TIFF 2003

Appropriately my first film ever at TIFF was a Herzog documentary, WHEEL OF TIME. I was hooked. I couldn't believe I was actually hearing Werner Herzog introducing his new film in person.

Highlights of the festival were two other documentaries, FOG OF WAR and TOUCHING THE VOID with mountain climber Joe Simpson there in person for a q&a about this true story.

Lowlight in the wake of 9/11, Afghani director Siddiq Barmak could not get a visa to be in Telluride for the festival showing of Osama.
