Who's going to Cinefest?

I've got a sign up for 2 pm today (if anyone gets this) in the rabble room. If that's not amiable, please let me know.

Jack, those I've talked to don't think 2:00 Friday is going to work- it's pretty late for lunch and it's in the middle of a film. I took the notice down- it just said "2:00 tomorrow" anyhow and was confusing. Maybe we can make an announcement at the Palace & all sit together

Sounds good.

So I've seen a little Facebook action on this topic, but I'd love to read somebody's account of the whole fest. Who's up for it?

I'll prolly put something together in the next week.

I'm not in any condition to do a full runthrough (I've tried in the past for Capitolfest) but will drop in my views where I can.

Grand Forks' own Chris Jacobs has done splendid assessments the last two years. He sits in the front and keeps notes. I'm sure he's on it.

Thanks, Eric! I started writing up some notes Sunday night before dinner and finished during a three-hour layover in the Minneapolis airport on the way back Monday afternoon, with a few finishing touches on the plane. My capsule comments on the 2011 Cinefest are now up in the "Talking About Talkies" forum. I also did a summary of highlights for the High Plains Reader which should be on their website by the end of this week (or I could also post it to the forum if anybody wants a shorter variant version of the capsules).

This year's show was stupendous (CINE-sational), attendence up 15%, new generation onlookers eager to know what it's all about, brisk trading and selling - Shorty
