Can someone help with film festival recs?

[EvilShoe]

Hi gang!

I got selected as judge member for the youth jury of filmfestival Ghent (www.filmfestival.be (http://www.filmfestival.be)). This means I have to see the following movies: Dogging a Love Story, (500) days of Summer, Das Vaterspiel, Floating in Memory, A L'Ouest de Pluton, Lost Times, Anvil! The Story of Anvil, Fish Tank, Yang Yang, Zion and his Brother, Accidents Happen, Dongbei Dongbei, The Strength of Water, Marching Band, Ajami, Precious, Seventh Circle and Er Dong.

It also means I can attend other movies that are showing for free (if they are at times I am free). Anyone know what else seems worth the time? I'll try to see as many Ghibli's as possible, maybe White Ribbon, Cold Souls and Men Who Stare at Goats as well.

See next post for list. (Was too long)

I have not seen Forever Enthralled, but I would love to get someone's reaction of it. I have seen Soul Kitchen, and it's awesome, and I would easily recommend that one.

Enjoy Fish Tank!

Might see Forever Enthralled then, if I don't have anything else lined up at the time.

Thanks for mentioning Soul Kitchen! Didn't realize that was a new Fatih Akin film.

Hi, saw Forever Enthralled yesterday.
The relationships between the characters had potential, but feel a bit undercooked. It mostly left me cold.
I feel it started off strong, but lost its way after the first hour or so.
Visually impressive at times, though.

But yeah, more like "Occasionally Enthralled".
Sorry for the pun
