It’s that time of year, the 30th Annual Miami International Film Festival (MIFF).  We’re members and we have our line-up of films, parties, and seminars set.

In an interesting move the festival’s opening and closing films are both documentaries.  The venues are many and varied.  (I’ll post tomorrow a list with images of all of them.)  The festival prides itself on living-up to the “International” in its name.

And now here is my list of the films we will be watching:

March 1st

Edwin is watching this one.  I have a conflict with The Hypnotist.  This is a tough  call because of the subject matter of Casting By, but I am already very doc heavy this festival year.

Dark Blood

This is the film I am most excited about.  I was a big River Phoenix fan when he was alive, and I am very curious to see what his last film is about.

And there we have it.  The only film in doubt of me watching is Leviathan.  If I do watch it, then my film split will be six features and six docs.  It should be a fun, but exhausting time.  There will be many week nights of me rushing from work to the theatre.  But that’s part of the fun.
