Though my trip to Hawaii has nothing to do with art appreciation, I visited the Honolulu Museum of Art on Wednesday morning with a Honolulu resident who had never been there herself.

Thursday night I caught one of the last screenings at the SF International Film Festival & saw God Loves Uganda, a documentary tracing the influence of American evangelical Christians on Uganda.

On the last day of the SF International Film Festival, I saw The Last Step, an Iranian film by Ali Mosaffa.

Wednesday evening I saw Present Tense, my first fiction film of the SF International Film Festival.

Tuesday evening at the SF International Film Festival I saw The Kill Team, a morally fraught documentary about a group of US soldiers convicted of killing unarmed Afghan civilians in 2010 for sport.

Last night the SF International Film Festival announced the winners of its Golden Gate Awards at an event in the plush interior of Nick’s Crispy Tacos.
