Film Festival

Did anyone else have a fantastic time at the Cleveland Film Festival?! It was worth every penny! Not only was I able to watch an amazing movie, I also had a great experience while doing so! My boyfriend and I took the entire day and hung out in Cleveland. We went shopping in tower city, went to the film and then ate at the "Mongolian BBQ". We had so much fun! The whole atmosphere at the film festival was something that I am not used to. Everyone was there for the same reason... to watch independent films! I was able to see a suspense called "The Candidate".

The movie I chose had a very confusing and detailed plot. So detailed, in fact, it would take forever to explain. It was a mystery/suspense. It seemed to keep everyone on the edge of their seats, including my boyfriend, whom is hard to please when it comes to movies. I really wish I was able to watch more films. Next year I am planning on spending an entire day watching films.

I really think that it would be so much fun to bring my class to a film festival. it is a great experience, and something a little different. I cannot wait to bring movies into the English classroom. I really loved the activity we did when we did the scene by scene and listening to the films during class. it really sounds like an activity that I am going to love to do in my classroom!
