PIFF

Portland International Film Festival.  “miss casewell” – robin from the cast was ushering, but I purchased tickets.  Last night viewed ‘Tim’s Vermeer’.  A must see.  It is already playing in theaters in the City, and I saw that it is going to be in the Cinema 21 beginning March 7th.  Tonight I went to see “Of Men and Horses”.  An Icelandic submission.  If you have ever been to Iceland you will love the horse and the scenery and the way of life that the film depicts.  It had some weird moments in which I have no idea what the film maker was trying to convey, ie a Spanish speaking ‘kid’ on a bicycle… as I said, some weird moments.  There was a film on the Rijksmuseum that was cancelled before being shown. Don’t know what that was about!  There was a goodly list of submissions that, had it not been for the snow and the play would have been worth the trouble to attend.
