Surfacing briefly to mention two things...

1) Happy Father's Day to dads everywhere, and in particular the three on my flist! You are awesome! *cheers you all*

2) This is directed specifically at my fellow Toronto sci-fi geeks:

The single best program I've seen at WWSFF so far is playing again tonight, Sunday the 17th at 9:30 PM at Innis Town Hall. It's the sci-fi shorts, and granted, I'm totally biased as a sci-fi and animation geek, but this is an INCREDIBLE program. It includes:

1. One Cannes Palme D'or
2. Two breathtaking animated ones (and another that's just okay): one in a video-game style (Codebreakers), and the other possibly the most amazingly-executed CGI short I've ever seen (458nm)
3. A Star Wars/The Office mashup: Wookie at Work
4. A Montreal apartment reimagined as a Star-Trek-like ship on a mission: bread and milk are the fuel, the bathroom is the medical bay, and the escape pod is the garbage can. It only gets picked up on Thursdays... FUCKING BRILLIANT.

And there's MORE, and they're ALL GOOD. It's ten bucks; the details are here and the directions here. Seriously guys, try and make it to this program if you can.

Thus ends my Public Service Announcement for the day. *grins, submerges once again into darkened theatres*

I was a HUGE fan of the last one, the Montreal apartment one.

I was also a big fan of the German on with the virtual prison and the animated space-clones one. AWESOME.

(Saw it this evening. Thanks for the suggestion. :D)

Yay! I'm thrilled you took the time to go - and that you liked them! Yeah, that Montreal one was just amazing, wasn't it? I'm hoping it will show up on YouTube, but I did at least find the trailer to share with people.

You're most welcome for the suggestion, and thank YOU for taking the time to tell me you went. Nice to know it was worth the trouble of the post. *beams happily*

I agree with Ephraim wholeheartedly (we saw it together, because I read your LJ before running out the door to meet him). Thank you for the recommendation! Yay, powers of suggestion. :)

That's awesome! And thank you for taking the time to tell me you went and that you enjoyed it! *does silly little happy dance*

The powers of suggestion indeed...I'm going to get around to writing my post-Luminato entry one of these days, and I'll be referencing your dream and my apparent influence... ;D
