5 things for which I was grateful on Saturday, October 10, 2009 1 month ago

1. Waking up when I woke up without needing an alarm (because it’s the weekend).
2. Having a nice cup of freshly-brewed coffee in the morning.
3. Going down to the Wolfville Farmers’ Market with my son in the rain.
4. Having some delicious pakoras and samosas for lunch.
5. Getting my hair cut. It’s the first time that my hair wasn’t cut by my mom (who is a hairdresser).

10 days and 101 films 1 month ago

I didn’t initially intend to break the 100 film mark, but in the course of watching films as being part of the Canadian Jury, I watched very many and that started a momentum that continued as I sailed past 100 films last night.
It is such a great festival and there is a very friendly, casual vibe to the event that is wonderful.
This year I’ve seen 30 feature films and 71 shorts and I’m not sure if I will beat that mark for a while. A little bit overwhelming, but strangely addictive. The only downside is that I didn’t get to spend as much time with friends as I would have liked.
The only things left now are the awards ceremony in an hour followed by the closing film and closing party and then some sleep and I return to my regular, less film-saturated life for another year.

The 29th Annual Atlantic Film Festival 2 months ago

I’m deeply immersed in the 29th edition of the Atlantic Film Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This year I am honoured to be one of the members of the Canadian jury, so I’m watching all of the Canadian Feature dramas and shorts, which is about 25 feature films and a few more shorts, so I will easily exceed my goal before I finish my jury duty.
As I write this on Day 3 of the festival I’ve seen 19 feature films and later tonight I’ll see a couple more, so I will be almost at the halfway point for this goal.
I love the festival, the films and the socializing that accompanies it. This is my favourite time of the year. What could be better than watching and talking about films for a week and a half?
