Another quick heads-up...

Sundance has announced its 2008 line-up. Take time to check out the titles in the Documentary and World Cinema Documentary Competitions.

Finding the films...

Time to take a peek at what's happening in the world of documentary film. T/F Fest curators Paul Sturtz and David Wilson are currently in Amsterdam at IDFA. If you've got the time, you should check out the films showing there - complete with trailers. (Something T/F should aspire to...)

Perhaps we'll see more Danes on the streets of Columbia come March. Denmark's documentarians treated us to the likes of The Monastery – Mr Vig and the Nun and Enemies of Happiness last year, and it looks like several more promising titles are on this year's slate. But who knows what will strike David & Paul's fancy.

What are the films you hope to see?

Seriously...

Have you looked at the T/F website lately? WTF? That color scheme is better fit for an OB/GYN's website.

It's been long rumored that there is a website redesign in process...let's hope that's finally true.

Titterings about T/F 2008...
