What we missed this week – Film Festivals

This week Viviane looks at the entertainment we are missing due to the Covid pandemic and gives us some alternative suggestions
What we missed this week – Film Festivals

Author: Photo provided by TaniaMaria Cabrera

This weekend the Cordillera International Film Festival in the Reno – Tahoe area moved to a virtual and drive-in setting. Filmmaker panels and workshops are held by video streaming, and films are shown in multiple drive-in theaters around the area.

 

The atmosphere of a movie theater and new releases, whether they be large box office sells or small independent festival entries, is something I have missed immensely this week. I have been holding my own film festivals at home.

 

Pick a handful of films by your favorite directors and make a screening for an audience of one. If you are looking to branch out, I highly suggest picking fun selections from the Coen Brothers or Wes Anderson collections. This weekend I watched Hail Caesar, Burn After Reading, A Serious Man, and Raising Arizona.

 

Creating a selection of films that you are unfamiliar with, makes for a refreshing feeling and a fun experience.

His mother, father, Karen and Trent were neighbors of ours in Tonopah, Nevada. We moved to Fallon first and then the Kroll's later moved there also. Mother and Wanda were good friends. My brother Michael and Trent were playmates in Tonopah. Mother and my three little children visited the family at their ranch in Fallon. My condolences to Frank's family.
