Picking up the Guide

Well, tomorrow is the day the festival guide comes out. Going to pick it up, then meet a friend a try to decide what films to see this year. Last year we seemed to see a preponderance of Asian films. This year, we've decided to try to spread our films across genres and countries. My friend wants to see an animated film, a documentary, a drama, a comedy, etc., while I want to see something Canadian, something French-Canadian, something English, something French, something Scandanvian, and something Asian. And probably something South African since that's the theme this year. And maybe something based strictly on its picture in the festival guide. I remember two pictures distinctly from last year's guide: one for the Story of the Weeping Camel, and one for a Turkish film that had an incredibily sharp picture. Didn't end up seeing either one, though; maybe we'll take a chance this year. :-)
