Festivals

Festival Coverage (in reverse chronological order)

As nice as it is to just watch films at home, it's good to get out into the world every once in a while. That's why I like festivals so much. Not only do they provide an opportunity to see a lot of films in one place, but they're also a wonderful way to meet new people and see new places. I've made a lot of friends at film festivals over the years, and they've given me an excuse to visit a lot of incredible cities that I may not have found my way to otherwise. And it's pretty fun to write about festivals, too, which is what this page is designed to showcase. A compendium of all my festival coverage, in reverse chronological order. And, more than that, a way of collecting accounts of many of the trips I've taken for cinema. I'm always planning the next one, too, so I'll be updating this page as I write about more of them.
