Terror's Advocate screening

Tomorrow at 3, the Cable Car is going to be screening the Terror's Advocate for the French Film Festival. The film looks sort of like a French/continental equivalent to 'The Trials of Henry Kissenger' [note the runtime, but also the different narrative style] http://http://www.cablecarcinema.com/index.cfm?p=movie&id=L%27Avocat%5Fde%5Fla%5Fterreur

For those of you who would rather get your weekend global media fix from home, here's a link to a sweeping mini-doc about the ills of globalization from the Children of Men DVD special features.

Or better yet, Les Blank's mini-doc on Werner Herzog eating his shoe, discussing images, and promoting Errol Morris' first feature film "Gates of Heaven". http://http://youtube.com/watch?v=-ymyiRXCszc
