We had a full day of films – our first film was at 9:30 this morning and we didn’t finish until 10:30 tonight. I have to admit that it is nice not to have to choose between films the way we had to do at the Vancouver film festivals. Seeing all the movies in the one place makes it much more relaxing than rushing from theatre to theatre.

The Guild had a display of quilts in the foyer of the theatre and I worked a two-hour stint at the information table. I missed about the last ten minutes of the first film, and the first ten minutes of the second film but it didn’t affect my enjoyment in either case. While I was working the booth I had a nice chat with a woman about the quilts and the Guild. When I mentioned that we also had an exhibit at the University, she said she was only in town for the day. What a surprise when she turned out to be the co-director of The Whale!
