Pacific Rim Film Festival (October 17-22, 2008)

I had a glimpse at the schedule, and it looks very, very good. I counted sixteen shorts/documentaries/feature films altogether, here's a small selection of movies that I'm curious about:

KAMOME DINER: Three Japanese women open an eatery in Helsinki, Finland (poster to the right).
FAMILY INC: New York filmmaker Emily Ting becomes "CEO in training in one of Hong Kong's most notorious toy companies."
LA CORONA: "A beauty pagent like no other that happens every year in the women's penitentiary in Bogota, Colombia."
WHAT THE SNOW BRINGS: Two brothers working a stable for the "Banei horserace, a sleigh-pulling race unique to Hokkaido."
OUT OF THE BLUE: "Local filmmaker Chris Thompson tells the story of the Santa Cruz Surfing Club."
QUE VIVA LA LUCHA: "A look at the sport of Lucha Libre or Mexican wrestling, specifically the extreme version in Tijuana."
