40th Annual Auckland Film Festival

Well for those that know me, you'll be shocked to hear I am going to see a screening from the festival today. I generally don't "do musuems" and definitely don't do "art". I actually do, but usually in my own way and in accordance with my own style which is usually a lot "less cultured" than what other people consider art.

Any ways, here's the website for those film geeks out there: http://www.enzedff.co.nz/

Some pretty cool stuff playing actually. Today I am seeing "King of Kong" which is a documentary about the world champion of Donkey Kong, which you will probably remember as an old 80s video game.

Recently I have even seen 2 foreign films (and you can't blame Jen as she is still in American Samoa for another week). I saw My Best Enemy (an Italian film and I don't recall the actual Italian name) and Camille Fauque
... aka Hunting and Gathering. I really like the Italian one. Hunting and Gathering was decent but a bit slow for my taste and I didn't feel the motivation of some of the characters.

So who knows maybe I will become an art movie buff, but don't hold your breath :)
