Press Confrence and a few words about Franz and Arcade
Not much happening in the world of VIFF news, but I thought I would share a recent email sent to the VIFF media list in regards to the press confrence:
Mark Your Calendars:
VIFF Press Confrence
Event: 24th Vancouver International Film Festival Press Confrence
When: Wednesday, September 7, 2005; 10:30am -- Luncheon Follows
Announcements: Full Details of the 2005 Festival will be announced, including:
- Complete List of Films

So in essence, all of the usual suspects doing what they do best. I will not be attending (I will be JUST getting back from a weekend vacation in Qualicum Beach at my parent's house) but it looks like it will be an enjoyable day for anyone who does go. As well, the full release list of films goes up the very same day on the site, which naturally will be posted here.
In other news, my good friend Bill has just secured tickets for the Franz Ferdinand concert on second row. The concert happens on October 4th at 7:30pm, so there better not be any exclusive screenings that night. Ditto for the 7th which gives us The Arcade Fire in concert, which has just secured a spot at the Commodore Ballroom, but nada on the tickets yet. I'm working on it. So far, these will be my only two concerts during the festival!
