Directly as sent to me:

“The main event on the opening day of the Staten Island Film Festival, Thursday, June 5, will be a screening of “Touch of Evil,” the 1998 reconstructed version. This film was proposed by Chris Welles Feder, Welles’s eldest daughter, who will present it to the festival audience and then take questions and answers following the screening. The film will be shown at the College of Staten Island, Center for the Arts. For more information, visit the festival’s web site: www.sifilmfestival.org”

And there you have it. Any of our NY-area readers who make it, please feel free to send your impressions, or post them on the message board. In site news, my apologies for the recent post reversal thing again; I tried innocently to see what the main page would look like with a widget installed, and the widget served only to make things go into ReverseLand, which was bad and couldn’t be fixed whatever I did. It so happened that WordPress needed to be upgraded again anyway, so that has straightened things out for the time being, until the next time MySQL goes wonky.
