Tomorrow is the last day at Raindance and it's not too late to watch something that will give you a taster of the wonderful films playing in the festival.
Three great documentaries - one on the banjo narrated by Steve Martin (insert funny gag here while banjo music strums in the background) for the music-inclined, The Hidden Hand which explores extraterrestrial life and alien-human interactions by those who are apparently in the know about it and one for the romantics on those addicted to love.
After School Midnighters looks great although I haven't seen it yet. It's an animated piece about an anatomy model who comes to life after midnight and the animation seen in the scene played at the awards this evening had us all in stitches, so we're lucky to have caught a glimpse of this before its final screening.
If you missed the festival's shorts, don't miss tomorrow. There's the Best International Shorts at 3pm and Shorts Program 14 at 5pm. This starts with the sci-fi, thought-provoking work of Rory O'Donnell called AutoDrive. I managed to catch this short film at the cast and crew screening last week and it creates an unsettling feeling that stays with you after the film has finished. It'll definitely make you think twice about using your car's navigation system and is worth going to the shorts program for.
Aside from the closing night film Salt (and after party) you can also catch some good films like Cinema Six, Bad Hair Friday, City Slacker and From Tuesday to Tuesday.
There's one more day of being immersed in indie film like never before and then its back to the diet of junk food cinema that's currently playing at the box office (seriously, have you seen Resident Evil: Retribution? That's the first film I've seen in a while that made me almost throw popcorn at the screen in hope of waking the film up. Ugh.)
See you tomorrow at Raindance.
