The 53rd San Francisco International Film Festival, opening tonight (Thurs., April 22), puts an unexpected emphasis on live stage shows, and provides its usual array of world premieres and celebrity tributes.

Like birds changing direction in mid-air
It will take more viewings to assess just how great Possokhov's new ballet Classical Symphony, which had its world premiere last Friday night at the Opera House, actually is, but a) that piece is built to last, and b) the excitement it generated in that building that night, to see classical dancers doing ballet like parkours leaping into trees and over walls, or extreme-skateboarders turning 720s in pipelines, made me feel that this is a big moment.
