2008 wviff spring film opens
WVIFF is opening with the WV premiere of a major new film made here that has already been shown commercially in NYC and LA, “Burning the Future.” Heavy on docs as always, some other great films like “Lust, Caution” will finally premiere. I am especially excited that Kevin Carptener’s film, “One Earth - Makutano on Kilimajaro” to be shown at 5:30 PM on Saturday, April 26th. ( I only wish they could have squeezed in another new WVSU-Tanzanian film, “Video Huts,” both premiering at last October’s WVFFF in Sutton.)
Every film is worth seeing of course, some of which may not be so easily available on DVD such as “The Fence Jumper.”
Of course, everyone will want to see John Sayles’ newest, “Honeydripper.”
Finally, thanks to the ongoing film viewing of my friend Sandy Berman, I know that he highly recommends “Taxi to the Dark Side,” directed by the man who made “Enron - The Smartest Man in the Room.”
