AIFF 2009 - Tapped, A Time Comes, Dear Lemon Lima Tonight
At the Bear Tooth tonight at 5:30 there's a documentary on bottled war, Tapped. Sounds dull, but it isn't and you'll never look at a bottle of water the same. That was the director's goal. It was the Documentary runner up. A Time Comes won the best documentary award and tells the story of a group of global warming activists who stop a new British coal plant from opening.
The 8pm slot has Audience Choice runner up Dear Lemon Lima, a feature about an
Alaska Native student in a Fairbanks private high school who learns about her Yu'pik heritage. Savanah Wiltfong of Eagle River plays the leading role. The scenery is a little strange for fall in Fairbanks (this was a low budget film shot in Seattle), but the story is a good one and the film has a lot of charm.
