Breakfast buffet again, but this time half as many helpings.

After breakfast, went into Vienna with Mark and Cindy to do some shopping.  Cindy bought 22 organic chocolate bars as stocking stuffers for Christmas.  I found a scratched Nick Cave album and a Motorhead album that I didn't have.  We swung by one of the theatres involved in the fest and they were selling Monkey Warfare DVDs.  Mark bought a Straub DVD and I bought a Kenneth Anger DVD.  The Kenneth Anger DVD came with a booklet that advertised text commentaries by Martin Scorsese, Gus Van Sant, Guy Maddin and others.  Glad to see Guy no longer falls into the others category.  Turns out that one of the others was Bobby Beausoleil who is the basis for the character of Bobby in my next film.

We returned to the festival headquarters and watched Tom Kalin's new movie Savage Grace.  Mark is moderating a panel with Tom Kalin and Todd Haynes.  Movie had an interesting tone and agressive performance by Julianne Moore, but not entirely successful overall.  Does have a scene where Julianne Moore gives her adult son a hand job.

After this, we went to our last screening.  Again it was sold out to an appreciative younger audience.  Mark, Cindy and I had coffee during the screening at the Imperial Hotel where Wagner, Rilke and Hitler used to hang out.

There was a cocktail party at the hotel that night.  Many of the people who we've been hanging out with had been to the screening and were there including Francisco who loved the movie and writes for Cahiers Du Cinema.  We were also introduced to Ralph from Arte which is a powerhouse television network in France and Germany.

We missed out on going to an underground dope club, because I had to wrangle with the festival guest coordinator about getting a couple of extra nights in exchange for the added screening.  Fuck I hate to deal with this shit.  I can't wait until Leslie, My Name is Evil wins the Palme D'Or and then the executive floor will be open to me.
