Volunteer

This week and the next I am volunteering for LIFF. This means free film for me! There is a huge programme and a lot I want to see but I am celebrating the opening night with Planet Terror at Hyde Park Picture House. I have a penchant for old B-movie posters at the moment, as does Tarantino. Tarantino is much cooler than me though.



Noise, directed by Matthew Saville looks to be one of the most promising films of the festival, and the only film I've ever heard of to feature tinnitus as a plot device.



Other films I aspire to see include graphic novel adaptation Persepolis, Mexican horror The Orphanage, Miss Universe 1929, and Les Chansons d`Amour. The characters in the latter sing to each other in place of speech; previously any indication of a musical and I would dismiss it but I recently discovered hilarious Kiwi musi-comedy Flight of the Concordes and I may be converted.
