This is just a preliminary list of films I'm hoping to catch at the Vancouver International Film Festival. I will be updating this list regularly, and I may delete films from this list if I get a chance to see them at press screenings before their regular screenings.

Any gaps in the schedule may be filled by catching up on whatever is playing in regular theatres at that time, or by hanging out with friends and family. I might even take time out to celebrate my birthday. Who knows.
