The Anchorage International Film Festival (AIFF) is a sprawling affair. At least 6 movie theaters screen films which are located all around town. You definitely needed a car (or a ride from a volunteer) to get between screenings. Since three films were usually being projected at the same time, it took a fair amount of planning to be sure you were where you needed to be.

I attended the festival from the opening Gala on Friday, December 2 and stayed through Sunday, December 11. I was one of the few filmmakers to stay for the entire event. I was also the only filmmaker to have 4 films (all shorts) accepted in the festival:

• Freedom of Expression
• It’s a Wonderful Day If You Like Rain
• Raspberry Bushes
• Superciliary (Eyebrow) Exercise Program

Juneau filmmaker Greg Chaney just returned from the Anchorage International Film Festival where his film “Superciliary” won an Honorable Mention in the Snow Dance category. Four of his short films were accepted to the festival:

• Freedom of Expression
• It’s a Wonderful Day If You Like Rain
• Raspberry Bushes
• Superciliary Exercise Program

It sounded like he had a great time wearing his “Filmmaker” badge and hanging out with Oscar nominees at Alaska’s own international film festival.
