COMMENTS
Screened with My Terrorist. Michal Aviad in person.
OTHER
Tel Aviv-based, San Francisco-trained filmmaker Michal Aviad takes us on a personal journey in a poetically constructed visual essay that is a stream of candid home videos, remarkable public archives and historical events that parallel her family’s immigrant past. She brings it up to date with observations of renewed violence with the Palestinians in October 2000 when dreams for peace blew up in their faces. New anxieties about the future are mixed with the desire for hopeful signs as Aviad sets out to untangle her moral dilemmas and unravel questions of survival for her children.

FACTOID #176
Hordes of screaming teenagers were fascinated with the Rolling Stones, but so were influential imagemakers Jean-Luc Godard and Robert Frank. The SFIFF has screened three different films with the Rolling Stones as the main subject: Godard’s Sympathy for the Devil (SFIFF 1972), Frank’s Cocksucker Blues (SFIFF 1998) and the IMAX documentary At the Max (SFIFF 1991).
