Saturday 7 August – Locarno




This was a major work day as it was the first day for my new property manager, Lora. I oriented her and we cleaned the apartment together, taking inventory and thinking of improvements. It may not sound like much, but it takes all day.

In the evening, I saw what might have been my favorite new film of the festival: Fourth Portrait, about a young boy in Taiwan trying to find his place in the world.

John C. Reilly was an honoree of the festival this year. He was around to collect an award, usher in the European premiere of Cyrus (I had seen the West Coast premiere at the SF Film Festival in April), and generally to be celebrated. He held a press conference and our students starred in the video about it:

Almost all the young people featured, 6-8 women, are all part of our gang. Go team!

(I prefer to believe it was more the insight of the questions asked than any sexism on the part of the editor)
