Check out the Mission Film Festival, www.missionfilmfestival.ca Oct 1-3, which kicks off with a celebration of the legendary salmon return of 2010. You should try to stop by!

I was sad when VIFF ended last week. I showed up with my free pass for the last show and the only seats left were rush...all was not lost, I ended up having a really nice evening with a new friend . All weekend I was still craving good film though....

So I was thrilled this this morning when I heard about another film festival: Amnesty International is having its 11th annual film festival in Vancouver. They promise 22 films on important issues facing the global community, including several Canadian and Vancouver premieres and award-winning work by Canadian and foreign filmmakers.
