Today's schedule

2 p.m. — "Kamataki"

4:45 p.m. — "Maxed Out": There's material for a dozen documentaries in Seattle native James Scurlock's film, a simultaneously entertaining and chilling examination of consumer debt in America. An assortment of characters flit across the screen: two mothers whose college-age children killed themselves out of despair over credit-card debt; a pair of cheerful entrepreneurs busily getting rich by buying other people's debt; a born-again financial guru who once lost $4 million; a real-estate agent who matter-of-factly notes that she can't afford her own McMansion; and Robin "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" Leach, just because. Some get short shrift, but the film is consistently fascinating. 85 minutes. James Scurlock is scheduled to attend. (Moira Macdonald)

7 p.m. — "What Remains": Steven Cantor's reverent documentary about photographer Sally Mann explores her process; it's like sitting down with Mann for a chat about making art. Her work's progression — from photographs of her children in "Immediate Family" (they stare at the camera, as if challenging it) to later work in landscapes and her current interest in themes of decay — is meticulously documented, but the film seems to need a few more voices. Questions are raised (why, exactly, was her latest show canceled?) and not answered; nonetheless, Mann's almost eerie work intrigues. 80 minutes. (M.M.)

9:15 p.m. — "The Power of Nightmares; The Rise of the Politics of Fear" (very few tickets left).

4:30 p.m. — "Linda Linda Linda"

7 p.m. — "Who Killed the Electric Car?": Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, Phyllis Diller, Peter Horton and many others discuss their mostly happy experiences with General Motors' pollution-free electric cars, which were not just shelved but rounded up and destroyed by GM a few years ago (Toyota had a similar policy). Spin doctors try to make sense of this seemingly suicidal program, but writer-director Chris Paine focuses on the enthusiasm of the cars' promoters and drivers, who are largely dumbfounded that their favorite automobiles were taken from them. The result may be the most troubling big-biz documentary since "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room." 91 minutes. Chris Paine is scheduled to attend. (John Hartl)

9:30 p.m. — "Four Stars"

Midnight — "Another Gay Movie": Director Todd Stevens is scheduled to attend.

4 p.m. — "Roots"

6:30 p.m. — "A Side, B Side, Seaside"

4:30 p.m. — "Not Here to be Loved"

7 p.m. — "Every Other Week": The story behind this Swedish comedy is almost more interesting than the film itself: it's made by four screenwriter/directors — by committee, you might say. The result is a somewhat scattershot but often very funny tale of two brothers coping with divorce, single parenthood and on-and-off-again exes. Mans and Felix Herngren, two of the filmmakers, play the brothers — one longhaired and laid-back, one more uptight — with effortless chemistry. Snappily paced and enjoyable, particularly the mock ads that punctuate the story (including some products that Ikea might well wish to market). 97 minutes. (M.M.)

9:30 p.m. — "Dreamland": Director Jason Matzner is scheduled to attend.

4:30 p.m. — "VishwaThulasi"

7 p.m. — "Leonard Cohen I'm Your Man"

9:30 p.m. — "Seven Swords"

2 p.m. — "George Michael — A Different Story"

4:15 p.m. — "Be With Me"

6:45 p.m. — "The Iceberg": What would you do if you were locked overnight in a freezer, and your husband and children took no notice? Fiona, the hapless heroine of this daffy Belgian comedy, chooses to run away. She lands on a small boat named "Le Titanique," captained by a traumatized deaf man and clearly due for a date with floating ice. Reminiscent of Jacques Tati's "Mr. Hulot" comedies, which also used little dialogue to emphasize their sight gags, "The Iceberg" sometimes goes to absurd extremes (a toast-buttering episode is way over the top), but it's often laugh-out-loud funny. 84 minutes. (J.H.)

9:15 p.m. — "Brothers of the Head": This unique British film at first suggests a "Spinal Tap"-style mockumentary, but it quickly turns melancholy as it explores a might-have-been punk-rock universe where conjoined twins are groomed to become mid-1970s celebrities. They're splendidly played by real-life twins Luke and Harry Treadway, who create an uncanny sense of emotional self-sufficiency — until a female journalist falls for one of them. Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe, co-directors of "Lost in La Mancha," based their script on a novella by Brian Aldiss. Scheduled to attend the festival screenings, Fulton worked here in the late 1980s at the Seattle Art Museum and the Foster White Gallery. 93 minutes. (J.H.)
