AFI Fest starts tonight…
Last night I went to pick up my badge for AFI Fest. This year they’ve got a rooftop village on top of the parking garage at Arclight. Pretty cool. Really looking forward to the films this year. I’ve highlighted about 25 films I’d really like to see. I’ll report back with how I do on that.
I have only seen one of the documentaries in competition so I have my work cut out for me. I will try and see them all. There are 12 in competition plus a couple of special screenings, 2 in the Latin Cinema Series, 1 in the European Showcase and 1 in Made in Germany. That’s 18 docs in 10 days (and I may have missed something in the catalog I am still studying it). Plus they are having a Midnight Music Doc Series.
I’ll try and write every day during the festival. I’ll need support so I don’t burn out. See you there!
