Faithful reader Mireille wrote in to give heads up about a French Film Festival taking place this weekend:
cIneMAGINE, Alberta’s French Film Festival, will be held at the Empress Theatre in Fort Macleod from April 30th – May 2nd, 2010.
While it’s no Iron Man 2, it sounds cool nonetheless!
Karla informed me that the ULFC is holding a 12-hour film marathon this Saturday. The goal of the marathon is to raise enough funds to grow their film library, so that members have access to all previously screened films.
We are asking participants to get themselves pledged to watch films! Asking family, friends or colleges to pledge you for the Film Marathon is all that we ask. We are giving away some great prizes for those who get the most pledges and who last the longest (it is 12 hours of film watching!). Prizes include: Gift Certificates from Backstreet (west), B.O.B Headquarters Swag, Infamous Swag, Gift Certificates from the Pita Pit, etc.
I guess that means I’ll need to break out the adult diapers and Cheetos, since I fully intend to win those gift certificates. You don’t believe me? Yeah, I suppose I wear them on a regular basis anyway, which reminds me I need a change. Mom!
The 3rd Annual Film Festival happens tonight. It’s a showcase of student films from the U of L as well as other universities from around Alberta.
Even my cousin will be screening her short film, of which I can’t remember the name but know it has something to do with an angel and demon falling in love. Kinda like Twilight, but without Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Well, it’s actually nothing like Twilight, but there are special effects!
Regardless, because of my short memory I already made other plans for tonight. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t attend! The show begins at 6:30PM at The Zoo/Ballroom.
I just got word from Karla that the University of Lethbridge Film Club has launched their website. I mentioned the ULFC last week, noting they offer free film screenings for not just students, but the public too. Check out their calendar to see what’s showing next and join the online discussion.
