Last year's SFIFF Centerpiece film was Backstage (French site) which recently came out on DVD. Isild Le Besco (French site) played a teenager obsessed with a Madonna-like singer who has the chance to meet her through an MTV style reality show.
This year's Centerpiece film, Delirious (French site even though it is not a French film), explores some similar themes. Steve Buscemi plays a photographer obsessed with getting the celebrity "shot heard 'round the world." It was directed by Tom DiCillio who also made Living in Oblivion (amazingly, the 1995 website is still online). Delirious screens tonight at the Kabuki at 7 pm. It is sold out, but there will be rush tickets if you get there early enough. If you see it when it is released theatrically, make sure you stay until the end of the credits.
Isild Le Besco gives an even better performance in a film at this year's festival, A Parting Shot, which screens tonight at 7 pm at the Clay, and at the Kabuki on Monday at 1:30 pm, Tuesday at 6:30 pm, and Thursday at 4:30 pm.
