Impressions of a film festival, part three
BIFF UPDATE #3, Sunday, May 17, 2009
Film criticism documentary For the Love of Movies was a bittersweet portrayal of rise and fall of movie criticism. At one time, film reviewing raised the bar for everyone, or at least was a lively, engaging cultural conversation. Then they fired almost all the newspaper film critics to cut budgets. Today, everyone's a critic; we're all the lesser for it.
I tried the Shorts #2 program. Walked out after the third one. Whoever chose this year's short films has very different taste from me.
