Were 25 days just not enough to see everything you wanted at SIFF? Don’t stress–this weekend you have several chances to catch those films you missed or repeat view one you really liked.

SIFF Cinema gets the ball rolling with their “Best of SIFF ‘09″ event this weekend. Friday night check out Jury Documentary Award winner talhotblond, a movie several people told me inspired them to think very seriously about their own online behavior. Hopefully none of them get caught in a murderous online love triangle. Also screening Friday night are zany French spy spoof OSS 117: Lost in Rio and locally made Humpday.

Saturday brings The Family Picture Show, New Director Award winner The Other Bank, Rembrandt’s j’Accuse, Shrink and Black Dynamite, an affectionate modern take on “blaxploitation” films that won the Golden Space Needle for Best Film and was promptly followed by one of the most charming acceptance speeches ever.

Sunday see Best of SIFF shorts, Golden Space Needle Best Documentary The Cove, folksy mockumentary Morris: A Life With Bells On, sweetly silly Swimsuit Issue (one of my festival faves) and close out the weekend with offbeat sci fi comedy Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle, another local production.

The Egyptian gives you another opportunity to ponder Food, Inc. , a look at the bad practices of the food industry and what you can do to improve your own food choices.

Every Little Step, at the Harvard Exit, is a documentary about the creation of Broadway musical hit A Chorus Line and the casting process for the 2006 revival, a must-see for serious musical theater fans.

Also at the Harvard Exit: Tetro, Francis Ford Coppola’s new drama about shaking the family tree that just made its North American debut at SIFF last week. His first original screenplay since 1974, Tetro’s tale is fictional but loosely based on Coppola’s feelings about his own youth.

Seven Gables has Departures, Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Film and the moving and sometimes funny story of Japanese concert violinist who goes to work as a “Nokanshi”, the person who prepares bodies for burial.

Films that didn’t play the festival are also on the big screen this weekend:

Grand Illusion screens A Night at the Opera, the best of the Marx Brothers movies. A lovelorn opera singer wants the chance both to prove himself worthy of the stage and to be with his true love. His self-appointed agent and his dresser want to come with him to America. A smooth-talking ladies man wants to help them achieve their dreams and make some cash for himself. Entwined in the tangled storylines are some of the funniest sight gags and clever repartee put to film.

NWFF returns to their Spirit of ‘69 series with My Night at Maud’s, Eric Rohmer’s film about a pious Catholic engineer in his early thirties who faces a challenge to his rigid ethical standards when he unwittingly spends the night at the apartment of a beautiful divorcée.
