Feb. 19--This week filmgoers have the choice of tributes to two film legends, one who is very much with us and one who is gone. Or you could see them both.
Alive and kicking is independent film maestro John Sayles, who is going to have an in-person tribute at Cinefamily at 611 N. Fairfax Ave. in Los Angeles.
Screening Friday is "The Brother From Another Planet" (with Sayles in attendance) and "Piranha" with producer Roger Corman appearing. On Saturday there will be an afternoon screening of "City of Hope," with Sayles talking, and "Lianna" and "Baby It's You" in the evening.
For those with more classic Hollywood tastes, Turner Classic Movies and Fathom Events are combining for big-screen showings of Humphrey Bogart in "The Maltese Falcon" at 2 p.m. Sunday and 7 p.m. Wednesday. More information at www.fathomevents.com.
