2015 MSPIFF

This will be my life during MSPIFF. Punch. Movies. Knitting.

Back once again with my list of films that I'd like to see. I'm excited because this year's program includes a whole program called Women and Film.  Thirty-five whole features including 27 directed by women. Now if only the film society would get their act together about the actual SCHEDULE of films...

In this part of the 21st century, descriptions are important and trailers are even more important. So click on the link and watch the trailer if you want.

Update: I've made my final schedule selections. A mostly correct list is here (thank you to the Film Society of Minneapolis and St. Paul for the mostly 21st century tech this year). I've *never* been this organized for MSPIFF before. As currently configured, I'm seeing 56 films from April 10-April 25; that's 3.5 films per day. Honestly I probably won't be able to make *all* of them (I never have). Because sleep. Film fatigue. Hearing bad things about films. Etc.

I'm particularly excited about:

52 Tuesdays
Accused
Antarctic Edge: 70° South
Beyond the Divide
Cuidad Delirio (This one looks like it includes a trans person of African descent)
Girlhood
The Golden Era
The Lesson
Margarita, With a Straw (Seriously, watch the trailer)
The Mask You Live In
Nena
Out in the Night
The Second Mother
The Summer of Sangaile (the trailer link on MSPIFF's website is wrong--here's the right link
)
Tales (I am swooning for this one)
Dukhtar (This should be in the Women in Film program and I don't understand why it's not): 4/10 7pm
