Reel Asian Film Festival — November 26 – 30

Josie over at the Greater Toronto Area Bloggers blog points to the Reel Asian Film Festival, which takes place a week and a half from now. Their site says:

The 2003 Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival runs November 26-30. Over 50 shorts and features by and about Asians all over the world will screen in 15 different programmes at four venues in the downtown core. There are also FREE workshops for both industry insiders and neophytes alike. The Opening and Closing Night Gala parties take place at two of the hottest nightspots in the Little Italy entertainment district. Last year’s festival attracted an audience of 3,000 and this year’s festival promises to be even bigger and better!

Now Magazine called it Accordion City’s “Best Small [Film] Festival” in a recent issue:

Reel Asian New-media mavens Images and Tranz-Tech define Toronto moving image art, but Reel Asian strikes the best balance between cutting edge and community. Strong programming and deep roots attract a super-hyphenated tribe, while the festival keeps a year-round presence with screenings of Thai epics, homegrown debuts or mad jolts from Japan.

Sounds like fun, and I’m sure that at least a few of us GTABloggers will be attending…
