Having no hope, or sans espoir if one prefers, of attending in October and December, there was a faint glimmer for November...but as all good things must, that glimmer has since been extinguished.

All of those Hossein films was just to torment me, right, Don? Fortunately, I can watch them all at home (except Point du chute), though I will certainly miss the Roxie denizens.

Speaking of sans espoir, the last two double-features - Nov. 14 (evening) and Dec. 12 - are pairings as fine as you ever presented, at least as my taste goes.

Best of luck with this! Wish I could be there.
