What a weekend! The Shuswap Film Society presented a REEL Weekend Mini Film Festival offering six movies from around the world. The Art Gallery offered a soup kitchen on Saturday and Sunday with pots of homemade soup donated from volunteers. This is one of their annual fund raisers so I cooked up a pot of curried lentil soup and dropped it off on Saturday morning.
The first day I saw TEDDY BEAR, a Danish film that featured a massive body builder who struggled to free himself from an overbearing mother. The audience uttered a collective cheer when he finally succeeded and, as usual, we all applauded at the end.
On Sunday morning we joined a couple of friends for the viewing of KON TIKI based on Thor Heyerdahl's raft expedition from Peru to the Polynesian islands. It was an exciting adaptation of his story. You could hear a pin drop in the theatre.
Later that afternoon I returned to see TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM, a movie about backup singers to the stars. I smiled for 1 1/2 hours as these beautiful voices filled the theatre. The most impressive voice was Lisa Fischer who has joined the Rolling Stones on every road trip since 1989.
This was an impressive and informative documentary. I love it!
Thank you to the Film Society for a great weekend!!
