Review from Lauren N.
10/2/2008
For all you film buffs, now is the time to take advantage of the Edmonton International Film Festival (EIFF) before it ends. The EIFF has been on since Sept. 26, and will continue until this Saturday, Oct. 4th.
If you're thinking its just a bunch of artsy fartsy movies that are simply cinematic metaphors, you're sadly missing out on a lot. These films are where the real talent lies, where you can watch meaningful scenes unfold before you. I just went to catch "Rachel Getting Married" starring Anne Hathaway tonight, and it was amazing. It's great to sit in a large theatre knowing you're sitting among people who appreciate films just as much as you do.
It's only on for three more days, so try to catch at least one film. The movies are being played at the Empire City Centre 9 and Metro Cinema downtown this year (Garneau and Princess theatres couldn't be used this year), and you can just purchase the tickets at the entrance like any other film.
The EIFF will also be hosting a closing night gala on their last day on Saturday, at Empire City Centre 9 Theatre. The last film starts at 7:30pm and the after-party begins at 9:30pm. Tickets for the closing gala are sold at Tix on the Square (at Sir Winston Churchill Square) until this Friday, Oct. 3rd at 6pm.Listed in: Culture Vultures
