Join the SF Green Film Festival on Wednesday, September 12, with award-winning, Bay Area documentary filmmaker Judy Irving who will show excerpts from her work-in-progress film PELICAN DREAMS about the most enigmatic of our local birds, the Brown Pelican.

Judy directed THE WILD PARROTS OF TELEGRAPH HILL but her love for Brown Pelicans goes even further back:

“Because pelicans have an ancient magic about them, and because their near-extinction and recovery parallel our human relationship to the environment, I’ve been wanting to make a film about them for years, but I needed a good story! One August afternoon, a confused young pelican landed on the roadway of the Golden Gate Bridge, causing a spectacular traffic jam and providing the beginning of a perfect narrative arc for this film.”

Learn about and participate in the creative process of filmmaking! Join us for this unique work-in-progress event, see short clips and extracts from the upcoming film, and discuss the process of creating a narrative arc in a documentary. This project is not yet at the stage of a traditional rough cut, but the film’s structure is beginning to emerge.

Wednesday, September 12
6:30pm for refreshments, 7:00pm for program
Ninth Street Independent Film Center, 145 9th Street (at Mission/Howard)
Tickets: $12/$11
