We've come to the end of another week, and with it comes the end of Hitchcock fest at the Stanford Theatre as well as a two week break from Terror Tuesday and Weird Wednesday at the Alamo in order to dedicate more time to the 59th San Francisco International Film Festival! There are a lot of interesting and awesome movies in this festival's programming, and you can check out which movies are playing this weekend below.
