I'm all fired up for this years festival. Hell, bring on the girls from Iceland (oops I'm getting carried away - that's a different website) .
AIFF kicks off this Friday with a screening at 1900h (7 pm) of Camille at The Bear Tooth followed up with a gala party at the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum at 2100h (9 pm until ??).
Check out the AIFF website. China Town is the lead "old time feature" - Hey Faye Dunaway is hot. But "daddy" is John Huston, nuff said. But don't let the old stuff distract you from the "new stuff." Film makers from around the world are participating. If you miss the Festival this year you'll regret it for the rest of you life.

Friday night opening Gala was a blast (at the Aviation Museum) - had to work sound and video, but still had time to play and look at all the airplanes.
Sunday - went to work to trouble shoot a telecine problem. NO FILMS FOR ME.
Monday - CHINATOWN, 1974. What a script, what a cast! No doubt, at least in part, a homage to The Big Sleep. I went with a friend who admitted, just before the film started, that he had never seen it. Hehe.
Opps, I forgot Saturday night, the feature CHRONIC TOWN could have been made in any cold northern city, but it was shot in Fairbanks, Alaska. The film sold out The Bear Tooth Theater, and more than a few folks were turned away. Go see it if you have a chance, the scripts a little uneven, but the director and more than a few of the actors could be household names in the future.
After CHRONIC TOWN we got to watch, ugh, REPRO!: THE GENETIC OPERA Not a festival entry but an added bonus, I almost fell asleep.
