PIFF Guide

Although it is already the second day of PIFF for me (and third for the fest), I thought I would post my view list so people (if any are really reading) knew what to look out for or could ask questions about specific films. I have left the numbers and time and locations as well, in case anyone at PIFF currently somehow finds this and wants to hang out with me. For those of you not at PIFF “GV” means guest visit, either the director or some actors or the producer. Also right now the info is very basic, because I just want to throw them up. If I have some time later i will add things like the non-english title and runtimes and formats and such. Or I might do that when I write a little capsule about them. We will see. For now, help yourself to these bad boys:

Since I am new to the Film Fest scene (I have only been to one, PIFF in 06, and that was only for two days I was a little conservative with my picks, choosing mostly ones that had already gotten good press elsewhere (especially toronto) or where names I already knew (ruiz, garrel, etc…). Still I managed to squeeze in a few world premieres and some films I have very little knowledge about.
