This past week, I was lucky enough to be able to sponsor not one but two ticket giveaways to events here in Louisville. And I was so happy that both winners-- congrats Paula and Ruth!-- were tickled pink to have won. Ruth won a four-pack of tickets to Max and Ruby Live! at the Palace Theatre, and Paula won two weekend passes to the Louisville International Film Festival.
For the Louisville International Film Fest (#LIFF) contest, I asked readers to tweet about the movies that they're most worried the current generation might never see. Check out the blog post for all of the entries. Lots of great films there. I still stand by my assertion that Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure belongs in the canon. But who can argue with entries like Blade Runner, Spinal Tap, and Rain Man??-- two of those three are in my top ten films of all time... I'll leave you to speculate on which ones.
The Louisville International Film Festival kicks off this week. According to their press release:
The
third
annual
Louisville
International
Film
Festival
(LIFF)
will
be
held
October
5
– 9
throughout
downtown
Louisville.
Films
will
be
screened
at
four
locations,
including
the
Galt
House
and
Louisville
Slugger
Museum.
The
Louisville
International
Film
Festival
is
committed
to
screening
artistic
films
not
usually
presented
through
commercial
venues,
giving
independent
filmmakers
a
place
to
showcase
their
work.
This
year,
107
films
have
been
chosen
for
screening.
The keynote event features one of my heroes, Lily Tomlin:
An
Evening
of
Classic
Lily
Tomlin”
will
be
held
at
7:30
p.m.,
October
5,
at
the
Brown
Theatre .
Her
90‐minute
show takes
the
audience
on
a
“wise
and
howlingly
funny”
trip
with
more
than
a
dozen
of
her
timeless
characters
–
from
Ernestine
to
Edith
Ann.
Other highlights of the event include a showing of Hollywood & Wine starring Chris Kattan, Horatio Sanz, and Leslie Easterbrook-- all of whom will be in attendance-- on Friday at 8pm. And a presentation by voice-over actor Bob Bergen, who will discuss the ins and outs of the profession on Saturday at 10am.
The LIFF website is fantastic and will provide you with all the information you need. I have a busy work weekend ahead of me, but I will definitely carve out some time to attend the festival. Hope you can too!

Louisville has everything you need if you will just look for it. Louisville does not "jump out at you" like a top 20 metro. Britain visitor visa depends on your nationality, the purpose of your visit and how long you need to stay. You have to know where to find what you need, and then you can have all your big city amenities without all the hassle. I love Louisville for the outstanding restaurant scene. For a city of its size, Louisville is pretty stacked in this department.
