MIFF 2026 Special

I'm just curious, what is your process? Because you watch an insane number of films, every myth.

Yes.

What is your procedure with the schedule? Do you sit down with a pen and paper?

Yep, definitely pen and paper.

I did do it online one year and tried clicking the love hearts or whatever.

And I didn't find it more clarifying than just writing down the various session times with a pen and paper.

I guess I'm lucky enough, as you both are, as being a...

Member of the media and thus having access to screeners beforehand.

So I find that I do a schedule where I just book in films all day, every day, right at the start.

And then hopefully by the end, I'm not actually doing that because that would be a bit insane.

But speaking of insane, my goal every year is to watch 100 films.

And I've seen 50 films from the NIF program thus far.

So I'm right on schedule.

And

we do still go to the actual cinema and watch them, I should clarify.

Oh,

yeah, absolutely.

We love

the audience participation.

Yes.

There's

many things that I'm seeing at like IMAXs and, you know, giant screens and going to a couple at the Astor, getting my, you know, full theatrical experience in.

Well, the actual spaces themselves are as much a part of it as well.

I'm delighted that IMAX is again on there because it's very close to me.

And also the Capitol.
