Happy New Year!
Looks like I will get the new year off starting right by reposting some of the content which recently got deleted from this site (malware attack). While I have copies of some of the material, other posts will have to be reproduced from memory. Needless to say, the copy may differ slightly in word, but not in tone.
Stay Tuned!
Cutting it kind of close, but here is a pretty comprehensive list of the TCM Film Festival I am looking forward to. The lists are divided by virtual venue – programming which will be broadcast on the TCM network as well as the TCM curated section of the streaming service HBO Max (requires a subscription). All times are EST.
You can even participate in a Club TCM event (access subject to availability). Last night, I had the please of attending “Meet TCM” and tonight, I am all set for the “Opening Night Toast With the Hosts” a little later at 6:00PM EST.
Overall, my impression is that there is literally something for everyone – and minus the queueing up (although I do miss the socializing that queueing for hours inevitably brings). Check back later AFTER the festival for a wrap up of my experience.
Also note – realistically, I do not imagine I will watch everything I have called out below. But hopefully, this collection will serve as inspiration for you to check out something that you might not have otherwise considered.
Second in a Two-Part Series
In the previous installment of “Loving Movies in the Time of COVID,” I spoke broadly about how living in this time of COVID has impacted my movie-loving life. Now. I would like to dive a little deeper into how the pandemic has affected film festival-going.
Here is my personal account of some of the creative ways my favorite festivals adjusted to the times.
