The Vancouver International Film Festival is on!


The VIFF is ongoing  from October 1 - October 16, 2009. This year for the first time, I attended a movie showing at a film festival.  It was a really nice experience. Meeting some of the cast members in person - gave a very personal experience to watching the film.

The movie I saw was called Excited.  It is a Canadian movie - set in Vancouver, with a Canadian director (Bruce Sweeney) and cast (Cam Cronin, Laara Sadiq).  The movie is a romantic comedy, dealing with  a taboo/ sensitive topic of male "performance" problems.

Overall I thought this was a cute, well directed and  well acted movie, and would recommend it as worth seeing.  Beware  however that it has adult content and is not suitable for children (or even teens I would think.)
