Gimme Danger — VIFF

This film was a great surprise. It wasn’t surprising that it was a good movie, but that I personally would enjoy a film about Iggy Pop and The Stooges. This would be much more my husband’s genre of music (he picked it) but this documentary was well worth the watch.

Mother (Emma) VIFF

One of the many reasons I love VIFF films is all of the travel you can do . . . from your theatre seat. This was true of this film as I was able to visit Indonesia for the first time. Mother (Emma) successfully brings culture, religion, customs, food, landscape (and more!) up close and personal…

The Lockpicker (VIFF)

Wow, did I pick a great film to kick off my VIFF experience! Filmmaker Randall Okita (in photo above) does a fantastic job with The Lockpicker of showing us the teenage dilemma through the main character’s eyes. The cinematography, visuals, music, sounds . . . all envelop the audience as…

Snowden

This movie is a must see. I am sure we have all heard to some degree about this guy, Edward Snowden, from the U.S., who stole some classified documents, or was a whistleblower, or something like that. Well, see this movie and holy moley!! What he did was big, really big, and worth paying attention to.

Brooklyn

This is a great movie for hope and possibility that is available to all of us. Key component: set a goal and stick with it.

Brooklyn is a historical period drama set in the 1950’s about a young girl that sets off from Ireland to America in search of her dreams. The film highlights the…

Steve Jobs — the movie

I wish I hadn’t seen this movie by myself, because I really need to debrief with someone afterward to figure out what I saw.

It is possible that I am just completely overwhelmed with the intensity of this man. He was such a jerk. I guess I am disillusioned with…

VIFF 2015–34th Annual Film Festival

Film is a very important medium of artistic expression, entertainment, and for me most importantly — relevance. Just as a classrooms, books, art, music or lectures all provide learning and exposure to other cultures and ideas, equally does the wonder of film. When…
