Vienna’s international film festival, the Viennale also begins this weekend and runs from October 17–29. Apart from giving me an excuse to post an image of the very cool poster, it also alerted me to the existence of Austrian documentarian Erwin Wagenhofer’s new film. Entitled Let’s Make Money, it promises to be a timely exploration of how the financial industry has reached all around the world, putting the security of the whole world at risk. Both screenings are already sold out, and I’m hopeful this will make it to Toronto by the 2009 version of Hot Docs, or hopefully, even sooner. Doc Soup programmers, are you listening?

Since getting back from Reykjavik, I have been insanely busy and this year’s Toronto After Dark film festival has sort of snuck up on me. One of the most well-organized small fests I’ve attended, this annual showcase for “horror, sci-fi, action and cult cinema” is now in its third year. And despite my continuing overscheduling, I’m desperately hoping to find some time to catch a few screenings. The fest runs from October 17–24 (yes, it starts tomorrow!), and all screenings take place at the Bloor Cinema (Bloor and Bathurst). Here are a few films that caught my eye (ew, that sounds so much gorier when talking about a festival like this one):
Of course, my plans and my schedule rarely get along, so I’ll just have to cross my fingers that I can get to at least some of these. If you’re in Toronto and planning to go to After Dark, what are you excited about seeing?
