Boise 101:Idaho International Film Festival Update

 

The Idaho International Film Festival now has all the info on the films to be screened at this year's festival on their website www.idahofilmfestival.com/films.htm.  That means it's one stop shopping for all your festival info. No need for this reporter to go out and get links for you. The IIFF gets how to use the internet.  Plus they have a facebook page, and if you are a fan, you should facebook fan them www.facebook.com/home.php.

Also in addition to the planning tips included in the last movie examiner post, the IIFF added some of their own :
"1 - There are 31 film programs in the Festival - don't go to work on Friday and you can watch 20,
2 - There is enough time between movies to get to the next one on time,
3 -... Time slots will feature a film for general audiences, one for adults & an alternate,
4 - Some films only play once - build your schedule around these. "

Good tips. Add them to your list.  Don't operate under the assumption that with Netflix and other sites like it that you will be able to see the 31 films at the festival at your convenience by renting.  Just not true. A couple of standouts from previous Idaho International Film Festivals eg.  "Filmic Achievement"  www.imdb.com/title/tt0452620/ and "The Treasures of Long Gone John" www.imdb.com/title/tt0814360/  are still not rentable.
