PIFF 30

The Portland International Film Fest has it all this year. A Canadian film (Fido) with pet zombies, and a South Korean film (The Host) with a squid monster created by American pollution. Manufactured Landscapes, another Canadian film, documents the three dams project in China.

There's also a great Norwegian film called A Bothersome Man. In the film, Andreas finds himself in a strange town where everybody seems content, but no one is experiencing much joy. After drinking tasteless hot cocoa and having too many conversations about designer couches, he tries to kill himself. Unfortunately, it appears Andreas is already dead.

The fest runs Feb 9-25. If you miss the it, award winning films like The Lives of Others (Germany) and The Banquet (China) will come to local theaters later on.
