Lunch Discussion at 11:30 at the Bear Tooth:
"Guest speakers include: Tony Sheppard, AIFF founder; Ron Holmstrom, regional Screen Actors Guild Feature representative; Jerry Levine, producer, director and president of Connections Doc Film and Video; and other guests representing various groups who’ve been involved with 'Film in Alaska.'”This event doesn't conflict with any other event - except maybe your life.
The rest, I can only mention the films I've seen and I leave the rest for you to choose for yourself. The links should help.
Eskimo Star - I saw a short portion of this a couple of years ago, if I remember correctly. And I also knew Ted Mala the son of Ray back when I first got to Alaska in the late 70s. Again, it doesn't conflict with any other events and what I saw before fills lots of Alaska and Hollywood history gaps.
Recommendations:
Some of my favorite shorts will play at the Martini Matinee at 3:30 at the Inlet Towers: Animation Hotline* - one of the few animated films that had both great original visuals AND meaningful content.
Reel Life - a great filmic comment on film reality
The Words I Love - learning language is a great interest of mine and it's told in it own original way (I'd note that the film maker, 'Benz' Thamachart Siripatrachai, is staying with us.)
Mr. Super Juice* - won me over with its irreverence, it pulls no punches (or juices)
Coffee Time - This one is so unexpected. I won't say anything about it, except to say it's delightful. Not for children.
*also playing at 7:30 in the Animation Program. Three others I really liked in that program:
The Rose of Turaida - a beautiful and original animation style tells a Latvian legend.
Lost and Found - visually beautiful adaption of a children's book.based on Oliver Jeffers' award winning children's picture book
Mr Hublot - Magnificent visuals.
The Guide - I also found this short from the Biology Gone Wild Docs Program definitely worth a view - an African young man wants to be a tour guide in Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park. That's already a pretty good story, but it gets additional power by the appearance of an intellectual hero of mine - biologist E. O. Wilson - and his relationship with the young guide. 7pm
There are just too many movies. And too many of them overlapping. I can tell you I really liked the ones mentioned above, but you might not. Just jump in and pick something.
