For the second film viewing of my tiny little film festival/weekly movie night, I will be showing this:

This is one of my favorite documentary films, both for the style of presentation and content.

I’ll also be showing a surpise short film before this, which I’m hoping to do more often,
to showcase some lesser known filmmakers (including myself).

I’ll conclude with some cool movie trivia about “The Corporation” (2003):
-It took three and a half years to raise the money to make the film, three years to shoot it, and a year and a half for post-production.
-The current running time (2 hours & 25 minutes) is edited down from 450 hours of footage and 100 hours of interviews. The first cut ran 33 hours!
-The film is based on a book by UBC law professor Joel Bakan, who helped on the film as well. The majority of the film’s crew is Canadian as well, I believe.

On a somewhat related note, I am quite happy to hear that UBC’s film production program major has re-opened! It is stated on their (website.) I am naturally planning to apply (one must apply for this competitive major) for September 2008, when it officially re-opens admissions. I’m sure many people will apply, and I know only a few will be selected. Please wish me luck and support me on this attempt to pursue my dreams.

Take Care All.
