Philadelphia Film Society at Tribeca Film Fest
I sat down with PFS Executive Director, Andrew Greenblatt to get the scoop on what he liked at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival and what Philly audiences might expect during the upcoming 20th Philadelphia Film Festival (Oct. 13-23, 2011). My first thoughts when it comes to attending the more well known film festivals, is all about being a part of the gala celebrations, red carpets and rubbing elbows with the celebrities. Andrew intentionally avoids all that, he’s there to screen – saw 15 films in 5 days, and aims to see a minimum of 4 films a day at Cannes. Therefore, he didn’t light “A Candle in the Wind” or…

Film Hightlight – Digital Dharma
PFS held their first Happy Hour not related to a specific film screening. It was just a chance for their members, attendees and guests to meet, drink and chat (hopefully about movies, but not necessarily), in the hospitably relaxed beauty of Positano Coast. (Truly, one of my favorite restaurants in the City). Best of all, if you attended the happy hour with a project to pitch/promote, I have the power as PFS Blog Contributor to feature your film on both their site and here on Tinsel & Tine. Anita Reher (pictured middle) is involved with a film project called Digital Dharma – a fantastic portrait of a man’s devotion…

Philly Restaurant – Landmark Americana
It has pained me so much these last few years, because of financial constraints, not to participate in Restaurant Week and Dine Out for Life. However, this year I thought, perhaps if I give a little, I’ll get a little, or a lot! And made Dine Out for Life reservations (Thurs 4/28) at Landmark Americana /University City (3333 Market Street). The restaurant doesn’t look very crowded in this picture because I went for a late 3pm lunch. But I can imagine on the nights featuring trivia, musical bingo and open mic, accompanied by various drink specials like $3 Margaritas and $1 Miller Lites, this place is probably hoping with the…

Tinsel & Tine Fun Film & Food Fodder on Facebook
If at times it seems Tinsel & Tine hasn’t posted anything new for a couple of days, it’s often because I’ve been making quick comments about my film and/or dining experiences and linking to interesting film and food fodder on facebook. I encourage Tinsel & Tine readers to “like” the facebook page, so you don’t miss out on the tidbits that don’t require a whole post, but may be of interest or you may want to chime in! (facebook account linked to Twitter, if you prefer to follow T & T through that social network).

Pom Wonderful presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold
What I like most about this documentary is Spurlock himself. One scene in the film has him going through a rigorous Q & A session with a brand specialist to come up with his own brand in order to sell himself to the brands he wants to sell the movie to. (make sense?) Anyway, what they come up with is that Spurlock's own brand is Mindful and Playful, and this is a very good assessment...
