And It Looks Like We Might Have Made It

Well, here we are. Nearly two weeks, some 250 films (nearly half of them shorts, for the record) and countless spins of that Drexel-made intro later and there’s only two screenings left. (Four, if you count tomorrow’s double dose of the doc Traces of the Trade, which is technically post-festival.) Tonight you have your choice of the doc Richie Ashburn A Baseball Life (5pm, Prince Music Theater), to which there are still apparently a couple tickets left, and…that’s it, really, since the official Closing Night Film, Patti Smith: Dream of Life (7:15pm, PMT), is sold out and then some. I’ve seen neither but I’ll report back on the Smith doc later tonight (or sometime tomorrow if the Closing Night Party leaves me too soused to write).

Expect some end-o’-fest ruminations sometime tomorrow.
