Had to be a bit strategic this year with how I fit everything into the schedule; frontloaded the interactive program considering there was some work-related stuff and had to consider a few colleagues who joined me, then catching up on all the films in the second half of the festival once I had some time to myself. By then, it was already challenging trying to start and fit a lot of the films in and had to really let go of a few I really wanted to check out – hopefully they’ll get showings or distribution locally or online.
Deep Web
Sad tale of the arrest of the guy behind the Silk Road – similar in vein to the Internet’s Own Boy, but probably not as noble…
Twinsters
Cute recount of a American-Korean girl finding and connecting with her separated-at-birth twin sister. Nice fluff piece, and great for the younger generation.
Barge
Following the nuances and tales of a barge crew – beautifully shot and extremely intimate.
All Things Must Pass (AKA the Tower Records Documentary)
Trailer isn’t available – solid recount of the rise and fall of Tower Records. Can see where Australia’s JB Hi-Fi came from…
For the Record
Stenotyping. That is all.
Rolling Papers
Following the legalisation of marijuana in Colorado, The Denver Post launches the first editor dedicated to the subject matter.
Plasmo and the Infinite Sadness
