going throught the guide: Andrew Bird: Fever Year ; Canadian Images short films (you get to see the filmmakers in the crowd) ; The Artist; Cinema of our Time (more shorts – want to see Bike Race) ; ‘
One year I had a VIP pass (not worth the bucks). I found that the Granville theatre had huge lineups. My tip is that you could pick up tickets at lunchtime, then see the show later that night. The paper guide is worth the expense. The Gala is a fun party and worth seeing once. The VISA gold tickets would be worth it – they treat the Visa Gold people better than the higher paying ‘VIP’ tickets. so, totally get a Gala ticket and check out the party. If I were to pick a Gala show, I’d go with Starbuck. I also liked the short films.. you see a bunch of short films in the time it takes to see a movie, so you’re guaranteed to see something good.
My friend most wants to see:
The Turin Horse http://filmguide.viff.org/tixSYS/2011/xslguide/eventnote?notepg=1&EventNumber=0462&
because he likes the director and has heard good things about the film, but warns that most people would find it interminably long and boring. I think I’d like to see it, though, after reading the description.
Others he thinks are interesting:
