If I had my own film festival, I swear that...
* I wouldn't invite any stars. Fuck the red carpet.
* I wouldn't invite any directors to talk about their work. The work speaks for itself.
* There wouldn't be any parties. That's time I could be watching films.
* I wouldn't program any Canadian films unless I actually liked them. Less Can, more Con.
* All tickets for all screenings would cost five dollars. No galas or special screenings. If it costs five thousand won (five bucks) to see a film at PIFF, why should any one have to pay twenty dollars to see a movie at TIFF?
* There wouldn't be any midnight screenings. I don't want to see another zombie movie as long as I live.
* There would not be something for everyone.

there's some awesome stars, though!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mike:
ReplyDeletestars get way too much fucking attention
talking to director's only lessens the experience (unless it's a documentary)
save the parties for after the festival
Canadian films are usually garbage, kicking them out would make them try harder, ha ha
I didn't even know about those ticket prices, that's ridiculous
however, I think I could go for another zombie movie in my life. in another decade or 2
