Ruan Ling-yu, Mike Watts and Don Letts

For those of who can't get enough of Chinese actress Ruan Ling-yu--or who would like to get caught up on her work--"The Goddess" (1934) airs tonight on KCTS (channel 9) at 10pm. I'll be setting the VCR for sure.

Meanwhile, "The Peach Girl" (1931), starring Ruan Ling-yu and featuring live musical accompaniment by Donald Sosin, screens at the Egyptian on Sat., 5/28, at 3:45pm. This is a one-time only screening.

Also, it isn't a SIFF film, but the Minutemen documentary "We Jam Econo" opens at the NWFF this evening at 7pm. Producer Keith Schieron is scheduled to attend both the Friday and Saturday screenings. I think it would make a particularly nice teaser for Don Letts's "Punk: Attitude," which screens tonight at 9pm at the Broadway Performance Hall.
