Videomatica is Vancouver’s premiere source for cinephiles, the video shop that all those who love film frequent to sate their need for international film, and a window on the world. In order to gain employment with Videomatica, job applicants are required to take a film erudition exam (see video below).
In 2006, consideration was given by the VIFF to making the Videomatica exam a part of the criteria for accepting volunteers to the 25th annual Vancouver International Film Festival. Such did not come to pass this year, but you never can tell what the future might hold. Click on the video below to see whether or not you qualify as a true, died-in-wool VIFF cinéaste.

With thanks to producer / filmmaker ‘Kino’ Klassen, and the inimitable J.B. ‘Showbiz’ Shayne, the ‘stars’ of this award-winning VIFF film short.
C’mon back tomorrow for a full VIFF posting. See you then.
