Yay! I have pretty high expectations of the place, so it seems it just might live up to them! Cannot wait to wander around it in September.

Hi Justine, You're totally welcome! Congrats on the good turn out, and best of luck on the next one. Pam

Hey Nicole - yep, I've been watching out for the new date and posted up a rescheduled notice yesterday: http://thetfs.ca/2010/07/20/rescheduled-tremors-s... It looks like it'll be a good time!

Thanks for the heads-up, Marie! Since we did have a whole bunch of bad weather last night, it was probably a good call for MITP to make. I'll keep an eye on their website and put up a post when they announce a new date.

Interesting question. I'm a huge documentary fan - hell, I wrote a thesis on it - but the very nature of film is such that whatever you watch in a documentary is, by definition, in the past. Political issues are complicated, and in order to make a reasonably thoughtful, balanced, informative documentary about political issues takes care and time. And by the time the film is done, the political situation may have changed, shifted. However, political films are important records of moments of time, and give us knowledge of the past to help put the present in context. Some interesting examples: Iraq in Fragments, The Fog of War, Night and Fog, to name a few.
