SFIFF59 Closing Night: The Bandit
After two weeks of remarkable world and independent cinema, the Festival will close with a new documentary from Bay Area filmmaker Jesse Moss.
An exuberant, surprisingly moving romp through 1970s pop culture, The Bandit celebrates the friendship between superstar actor Burt Reynolds and stuntman-turned-director Hal Needham, as together they create the Southern-fried classic Smokey and the Bandit. Director Jesse Moss (The Overnighters SFIFF 2014) brings great warmth and impossibly retro cool archival footage to this exceptional dual biography.
