New Film Series at The Waldorf Hotel - Vancouver Sometimes Plays Itself
Friday, April 1, 2011 at 4:17PM 
The Waldorf is screening a series of films shot in Vancouver and actually set in Vancouver. This is pretty rare considering the number of films that are shot in our city. Films screen each Monday and admission is free.
I like seeing old footage of the city, it really underscores how quickly things change in Vancouver. As I'm always keeping an eye on development I find I often think about how quickly we forget what was there before.
From the Waldorf web site:
Vancouver Sometimes Plays Itself is presented by local arts researcher Elvy Del Bianco, who has spent the last year and a half identifying and acquiring Vancouver-set films, and features notable guest speakers, including Fraser Nixon and actor and UBC professor Tom Scholte.
Details:
- Launching Monday, April 11, 2011 with screenings every Monday through June 13, 2011.
- Doors at 7pm, Introduction and screening at 7:30pm – 9:30pm.
- Admission by Donation.
