Saturday, October 23rd - 8pm onward -- as CBC Arts News reports: bq. A film festival in London, Ont. is boldly going where no film festival has gone before – by showcasing the work of William Shatner. bq. But contrary to what you might expect, the festival – dubbed the First Annual Mini Shatner Fest – will not feature any movies with the Canadian performer in his most famous role, Captain Kirk. bq. Instead, it will highlight more obscure films, ones that came out both before and after Shatner's three-season run on television's Star Trek. A highlight of the news article (talking with Skot Deeming, the festival's organizer): bq. The response to the festival has so far been enthusiastic. One person even sent Deeming an e-mail asking if he could bring alcohol. bq. Deeming's answer: "Maybe you should bring some alcohol. It's five-and-a-half hours of 1970s Shatner films. You might need a little bit of that." Heh... Posted by DaveH at October 14, 2004 10:50 PM
