To-do: Week starting Thursday 29th July: MIFF (of course), plus Koreeda’s Still Walking plus Woody Allen and Kurosawa doublebills

by To Do List - published 28/07/10

We were thinking this column would be unnecessary this week because, y’know, we’re BANG IN THE MIDDLE OF MIFF RIGHT NOW, but this weekend ACMI is screening Still Walking by Hirokazu Koreeda, whose Air Doll [our review here] is showing at the film festival right now. We listed Still Walking among our top films of last year here. Matinee screenings on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Now if you’re wondering what to check out at the festival, well you have the benefit of the woefully inadequate festival guide and Conall’s listing of the highlights in our MIFF preview here.

(Other extra-MIFF events of interest are the Woody Allen doublebill at the Astor on Sunday – Annie Hall and Manhattan; and the Akira Kurosawa doublebill on Monday – Yojimbo and Sanjuro; and Linklater’s latest Me and Orson Welles, starring Zac Efron(!!!) opens)
