Friday Morning at the Festival

It's SUNNY here today!!!!! First time I've seen sun since mid-December. What a treat. And what an irony to leave it and sit in a dark theater at 8:30 am.

Our first screening was a series of shorts, most of them good, all seemingly shot on digital video. Personal fav was the one about the history of the Barbie doll and Jewish identity in America. Very funny, and somehow both themes fit together in a bizarre way. Also saw one about Batman and Robin trying to pick up a girl at a cafe.

Last night in our wanderings we met 26 Stanford University students here to enjoy films. They didn't get advance tickets so they take shifts in front of the main box office all night long to be first in line when it opens at 8am. Must be nice to be young. Alyssia said their parents think they're in classes.
