Here’s one for the folks who wish that theaters would keep the reels rolling for as long as they’re willing to keep sitting there. Hours upon hours of national, international and local shorts, features, documentaries, filmmaker Q&As and more, all just waiting for you to plunk your butt down and take it all in. Plus, this year sees another presentation of the results of Sac Music Seen, a program where area musicians submit their tunes, get matched up with a filmmaker to create a music video and compete for a top prize. The festival runs through Sunday, September 24. 1515 J Street, 1211 K Street, www.sacfilm.com.
