It's the end of the week, so it's time to Celebrate the Small Things...
What am I celebrating this week?
It's the weekend!
Well, not exactly... I'm working about 16 hours tomorrow, so it's not really a weekend. But on Sunday I have tickets to a 4-hour Frederick Wiseman documentary which I'm very much looking forward to. Not for everyone, I'm sure, but for me, it's the most must-see film of the Festival. I don't think I've ever missed a Wiseman doco. Lucky the Film Festival tends to programme them because they don't tend to get a general theatrical release.
I kicked off my 2024 Film Festival yesterday afternoon with Humanist Vampire Seeks Consenting Suicidal Person, a dryly funny French Canadian film about a vampire with too much empathy to kill and her friendship with a morose young man who was picked on by all the town's bullies. Very enjoyable! I do love a vampire movie, especially ones that have new twists to the mythology.
I haven't got a heavy load of films booked this year, but I am going to 10, so I will report back on them as I go.
I don't expect to get any writing done this weekend, but I may take a day off during the week to make up for working the last two weekends, so that would make up for it.
What are you celebrating this week?
Sixteen hours??? That's too much. Take that day off to rest at least.
