Oscar Buzz

I mentioned in an earlier post that a couple of the films we're showing this year are getting some Oscar buzz - both Waste Land and Enemies of the People have made the short list for Best Documentary nominations. Of the 15 total short listed films, 5 will be chosen as official nominations and announced the morning of January 25th 2011.

I haven't seen Enemies of the People yet, but Waste Land is an amazing film and I'm not surprised to see it getting all this positive attention. In fact, we loved it so much, we chose it as our opening night feature film. And even if they don't make the cut (knock on wood), I highly recommend you add both to your must see films at this years festival.

Update: If the film links aren't working for you, please visit this link first, afterwards the links should work as they are supposed to. Sorry for any confusion

ReFrame in The Peterborough Examiner

Galen Eagle from The Peterborough Examiner wrote a fantastic article on ReFrame and is well worth the read. There's a few words from our coordinator, Krista English, a bit of ReFrame's history and highlights of some of the films at this year's festival. Also mentioned is our Friday night feature film, Waste Land, one of the two films in our program which have made the Oscar Nomination shortlist - more on these to come!
