FILM: When We Leave (Die Fremde), the Centerpiece film at the current Berlin and Beyond Film Festival, features a mother struggling with the old-fashioned values of her family upon returning home to Germany with her young son after leaving her oppressive marriage in Istanbul. Director-screenwriter Feo Aladag will be at tonight's screening.
7 p.m. // Castro Theatre (429 Castro St) // $13
MUSIC: Tonight's line-up at the Hemlock well suits the rainy day Sunday blues. The dark, fuzzy, shoegaze of Cellar Doors, the upbeat garage/power-pop of Chicago's The Safes, and the pleasingly countrified pop/rock of The Dead Westerns will further amplify your reverie.
