Favourite Feature: Hail the New Puritan from Day 7
Favourite Short: Tie - Foodie from Day 1 and nocturne (lampedusa - fort europa) the silent short from Day 6
Best Attended: The Lollipop Generation from Day 1 and Trading the Future from Day 11, in classic opening and closing night nature. There was great attendance throughout the entire festival from the events I went to.
Favourite Experience: The Conversation, a.k.a. Everything is Everything live video creation by Tasman Richardson and Kentaro Taki on Day 6 was hands down the most fascinating experience of the festival.
Still on my mind: Vivid images of some of the animated characters in the films, like Foodie falling into a bowl of cheese puffs and The Last Samosa making a run for it. So cute!
Best Day and Best Q&A's: Day 5 with oodles and oodles of shorts and many filmmakers in attendance, this was a very entertaining night.
Favourite Program: S is for Student curated by Lesley Loksi Chan, Dan Neuhaus and Serena Lee on Day 5. A wealth of fascinating short film, very impressive student works.
Wasn't expecting: Late starts. The festival has a relaxed arty feel to it and that felt like it naturally let to a more organic schedule.
Wish I hadn't missed: A lot. There was so many things that looked awesome and I wish I could have gone to it all! I would have liked to see the installations and possibly taken a bus tour, but my biggest regret was missing NO CUTS. NO SPLICES. Selections from One Take Super 8. I hope it was awesome.
The Images Festival ran from April 3-13/08 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
