ReelFemme

Went to ReelFemme - Best of Herland Feminist Film Festival at FAVA curated by Collette Slevinsky. It was great - glad I went.
Showing were: Breasts: What About Them? I tried finding links but couldn't for most of the short films - too bad they don't have a web presence. It was a nice evening with a full house and lucky me I won the door prize - a yummy looking Chilean cabernet sauvignon. Hopefully there was enough interest that a local feminist film festival will happen. The best for last: I picked up a pamphlet for the herland In: Camera Workshop. It's a 10-day workshop in Calgary on video production skills. I would love to go. The deadline is January 5 and to apply I would have to submit a letter of intent, resume with relevant experience (though no prior experience is necessary) and a one-page concept for a 3-5 minute video. So my mind hasn't stopped churning. I know that whatever I do it will probably not be a comedy (I am too serious for that and wouldn't be able to pull it off), it probably won't be sexual in nature. It will most likely be a documentary. Hmmm, here are some of the ideas that I am thinking of:

Underworld
 We went to see Underworld last night at the movie cinema with M's cousin from Denver and his wife. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It's an action flick about vampires and werewolves with a strong female protagonist. Kind of like the Matrix effects and visuals meet Blade. There were enough twists in the plot to keep it interesting, the gory bits weren't too gory and the characters were believable and mostly well-played. There were though too many gunfire scenes which were gratuitous and monotonous. But I enjoyed it and would recommend it as a good escape for a couple of hours. I left the theatre speculating at what might happen in Underworld 2, which is probably a good sign.

Went to see the film "Bend It Like Beckham" it was a great movie. I highly recommend it. It's a good story, light, funny and a bit of a tear-jerker as well. Lifted my spirits.
Did I mention that it is spring and the birds have spring fever... they are so noisy it is driving us both a little crazy. The squeaks and squawks have been pretty much constant. |  Gogoi

TGIF
Here are a couple of shows that I found out about today that I want to catch.
And just when I thought that the Alberta cowboy image was losing momentum. Guess it does make sense as an alternative to a gas-guzzling SUV.
