This is a preliminary list of films I'm hoping to catch at the Vancouver International Film Festival this year.

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, or if work prevents me from attending certain films (for example, I am supposed to review a non-festival film during the last week of the festival, but I do not know yet when I will get a chance to see it).

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.
