PICT0105.JPGLast night I had one of those "only at TIFF" moments.  After hosting a raucus and emotional screening of Charles Officer's stirring debut Nurse.Fighter.Boy I headed over to one of the city's finer hotels to escort a few of the filmmakers from Before Tomorrow to their first journey up the CN Tower.  The Igloolik based trio of Carol Kunuk, Madelaine Puijuq Ivalu and Susan Avingaq (pictured) enjoyed the view before heading over to the filmmaker's dinner, where they then got to schmooze with the likes of Kari Skogland (Fifty Dead Men Walking), Patricia Rozema, Warren Sonoda (Cooper's Camera), Malcolm Rogge (Under Rich Earth), and Terry Miles and Kristine Cofsky (When Life Was Good). The second screening of their film is tonight - and it should not be missed.

See you in the theatre.
