SpIFF 2015: Walkabouts and vampires

And so we approach the penultimate day of the Spokane International Film Festival. And we move from the Magic Lantern, where tickets were hard to come by, back to the Bing Crosby Theater — where tickets are almost always easy to score.

Oh, and a late-night screening at the Garland, where seats are almost as available.

Finally, don't forget the Closing-Night Party and Awards Announcement, which will be held at the Bing following the second feature.

Tonight's SpIFF schedule is as follows:

5:30, "Miss Hill: Making Dance Matter" (1:14): Martha Hill was an early proponent of dance, an influential instructor who helped shape dance for the 20th century. Hosted by Marianna di Lorenzo of Simply Dance Studio.

8 p.m., "Charlie's Country" (1:48): Dutch filmmaker Rolf de Heer directed this look at an Aborigine fella who, chafing against Australian law, heads to the Outback to live life as he wants. Lessons will be learned. Hosted by SpIFF programmer Vaughn Overlie.

11:55 p.m., "Girl Walks Alone at Night" (1:39), preceded by the short film "People in the Trees": Shot in black and white, Iran-American filmmaker Lily Amirpour's film is a haunting look at a village preyed upon by a lonely vampire. Hosted by Adam Boyd, a SpIFF programmer and lecturer at Eastern Washington University. "People in the Trees" director Jonah Vigil is expected to attend.
