LA VIDA UTIL from Uruguay is playing at the Vancouver International Film Center. The film was part of VLAFF's 2011 selection. LA VIDA UTIL, directed by Federico Veiroj, tells the story of Jorge who at the age of 45 still lives with his parents. He has been the film programmer and technical manager at the local cinémathèque for 25 years. He also has a show at a Montevideo radio station where he conducts interviews and talks about movies with filmmakers. With attendance down, the cinémathèque is struggling to make a profit, threatening to leave Jorge unemployed. For the first time, he is forced to change his way of life in order to adapt to the new world he faces. LA VIDA UTIL is a film for all those cinephiles who, like Jorge, find their lives consumed by movies. Featuring a unique sendup to Mark Twain’s satirical essay “On the Decay of the Art of Lying.” For screening times go to: http://filmguide.viff.org/tixSYS/vifcguide/filmguide/prognote.php?ProgCo...
