VIVARIUM – ★★★☆ – I love the old The Twilight Zone episodes and am a fan of science fiction so this unusual, mostly unexplained film about a couple stuck in a suburban development had all the potential. It was good, but like Black Mirror episodes, feels like it could have been told in a more succinct way.

THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM – ★★★☆ – A nice enough US documentary about a couple who start a farm using more traditional techniques to show that factory farming isn’t always the best choice. I loved the quote “There’s never enough time to do it right, but plenty of time to do it over”. #MIFF2019

HONEYLAND – ★★★★ – Incredibly filmed Macedonian documentary about a woman leading a simple rural life, keeping bees to support herself and her 85 year old mother. The arrival of new neighbours demonstrates the lack of foresight the modern world seems to have.

Day one of the Melbourne International Film Festival 2019! Very excited to see what where I will be transported to this year. #MIFF2019

Barely had time to look at the program, but already some exciting changes for MIFF 2019 this year:

  • No Comedy Theatre! 🎉
  • The Capitol Theatre is back! Can’t wait to see it again
  • It looks like the MIFF lounge is *not* at The Forum but is now called the Salon and will be at the Capitol too. ❤️
