As always, here is a list of the films I’ve requested tickets for. Depending on how the ticket lottery goes, I could get anywhere from none to all of these. New this year is a series of free screenings being held at Yonge-Dundas Square, mostly of concert films. Since I’m not working at the moment, I’ve expanded my list of films to 15 and will also try to catch some of the free screenings (marked with an asterisk).

What (and how many) are you planning to see this year?
I’m working on seeing 42 this year and don’t have much cross over with your list! I’m hoping to catch Air Doll but at another time, I think Gigante is a 2nd somewhere… the titles are starting to blur. I can’t wait til the orders are processed I’m so ready to ink in the films!
Good call on getting out to some of the free events, I meant to look at that but just doesn’t look like I’ll have the time…
I’m happy to report that I got all 15 of my picks, so the above schedule is accurate. Hope you got all yours, too!
