Eoghann Irving I'm curious. How many of you enjoy watching old black and white movies? I've noticed that amongst my peers there's a tendency only to watch movies from the late 70's (or sometimes 80's) and onwards. I suspect this is relates to the age of the people and what movies they grew up watching.

Korea); Enter the Void. Egoyan is now making a film about the kids from the Paradise Lost documentaries, a feature apparently not another documentary (there's a third one of those already out). Could be interesting. Also looking forward to Wim Wenders documentary about Pina Bausch (in 3-D no less).

Ben I thought this was interesting advice from an interview with the former Disney CEO: "When my son wanted to go to undergraduate film school, I called George Lucas, who told him: Don’t go. Learning to make a movie is like learning to drive. Anybody can learn to drive. It’s where you drive that counts."

Except, that it seems rather scary, a bit unnerving, and also intriguing as to (the beginnings) of just how truly weird online social networking can be.

Example: I got a Facebook Friend Request the other day; the person had no photo or avatar; they only had one other friend listed; and they never sent me a message, when I requested more information, just posted a profile shot which (I'm sure) was a filched identity, just like the personal information. Conclusion? Run away!!

No it's not TIFF, I just got a great rate from a cinema and since I'm already looking at an indie music video film fest I think it would be great if we could get some feature length filmmakers some shine. Details to follow but get at me before hand for any questions you might have.
