At Twitch, Andrew Mack relishes the full lineup of the Fantasia International Film Festival, happening July 9 through 27 in Montreal.
"Dialogues with Films: Four Decades of the Forum" is happening in Berlin from tomorrow through Sunday. Do click that title; as I explain at Artforum, for this 40th anniversary event, directors are being flown in from all over the globe to introduce films that've influenced them - and some of those intros are online.
On a related note: "The Berlinale will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2010 - and the public is invited to play a special role on this occasion." They're looking for memories: "What were your loveliest and most moving, thrilling, tearful, erotic, funny, upsetting, embarrassing and/or tender moments at the Berlinale?"
"Isabelle Huppert: Woman of Many Faces," on view at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing through July 19.
