I can’t believe I spent the last hour organizing what I want to watch, and now I am having a headache (this one might stem from the bad coffee I had though, somehow I seem to feel much better with espresso than coffee).
So, after cutting down mercilessly everything that I might not find *too* interesting, here’s a nearly definitive list of the program I want to attend:
- Thursday, 17:00 – IC 05 “Accidents and Incidents”
- Thursday, 19:00 – IC 02 “Love and Disaster”
- Thursday, 21:00 – SP 10 “Prix UIP 1”
- Thursday, 23:00 – IC 07 “Dreams and Nightmares”
- Friday, 20:00 or Sunday, 15:00 – MEX 04 “Before Fame and Fortune”
- Saturday, 15:00 – MEX 02 “La Vida y otras Curiosidades”
- Saturday, 20:00 – IC06 “With different eyes”
- Saturday, 22:00 – MEX 01 “When the lights go out”
IC stands for “International Competition”, “UIP” is a compilation of nominees for some european shortfilm award and MEX stands for Mexico. As you can imagine, For Thursday and Saturday, a day ticket would be advisable (15 euro per day). With the one other date (6 euros), it would amount to 36 euro altogether for 8 screenings – and this is less than the 40 euro for the festival ticket.
The only thing I really would want to see apart from this is IC 01 “Animated”, simply because I love animated shortfilms more than anything else. It doesn’t matter because this is already exciting enough! (And stressful too… I am going to drop dead after Thursday, haha.)
Wut?! 40 euro for all-you-can-watch in 3 days? Sweet!
If only they implemented that ticketing system here for festivals… I’d definitely hit it. :P
No, no, it’s 5 days. But everything is about 1.5 hours long for 6 euro, so the ticket is only worth it when you go to more than 6 shows on different days with no more than 2 shows per day. That makes at least 7 x 1.5 = 10.5 hours that you have to watch to make the ticket worth it…
