Philadelphia Film Society at Tribeca Film Fest
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...

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).

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...
