after the new year. While the full winter guide doesn't seem to available in any convenient form online poking around their web does seem to yield up most of the scheduled films into the beginning of March. If you can't wait to plan your movie watching here's a sneak peak. All of this information is from what appear to be live pages - but given that they're not exactly clearly linked (though all discoverable) I'd imagine it's possible some things may change.

The first grouping seems to be archival French offerings including:

• Mon Oncle (1958)
• Playtime (1967)
• Trafic (1971)
• Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953)

There's some more recent offerings from the last year

• Mine
• Garbage Dreams

I believe Garbage Dreams is on the Academy Awards doc shortlist for this year of films eligible to make the final 5 nominations.

Next up is a grouping of films titled "Sci-Fi on Blu-Ray"

• Planet of the Apes (1968)
• 12 Monkeys (1995)
• 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
• The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)
• Logan's Run (1976)

Then as we move into Februay's offerings there's a mini Kurosawa series including

• Stray Dog (1949)
• The Bad Sleep Well (1960)
• The Hidden Fortress (1958)
• High and Low (1963)
• The Seven Samurai (1954)

And what appears to be a longer noir series (Noir City I presume) including

• Pitfall (1948)
• Larceny (1948)
• Cry Danger (1951)
• The Mob (1951)
• The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)
• He Ran All the Way (1951)
• Inside Job (1946)
• Human Desire (1951)
• Red Light (1949)
• Walk a Crooked Mile (1948)
• Deported (1950)
• Fly-by-Night
• Slattery's Nightmare
• Pickup on South Street

Mixed in is the more recent Eyes of Danger (2009). March has a somewhat smaller selection of films announced. Actually, just one the well reviewed documentary Prodigal Sons (2008) .
