It’s been over a week since the 7th Era New Horizons Film Festival has ended. Same as last year, I’ve spent 11 days in the cinema. As always, the time has passed quicker that I could imagine. And as always, it was worth every second of it! Although I must say that the movies selection was not as good as that in 2006.
I’ve watched 51 movies. It was as much as one could watch as there were 10 regular festival days with 5 screenings a day plus the opening day with only one screening. I’ve spent about 1150 zł (circa 420$) on the whole festival (accreditation, accommodation, meals, etc.).
The best movies of the festival (TOP 10):
- Ostrov (2006)
- Gwoemul (2006)
- Niwemang (2006)
- Beneath Clouds (2002)
- Persepolis (2007)
- Sutra ujutru (2006)
- Look Both Ways (2005)
- Nuovomondo (2006)
- Walking on Water (2002)
- Obsluhoval jsem anglického krále (2006)
The worst movies of the festival (TOP 5):
- Nue propriété (2006)
- Kurz davor ist es passiert (2006)
- Hamlet (2007/III)
- Hei yan quan (2006)
- Extranjera (2007)
See you next year? Oh, and say no to French cinema! ;)
Yeaaaa. No more French cinema until next French movie ;-) Yet, they’re just unbearable. Far too often simply unwatchable.
I’ve got one remark. In fact you saw 53 films – one screening – the dance cinema – consisted of three boring (but one) pictures. Or it was even 54 – you saw this short which accompanied… one of the films.
I still count all those as 51 screenings/movies.
So am I – counting my 50 screenings, nevertheless that’s the fact.
