Friday Night
Though this is a bit late in coming, the Winnipeg International Film Festival finally posted its program. Our short film, 'On a Sunday,' screens this Friday night, June 10th, at 7:00 pm at the Ramada Theater, (formerly the Garrick) 330 Garry St. Your $4.99 admission entitles you to stay for the feature, Pearl Diver, which sounds like an interesting film. Official Pearl Diver synopsis, (from the WIFF website): 'The twenty-year old murder of their mother continues to haunt two sisters, when an accident on the Mennonite farm brings past and present, and the sisters' opposing worldviews, into conflict.'
Though I haven't seen it, 'Pearl Diver' sounds like a very fitting film to follow 'On a Sunday.' And it's encouraging to see that the WIFF programmers are screening shorts before features, a practice that has disappeared in recent decades, but which many programmers and filmmakers are working to resurrect. Wouldn't it be nice to be rewarded for your timely arrival at the theatre with a short-but-sweet film instead of being bombarded by the same barrage of inane commercials that plague us every other moment of our waking lives?
