s a rule, I generally enjoy anything with the word "fest" somewhere in the title. Especially with this year's Blues Festival, Reggae Festival, and Folk Festival, fests never seem to disappoint. So I've got high hopes for the Global FilmFest, which starts today. The focus of the festival is to showcase international documentaries from unique cultural perspectives. The idea is that re-framing of assumptions can open our minds. Today's first selection is Giovanni Attili's Where Strangers Become Neighbours, an exploration of negative reactions towards immigration and how they become positive in one Vancouver neighbourhood. Sounds truly heartwarming, deserving of the word "fest".
