VIFF Group Pre-Fest Gettogether
I've been a bit shy about going public with this, as it has been email only, but I'd like to open this to a few more people in the hopes of expanding the VIFF Group to include more film festival fans, to meet and greet prior to seeing five movies a day. (Well, at least that's what I'm doing. heh)
What is the VIFF Group? It's a small but dedicated group of film-lovers that have all come together because of the annual Vancouver International Film Festival. Beginning as a grassroots efforts by my partners Lucia Santiago Dantes and Sebastian Balon, our purpose is simple: meet, hang out, discuss film and establish relationships that will extend into the festival experience and future ones.
In October 2005, the VIFF Group had its first successful get-together after the festival in the VIFF Group's official hangout, Kingston's. In early June, there was a mini-VIFF Group hangout (picture above) that led to meeting some new and exciting people involved with the fest. This year, the VIFF Group will have three meetings, one prior to the festival, one around the middle (this is just announced since my father will be attending the festival for a weekend) and one on the final day of screenings.
And thanks to Laine Slater of the Vancouver International Film Centre, I am proud to be hosting the VIFF Group Pre-Fest Get-Together which includes a FREE (yes, FREE! Did those all caps excite you or what?) movie followed by a reception drink at our beloved Kingstons. Here's the information you need to know:
