Everything I saw was fairly strong. There were a few weaker pieces, but still entertaining. My favorite was Fido, which we saw on Saturday night. Imagine Lassie...with domesticated zombies, only maybe they are not so domesticated as we think...shot in Kelowna, BC. Great color...70mm print. Great story too. It is a Lionsgate film so there is a strong chance of nationwide distribution. Look for it.
The documentaries were all strong, that I saw, at least. Born Again I mentioned before. We also saw In the Shadow of the Moon, which talked with most of the 24 astronauts who walked on the moon. Or at least flew there (Apollo 13). The King of Kong was about the world championship winner of Donkey Kong, and how this guy in Redmond, WA tried to defeat the highest score that was set in 1982, and the struggles he goes through to get his scores recognized. The one we saw after that was Air Guitar Nation, about the Air Guitar World Championships in Oulo, Finland in 2003. It was the first year there was a US representative. Both documentaries were very funny. Drop THIS on Iraq, and they'll leave us alone afterward.
There were a few shorts programs we saw, and too many films in all the programs combined to review. The Midnoght Shorts were stronger than they have been in past years, but I liked Shorts #3 best.
