Would-be robbers Sonny and Sal hold up a bank, with equal parts suspense, pathos and humor. Master filmmaker Sidney Lumet directs powerhouse Al Pacino in this tense, exuberant yet subtle film that garnered an Academy Award for this year’s Kanbar Award recipient, legendary screenwriter Frank Pierson, who will be interviewed onstage preceding the screening.

- Salvador
-
-
Oliver Stone’s rocket-paced examination of the war in 1980s El Salvador is a collision of drug-fueled journalism, visceral carnage and leftist politics, held together by a truly daring performance from James Woods. Every bit as relevant today as it was in 1986, Salvador screens as part of SFIFF54's Founder's Directing Award program, An Evening with Oliver Stone.

- Toby Dammit
-
-
Toby Dammit is a phantasmagoric masterpiece with a bewitching central performance by Terence Stamp. Darkly recapping many of the themes of La Dolce Vita (also showing at this year’s Festival), the film explores the absurdities of celebrity, with Fellini’s outlandish visual style perfectly complementing the overheated story and the incipient madness of the title character.
