Passive aggressive
Stephanie Courtney exudes open-mouthed charm in Bob Odenkirk’s Melvin Goes to Dinner.
The Sacramento Film and Music Festival integrates passive movie-watching with energetic live-rock performance. The upbeat music of Raigambre, Las Pesadillas and Call Me Ishmael ought to shake out any muscle soreness obtained while vegging in front of more than 30 films. Features include Melvin Goes to Dinner, directed by Mr. Show’s Bob Odenkirk; A Decade Under the Influence, a documentary on filmmaking in the 1970s featuring Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson; and a behind-the-scenes documentary on Gary Condit. Short pieces include local filmmaker Jonathan Morken’s claymation Cessation Resolution Nouvelle and The Lord of the Rings star Sean Astin’s The Long and Short of It. The festival begins at 7 p.m. on Friday and at 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $8.50 per program or $35 for the weekend. Settle in at the Crest Theatre, 1013 K Street.

Most galleries close for August. Not Exploding Head, though, which has a good two-person show up through the month.
