Going into the double digits, and I finally woke up on time! It wasn't for a movie, though.
Instead, I went to go to several lectures and panels in the Marche. Which, retroactively, I feel should count as movies. Alas, they don't.
First, I went to a talk in the short film corner from a representative from Google Infinite Deviation, a production division that provides funding to some projects that depict minority characters, specifically women, that practice coding. It was an interesting talk about representation of minorities in media as more than just their demographic, emphasizing character development and individuality.
The second talk I went to was one by Brett Ratner, a film producer who has worked on films such as those in the X-Men franchise and Tower Heist. He was a brilliant man to talk to, is a little cliched, but ultimately I feel like I did learn from him. If anything, I learned how to be persistent and was inspired by his words.
The one movie I did see today... Oh my lord, it was amazing.
I saw Fatih Akin's In the Fade, an amazing drama chronicling a woman's journey through grief after her husband and son are killed by neo-Nazis. Holy crap, this film was good. I loved it. Diane Kreuger is wonderful. She deserves so many awards.
And it's a film that's relevant? And it's sad that this film is relevant, but it is.
Please watch it. I hope it gets picked up for American distribution.
It was beautiful.
Movie Count: 26
