DESCRIPTION:REVOLUTION SUMMER World Premiere at 50th San Francisco International Film 
 Festival\n\nLocal filmmaker Miles Matthew Montalbano's feature debut is the 
 most open-hearted and open-minded political portrait to come down the pike 
 in ages. Written under the influence of Bush?s Iraqatastrophe and the 
 Vietnam War?era landmarks Medium Cool and Zabriskie Point, and directed 
 with a nod to the French New Wave, this Bay Area DIY production imagines a 
 trio of responses to the current repressive climate. Mackenzie Firgens 
 gives a screen-melting, star-making performance as the aptly named Hope, a 
 young woman with an undercurrent of vague idealism, an abundance of common 
 sense and no real direction. Her best friend, Francine (a bold, brave turn 
 by Lauren Fox), dismisses any discussion of philosophy and meaning in favor 
 of a live-for-today frenzy of drugs, sex and more drugs. When Hope hooks up 
 with Frankie (Samuel Child), an earnest, likable fellow  \nwho's signed on 
 to a subversive plot to attack an unknown target, the stakes are kicked up 
 a few notches. Brimming with restless energy and a palpable intelligence, 
 and driven by Christian Bruno and K.C. Smith's probing camerawork, 
 Revolution Summer is an up-close and deeply personal meditation on 
 individual\nresponsibility in the modern age. A provocation spawned by an 
 extraordinarily deep conviction, the film is nonetheless the antithesis of 
 a self-indulgent screed. It abounds with countless small pleasures, from 
 the tasty, spare soundtrack by Jonathan Richman to gritty glimpses of San 
 Francisco and Oakland, to a tongue-in-cheek cameo by local rocker Chuck 
 Prophet. With this sexy, dangerous drama that dances on the razor's edge 
 between anomie and violence, Montalbano announces himself as a filmmaker to 
 watch.\n\n- Michael Fox, SFIFF program notes\n\nWorld Premiere. Sponsored
