Forget Venice, forget the TIFF, even forget that snooty little French resort called Cannes, the Vancouver International Film Fest is here! 350 films from over 60 countries in 15 days, all in this wonderful city on the edge of the Pacific Rim. Just picked up my holy media pass the other day, so I'll be doing my absolute best to watch as many flicks as I can like Krisztina did last year. However I can't guarantee you anything, as there are only so many times I can come into work red-eyed and delirious from lack of shut-eye. The festival officially starts this Thursday, September 25th, so I guess I have my work cut out for me.

My picks of the fest (in a totally random order) are after the jump...
