AIFF 2013: What To Do Saturday? Start With Animation At Noon

Below is a list of the Saturday Schedule from the Festival Website.  

I'm going to start with Animation at noon.  All the animated films in competition are in this program.  (Almost all the animation are in this program.)  Not as many animated films as previous years, it seems, but I didn't go back and count.

I might stick my head in at the beginning of the environmental docs - the first one, Backyard, is in competition.  Then to the shorts program - three are in competition - Jonah, Life, and Separation Sonnet. 



Not sure what I'll do next.  McConkey should be an interesting film - about an extreme skier who pushed the limits too far eventually - at the Bear Tooth.  But Mine Games plays at 9:45pm at the Alaska Experience Theater.  I interviewed the film maker last night after Icebound, and I'm inclined to go there.  (I'll link to the video as soon as I get it up.) 

But I've found that at the festival, things happen, and I end up seeing films I hadn't expected to see. Don't get too hung up on your plan. 

√ means it's in competition
* means film maker scheduled to be there
