The Sacramento International Film Festival will run from March 29th through April 6th at the Crest Theater in downtown Sacramento. Check out the lineup.

One of the segments of the festival will feature entries from Northern California, including drector Mike Posehn's Placerqatsi:

Inspired by director Ron Fricke's films, Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka, and Chronos, Placerqatsi is a look at life in Placer County, California. Qatsi is the Hopi word 'life' giving Placerqatsi's the simple meaning 'Life in Placer County'. Ordinary human activities seem boring and mundane until seen in a different time scale revealing a pattern and rhythm of movement not otherwise apparent. Placer county activities captured over a one year time span are shown as if they occurred during a prototypical single day. People are shown working, playing, eating and shopping in the midst of the natural beauty that surrounds them.

Check out the NorCal entries on Saturday, March 29th at 6:30 PM.
