The 24th Vancouver Film Festival is just around the corner again. Prepare to watch a lot of movies from around the world, for some of them, this is the only chance to watch them.
This year there is a new Theater and at the Vancouver Film Centre as well as interesting films like
Isabella Rosellini's new short film called "my 100 years old dad", the Opening Gala will be the film Water directed by Deepa Mehta.
Closing Gala, Winner of this year's Cannes film Festival: L'enfant
From Mexico comes an outstanding documentary called Tropico de Cancer
Skritek, a checoslovaquian hiralious part comedy part grotesque
among others.
this year, VIFF is focused on reflection about "no film is completely foreign".
about this thought Brent Wheller, Creative Director, remarks:
"Some people are reluctant to watch foreign films because they assume they won't relate. These trailers erode that barrier... In reality, foregin films deal with universal themes and stories -we all felt lonely, we all have to deal with stress, and we all tendo to find the same things funny".
the 24th Vancouver Film Festival will be held September 29 - October 14 2005.
