KURT COBAIN ABOUT A SON

SIFF-ting Through Celluloid-Part 2

The 2007 Seattle International Film Festival is in full swing, so I am continuing my series sharing some of this year’s highlights with you.

This week, we’ll take a look at the new rock doc “Kurt Cobain: About a Son”, directed by AJ Schnack (whose previous work includes “Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns).

It’s nearly impossible to be a pop culture aficionado living here in Seattle and not be reminded of Cobain’s profound impact on the music world. Every April, around the anniversary of his death, wreaths of flowers and hand taped notes begin to appear on a lone bench in a tiny public park sandwiched between the lakefront mansions I pass on my way to work every morning. Inevitably, I will see small groups of young people with multi-colored hair and torn jeans, making their pilgrimage and holding vigil around this makeshift shrine, located a block or two from the home where he took his own life. – read more

Low and Behold

Fact and fiction meet in "Low and Behold"

Zack Godshall and Barlow Jacobs were two film students - kicking around ideas for telling fictional stories in real world settings - when Katrina drowned their home state of Louisiana.

Barlow Jacobs in "Low and Behold"
His house destroyed, Jacobs became an insurance claims adjuster in around New Orleans, often sleeping in his car before heading out the next day to speak with people who wanted to talk for hours about what happened, because they wanted to tell their stories.

That job became research for the character he would play in "Low and Behold," a film about an insurance claims adjustor who makes his way through the shocked New Orleans landscape, picking up a haphazard entourage along the way. (A 20-something, college graduate, the character is not based on Jacobs, just on his experiences and on the other adjusters with whom he worked.) – read more
