by Ryland Walker Knight The day after I returned to the Bay Area, I saw the new PFA film calendar online and tweeted twice ( 1 , 2 ) about it. But that doesn't quite do justice to how cool a "Welcome Home!" these next two, final months of 2009 promise to be in my backyard cinematheque. A year ago I had quite a time covering the PFA, indulging in almost everything available by Jia Zhang-ke...
" We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we'd lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night ." So famously said Humphrey Bogart to Ingrid Bergman in the marvelous conclusion of one of the greatest films of all time, "Casablanca."

The monochrome world of Hitchcock’s Spellbound has been revisited in a new artistic medium — layers of brown parcel tape stuck on to a 4ft-high sheet of clear plastic through which light is shone.
It was an interesting Hallowee'n. We ate around 6pm, so as to be ready for the Trick or Treaters. They started to trickle around 7pm, just as we'd settled down to watch Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde on Turner Classic Movie channel - the Spencer Tracy and Ingrid Bergman version. It was dusk.

Hitchcock of course also turns up in a tiny scene, as was his habit. The movie takes place in Rio, where the US intelligence is tracking down Nazi refugees involved in criminal activities.
