Film festivals also challenge your perceptions about other countries. check out, Best and Worst Times to Travel to Europe , Blessings In A Mother's Tears For example, who knew that the usually bleak Finns could produce a comedy similar to a "Kids in the Hall" sketch (On the Road to Emmaus) or that Swedish actresses had a sense of humor (Gossip)?

As with any festival, you start learning what's good from other ticket See, Finding a Great Hotel Deal! , Blessings In A Mother's Tears holders as the festival goes on. Films get to be known by a sort of shorthand. For instance, there was the "gay Rashomon" movie from the U.K. (Lawless Heart) and the "curling comedy" about the Olympic sport of Curling (Men With Brooms); or, you overhear people talking about a film "that movie freaked me out" and piece it together with what day it is and who's talking to come up with this: a piece of crap Japanese movie about evil screensavers chasing high school students and convincing parents to kill themselves in their washing machines (Uzumaki) coming soon to a late night theater near you. Not that I'm advocating this, but if you really insist on seeing this stupid, stupid movie, then take a great deal of pharmaceutical substances first. I don't know about you, but computer screensavers just don't seem all that threatening to me.
Of course, a film festival isn't only about films that you can see. SIFF is also full of filmmaker's forums, where you can go to learn about various aspects of the filmmaking industry, network with directors, screenwriters, or producers, and listen in on panel discussions about various states You may also consider, Oregon Ski Vacations , Majorca Luxury Villas- Enjoy Your Holidays in Majorca of the industry. Even if you don't take the time to attend a forum, you can get a taste of how a film came together, simply by hanging out at most films after the closing credits and listening to the director or star of a film take questions from the audience. If this is your focus, however, be sure to pay special attention to the program guide goto, Are There Such Things as Fairy Tale Castles? (Castle Coch Wales) , Beautiful Vancouver, City of the Sea & Mountains and see which films advertise that a guest will accompany the screening.

And how can you pass up a party where the drinks are free, the food is good, and you get to bump into the stars of the film or sit next to the guy who inspired the story of The Big Lebowski?
Now about those films: I saw 56 films in 25 days. Because of the way films are scheduled against each other, it isn't actually possible to see all the films in the festival. Most of the films were new, but the festival was also doing a retrospective of the last golden age in American See, South Africa , Cheap Cruises Essentials : 3 Pre-Trip Tips cinema (the 70s -- a local You may also consider, KEYS TO CONTENTMENT - CASA CONTENTA BED & BREAKFAST INN, CAB , Iggy's Holiday T-Shirt's theater was also showing 70s films as a festival sidebar), a tribute to cinematographer James Wong Howe, and its regular programming of archival films.
