Fall in the Bay Area means two things: unpredictable weather and film festivals. Mill Valley just finished (more on that later) and DocFest is in full swing. I have been at one or the other film festival more nights than I’ve been at home, and this won’t slow down anytime soon.

In case you’re interested in joining me, here are my picks for DocFest:

- Back to the Garden (Sunday 10/23 at the Roxie)
- Being Elmo (Saturday 10/22 and Tuesday 10/25 at the Roxie)
- Circus Dreams (Saturday 10/22 and Wednesday 10/26 at the Roxie)
- Donor Unknown (Tonight 10/20 at the Shattuck)
- First Position (Tomorrow 10/21 and Thursday 10/27 at the Roxie)
- How to Start a Revolution (Sunday 10/23 at the Roxie)
- Peep Culture (Saturday 10/22 and Wednesday 10/26 at the Roxie)
- Unlikely Treasures (Tonight 10/20 at the Roxie)
- The Woodmans (Saturday 10/22 at the Roxie)

And don’t forget the parties! The roller derby costume party on Saturday night and the San Francisco closing party is on Thursday 10/27.
