April - Wisconsin Film Fest / Day 4

Day 4 (4/6) -
  • 31 - Girls Rock! Heck yeah they do! This documentary about the rock & roll camp for girls movement was a great start to the last day.
  • 32 - Sixty-Six: Alex went to some documentary about tea which you couldn't have paid me to sit through, so I went to this coming-of-age tale about a boy whose bar mitzvah falls on the same day as the World Cup finals which I meant to go see at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival but missed.
  • 33 - Constantine's Sword is a documentary about a former Catholic priest whose search for a deeper understanding of his religion leads him to study persecution and violence in the Church’s history. Pretty interesting, but we saw this one in a really strange venue neither one of us could stand, so although our next film was in the same theater, we gave our tickets away to strangers in the rush line and went to get something to eat instead.
  • 34 - Fermat's Room is sort of a Spanish Good Will Hunting meets Saw; four mathematicians are invited to a remote location to solve an enigma, but it turns out they have to solve logic puzzles to keep themselves alive. It's difficult to explain but it's definitely entertaining, and if you can remember the logic puzzles you can always use them as bar games to win yourself drinks.
And that's all for Film Fest. Fifteen (although it was supposed to be sixteen) films in four days. And I'm going back for more next year.
