In August I will be attending my first ever film festival and I am very excited! Today the site’s gone live with the films and session times so I’ve put together my proposed schedule. I will be seeing 20 sessions (after purchasing two eMini passes) and while I’ve settled on 17 films I would love your help for which other 3 to see.
Here’s my 17 ‘locked in’ movies:
I would love your help (see below) of which other 3 to see (schedule permitting) and whether to go to the closing night film: Mental.

Thanks for and advice and I look forward to catching up with people at MIFF too!


You can definitely managed to Forum/GU schedule movie double…only in trouble if first film runs late. But it’s a run straight up the hill, have done it many times on my MIFF quests!
Awesome!!! This means I’ll be able to see WUTHERING HEIGHTS on the Sunday instead. Thanks Tash
