The University of Colorado's IFS fall series is coming to a close this week, but I think we have had a great run so far. We have had a lot of customers and a lot of good films. This week will come to a close with some great movies, BLINDSIGHT (Tonight, 7PM and 9PM), WENDY AND LUCY (Friday, Nov. 14, 7PM), NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD (Nov. 14, 9PM), LORD GOD BIRD (Sunday, Nov. 16, 7PM) and IDIOTS AND ANGELS (Nov. 16, 9PM) , all playing in Muenzinger Auditorium.
Remember our next series begins in the Spring semester, so look for our new schedule due out in January.
What would you like to see next semester? What was your favorite part of the Fall series? Please let us know by leaving a comment. Thanks!
I'd like to see more animated films, maybe even a horror film or two. IFS tends to be a bit heavy on the documentaries. It'd be nice to see some of the "mainstream" independents that come out of the Toronto film festival, Cannes, etc. Here's a short list of stuff on my list to see:
ReplyDeleteSynecdoche, New York
Fear(s) of the Dark
In Bruges (Martin McDonagh, 2008)
Happy-Go-Lucky (Mike Leigh, 2008)
Hamlet 2 (Andrew Fleming, 2008)
Le Cercle Rouge (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1970)
Persepolis (Vincent Paronnaud, Marjane Satrapi, 2007)
That's just off the top of my head.
Now, the movies I didn't like from this fall. Constantine's Sword was awful. It was whiny and the dude never really got his point across. Encounters at the End of the World was also stupid but not as bad as the above. Hertzog was flippant of the people he was interviewing and he somehow made the beautiful antarctic wilderness visually uninteresting.
All the other movies were really good. Especially Man on Wire and Spirited Away. Though I could've done without the stupid Power Point presentation in the latter.
Hi, John -
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments and suggestions! I'll definitely try to bring some of those titles you mention to our next program (I'll start putting things together over the next couple of weeks).
Best,
pk
