Sydney Film Festival gets underway tomorrow night. As I described last year, it was a fun time going through the programme working out everything I wanted to see. Followed by working out a schedule that was actually achievable. Even though I managed to get my act together earlier this year, we found that some things were selling out faster so we had to make a few last minute changes. On the other hand, because one film had sold out, I was able to get into another film that a friend was responsible for which I had very sadly passed on…bad friend am I. They changed the android app this year and it wasn’t available initially, then it wasn’t working at all, and they finally got it stable last Friday. Has improved some and is running faster.

Looks like I’m only seeing 26 fillums this year – I must be getting old:

• 3 Faces
• An Elephant Sitting Still
• Ariel
• Bad Reputation
• Beautiful Things
• The Blood of Wolves
• The Breaker Upperers
• Chocolate Oyster
• Ex Libris – The New York Public Library
• Finke: There & Back
• Le Havre 
• Inland Sea
• Leave No Trace
• Leningrad Cowboys Go America
• Lights in the Dusk 
• The Man Without a Past
• The Match Factory Girl
• My 20th Century
• Oyster
• Pig
• The Prince of Nothingwood
• Strange Days
• Teach a Man to Fish
• Upgrade
• The Wife
• Wrath of Silence

Unbelievably, I’m not seeing any movies on the 14th! That night I’m going to a whisky tasting of new Australian whiskies :-)
