Well I've been through my list and been checking it twice. I mean, seriously, there are a lot of films available to choose from at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. The full schedule is now online.
While the final state of my plans is still a bit up in the air, one thing I know is that if I'm going I needs some tickets. While a few days will be covered by a media pass (which also apparently results in tickets) I needed to do a bit more pre-planning than usual this year. So I've taken the step of locking in a run an an initial core movies. I'd expect I may make some changes - but as things sell out I figured better safe than sorry. There are some fantastic looking films playing that aren't on this list (such as A Separation) - but that means I couldn't making them work and/or they will be pretty easy to see in the Seattle area within the next month. Also, best case I'll only be in town for the first half of the festival - there are a lot of great sounding options in the second half I didn't look closely at.
Some of the films on the list have great word of mouth from industry or friends - other's are just huge gambles I took on gut instinct. I figure I'll be wrong at least a few times. Hoping to get a chance to see these - and interested to hear what everyone's looking forward to.
