[unintelligible] >> what i understood the motion to beat is to take this item -- the commissioner is just trying to hedge and -- agendizing it. >> commissioner slaughter, that is not my intention. my intention is that we have an honest and open discussion. rather than keep going, i suggest we continue this discussion next week. >> i would like to add, if i may. think you all for your input. i understand totally where you're coming from the. of the point in terms of getting all the appropriate stakeholders' on board. it is ambitious. maybe it doesn't happen. but it gets as focused so that

by the next time around, we're there. it might take a lot of time. and the other hand, i feel much more optimistic about this. as to commissioner dejesus, the reason why it has not been framed in that fashion, up until now, it has been in exploratory meetings to get some ideas on what they think could make the system better. it is not just that. even though it started there. that is one solution that seems to be pointing in that direction i know it took you by surprise. when i further talk with the

city attorney about the deadlines, it became very apparent that if we did not take this head on and trouble with that, that we needed to do that. i would just like to add one more thing. that is that we adhere a couple of discussions. a critical part of this needs to be discussed in closed session. i propose that we have part of the discussion in open session and the necessary part scheduled for an agenda item. >> attempts like this have happened before. that is why i know that we have never actually discussed this at

the commission meeting. we have studied the department, we have never actually had a discussion or studied the disciplinary process. i would like to have a discussion openly here. i don't mind people talking to other people, but we have not had it here. that is what i am trying to do. however you want to legendize -- agendize it. the point is, i just want to have the discussion. >> can we agendize it for both open and closed? >> i will talk to commissioner mazzucco. >> are we at agendizing for next week?

commissioner marshall: we are at commission reports that will lead us to d. we will get there. it will be there in some form in a way that maximizes discussion. let's go to item d. >> scheduling of items for future commission meetings. commissioner marshall: we have one? another one? >> we are going to meet with the human rights commission at some point. commissioner marshall: where were we? >> may 4. the human rights commission had their meeting and asked if we could do it may 11. commissioner marshall: what is

here for may 11? nothing? >> i will not be here, and i wish to be part of the conversation. commissioner marshall: anybody else? commissioner hammer? commissioner hammer: i will ask that we put it in item four, the current disciplinaryin the coure conversations, we set out to clean this up with some of the ideas that have come forward in our discussions. we can agendize for next week optimistically. we will be trying to go over it with the other parties.

>> you are keeping score for next week? when we get overloaded, say something? >> it is the same issue essentially. item four will be continued until next week. they are the same thing. it is up to the president. >> commissioner marshall, at some point not next week and not necessarily until we have a new police chief, i think we should get community policing on the agenda in terms of where the commission is act and the department -- is at and the department and talk about this issue.

>> public comments on item three. hearing none, thank you. we do? i am sorry. we have a public comment on item three. >> commissioners, it is not clear to me exactly what we are doing. regarding crime statistics, i would like to weigh in in favor of using a community policing model. i think people in this town have shown a desire to have more bottom up a neighborhood responsibility instead of it being made according to some computer model. can i ask you if you have any comment? >> you cannot do a anq and a.

>> you cannot do that? and do you know who makes those rules? >> we could have a response. at this hour, we may not have a response immediately. >> i would like to encourage more community policing. that is their bread and butter, what they are set up to do at a much lower cost. i think that should be taken under consideration. thank you. >> thanks. thanks for coming. item nine please. are we going -- >> are we going to pass on four? >> item 10. >> four is continued until next week. >> item 10 is an adjournment. >> so moved. >> the meeting is adjourned.

>> welcome to culture wire. the city rolls of the red carpet to host the international film festival.

the actors, directors, and others in among luminaries around the globe. we will get a sneak peek of this year's exciting program. >> welcome to "culture wire." in april, the 50 forces and francisco international film festival will be taking place. joining me to talk about the programming is the director of programming for the san francisco film festival. rachel, welcome to "culture wire." i look forward to this every year. my first question is, what will be the opening night film?

>> we have a terrific film for opening night. it is called a beginners and as an american independent film that stars ewan mcgregor and christopher plumber. >> what kind of music is that? >> house music. >> it is a hard to describe story with a lot of humor and heart. >> what are the other highlights? >> there are so many great films. it is hard to pick out the favorites. we have over 200 films and the festival. we have some other wonderful american independent films like the centerpiece premier that stars john c. reilly.

including the closing nine film that really shows the crossroads of internationalism that the festival. >> it is not just about the two weeks of the festival. you guys also run really fascinating programs for the bay area. >> really don't stopped screening films. we have a series of festivals in the fall for the fall season. and we often do week-long runs at theaters around the bay area so that people who want to see the kind of films that we show at the festival can see them all year long. and we have a wonderful filmmaker services department. we can provide fiscal sponsorship and a lot of great advice. finally, we have a really

robust education department. people that want to learn about filmmaking can take some of our fantastic glasses. >> one of the things that impresses me about the film festival is sort of the impact that it has. i know you guys are the longest running film festival in the americas. >> it was always a great festival for the city of san francisco, so our constituents are the people of san francisco. we want to do what we can to reach out to as many kinds of populations as we can. one way we do that is by bringing in guests. that is one of the things that makes a festival exciting. not only do get to see films that you might not otherwise see, but you can meet a director or an actor and hear about their prospective making the film.

the one thing that i always like to tell people who have never been to a film festival before is that it can sometimes seem daunting from the outside because he will pick up the program guide and it has 100 name movies and seems a bit hard to navigate in the beginning. but it is really worth it as you know from coming. the atmosphere in december, the interaction with other guests, the films themselves make it a great couple of weeks. >> it is important to participate and take advantage of this treasure trove of films from how many countries? >> is usually between 40 and 50 countries. >> it is an impressive range of filmmakers and the national perspectives that gets

represented in the film festival. thank you for bringing this festival to san francisco every year.
