Maybe the condensed size of the short made it slightly better than My Winnipeg. Guy Maddins “Heart of the World” is my favorite Maddin ever.

The interrogation was great "I don't know where... I don't know where.." and I liked the screaming one mostly when the director said "Dude" a lot. Out of this year so far thought I'd have to say Inside Out's trailers where they best - they interviewed their donors/members on various questions and then pulled them together. Entertaining, honest and funny as all get out. lol… over explainer can make for good conversation though :)

Years ago, TIFF was a lot better at this, even the politically incorrect "TRAILERS" featuring white trash types doing disgusting bodily things. Actually a couple years ago they had a series involving ordinary folks (private investigator, court stenographer, etc.) doing their jobs like intense movie dramas, those were pretty good. The VIFF ones rule. I fall into the categories of: a) Over Explainer b) Die Hard.

I can't even remember this years TIFF ones, isn't that say - it's less than a month ago! I'm totally the die hard, but I tend to go for egg salad over tuna ;) Wow, these are so awesome.

There was a great one where Booth killed Lincoln because he didn't shut up during the play.

It's been fun to have the flexibility of the pass holder to jump around from place to place. I'm enjoying myself even more than previous years!

I'm thinking of seeing both press and public screenings next year for the Edinburgh Film Fest, so I can effectively double the amount of movies I see.

Though I still bought a load of tickets this year, having a pass has also been pretty liberating because I've managed to squeeze in movies here and there. I'm not as much of a stickler about my schedule anymore - mostly because I know I don't have to worry about fighting for a spot in line. Pass holders get in first regardless of where they're standing! :) Every other year, I’ve purchased fist-fulls of tickets so the schedule was pretty much set in stone.

Espeically the part about sticking to the schedule you've made up; when I have to deviate from those even slightly I get worried I won't make it for the next arranged event:P Those are hilarious, I've never been to that festival and I've never seen those done for any others (there is probably all the time, I've just personally never came across them). The Overxplainer and the Foreign Film ones are the best, they are so true. That last one applies to me too, Marina.
