A Crash Course Field Trip!

So it’s like this – about a year ago I looked up all the various film festivals, to see if there were any that may appeal. Some I bookmarked as “someday” trips (Sundance is expensive) and some I quickly learned I had no chance (Cannes is largely for industry insiders). The New York film festival had one or two films I needed to see anyway.

And then there was the TCM Festival, launched by the Turner Classic Movie network. Lo and behold they also have a three day film festival in Los Angeles, complete with lectures and such, with a program covering about 100 years worth of film history.

My flight boards in 20 minutes and I will be seeing one, possibly two, films from the list as part of the festival.
