November - October 2011:

16 CHOOSING WHISTLER
The Whistler Film Festival had what appeared to be the perfect reputation for a festival that followed the more traditional Vancouver event. It was a lot of fun. However, after 11 years, organizers are beginning to sense that attention is being paid to the caliber of guests and the film premieres.

18 MEETING EXPECTATIONS
When Pixar Canada held its first press conference in the spring of 2000, it kept expectations low with the promise that it would focus on short films. Now that two films have been completed, will the local company break out into features?

21 DEFYING TRADITION
If traditional ways of marketing and distributing films are dead, where are the replacements? A panel at Whistler’s Summit film industry forum will look at alternatives for independent films.

22 STAYING IN TUNE
Local composers have made a remarkable contribution to the BC film and television industry throughout its history. Although most admit that it’s never been an easy ride, they are keeping up with the challenges and finding new markets for their work.

24 FEAR AND SELF-LOATHING ON THE FESTIVAL TRAIL
Woody Allen may have a doppelgänger in Vancouver filmmaker Kris Elgestrand. His diary on the writing and co-directing of Doppelgänger Paul (Or A Film About How Much I Hate Myself), features much hand wringing and angst. However, the film received good reviews in Toronto and is on its way to Whistler.
