Danielson: A Family Movie is a must see for any fan of adventurous music or artistic visionaries. You have two more chances to see it on tonight at 4:30pm at the Roxie and on 2/14 at 7pm.

We'd heard of the Danielson Famile throughout the last decade or so, but we'd never actually heard their music. We knew Jeff Buckley would urge people to go see them, we saw their crayoned album covers in Other Music, and we heard that many creative artists were influenced by them. But we went in to the screening of Danielson: A Family Movie hoping we would find out what all the fuss was about.

First, a quick note about Indiefest, which is truly indie. We arrived at the Women's Building right when the movie was scheduled to start (gotta love parking in the Mission!), only to be held up trying to receive our tickets from will call. After a confusing exchange with a man behind a card table who tried handing us the actual guest list instead of tickets, we ducked into the screening room, a large gymnasium-like space in which we'd previously taken a few dance classes. In the pitch black it was difficult to find a place to sit, but we settled in at the back of the room and adjusted our eyes just as the preceding short was ending.
