OTHER
In 1969, a group of independent filmmakers staged a messy pie fight in front of the Masonic Auditorium on opening night of the Festival. A self-proclaimed publicity stunt, it was also a statement about their artistic plight.
FACTOID #384
Henry Fonda attended the SFIFF in 1967 to receive a tribute for his work in classics like The Grapes of Wrath and 12 Angry Men. Daughter Jane showed up in 1975 for a tribute of her own. And her brother Peter made two Festival appearances, one as a guest in 1963 and another to accompany the film Nadja (in which he gleefully portrayed Dr. Van Helsing) in 1995.
