With just about one week left, there is still plenty of time to take in a showing or participate in an event with the SIFF. The festival will wrap on June 13th after a twenty-five day run with the 2010 Closing Night Gala featuring a screening of Bill Murray and Robert Duvall's new movie Get Low.
Here is a brief on the film as written on the SIFF website, F
"For years, townsfolk have been terrified of backwoods recluse Felix Bush (Robert Duvall). Rumors abound of his unspeakable actions—cold-blooded killings, dealings with the Devil, even strange supernatural powers. Then, one day Felix rides into town with a shotgun and a wad of cash saying he wants to buy a funeral. It’s not your usual funeral Felix wants. On the contrary, he wants a “living funeral,” in which anyone who has ever heard a story about him will come to tell it, while he takes it all in. Sensing a big payday in the offing, fast-talking funeral home owner Frank Quinn (Bill Murray) enlists his young apprentice, Buddy Robinson, to win over Felix’s business. Buddy is no stranger to Felix’s reputation, but what he discovers behind Felix’s surreal plan is a very real, long-held secret. In his first feature film, Academy Award®-winner Aaron Schneider crafts an audaciously witty film that explores the tension between the grandeur of folk tales and the quiet poignancy of a real life laid bare of rumor and legend."
