The following article is from the San Francisco
Bay REVIEW Sorry, fans of Alive and The Thing! the Frozen Film Festival
doesn't include icebound flicks. Instead, the name derives from San Francisco's
rep for having the chilliest summers around, and the programming actually
encompasses a wide range of indie selections. And chances are it'll be
right cozy in the Roxie Film Center during two of the fest's standout
docs, both of which have Bay Area interest: Pray for Me: The Jason Jessee
Film (July 13, 9 p.m.) and Get Thrashed: The Story of Thrash Metal (July
14, 10:10 p.m.). Former pro skateboarder Jessee; also a motorcyclist,
gun enthusiast, low rider, artist, and conspiracy theorist; made headlines
last year when he was booted from a flight in San Jose for carrying a
book with "suicide bomber" written on it. Pray for
Me, a cleverly edited, punk rock–infused portrait by Steve Nemsick
and David Rogerson, spends time looking back at Jessee's stellar skate
career, but it's mostly a study of a man whose singular personality has
driven his singular; for better and worse; life. Similar in structure
to the recent American Hardcore and Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, MTV
producer Rick Ernst's Get Thrashed takes a chapter-by-chapter look at
music's most delightfully brutal genre, with concert footage, still photos,
and talking head recollections from an array of groups, including local
notables Death Angel and Exodus. Favorite quote, from the late Paul Baloff,
former Exodus singer: "Metal rules, and if you don't like it Article URL: http://www.sfbg.com/entry.php?entry_id=4046 SAN FRANCISCO FROZEN FILM FESTIVAL Thurs/12–Sun/15, $8.50–$9.50.
