The Calgary International Film Festival and Doc Soup, the documentary series that follows it, provides the best entertainingt/educational film outings I've found in Calgary to date. The CIFF film that I liked the most of those I was able to go to was" A Somewhat Gentle Man". Some hilarious moments, sad moments, weird moments - great movie! And the documentaries - WOW! In the past when I heard the word "documentary" I used to think...ZZZZZZZZ, ho hum. Not anymore! My favourite from the 2010/2011 season was "Wasteland". This is about the largest landfill ever, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, and the people (wonderful characters all) who eke out a living there. A must see! I am so looking forward to what CIFF and Doc Soup have to offer for the 2011/2012 season. Check it out!
