Even if you've seen every episode of Game of Thrones, you'd be forgiven if you didn't remember exactly what happened to every character in season five. After all, the last episode aired in June of last year, which is practically a lifetime ago with today's pop culture attention span. Benny Fine and Emily Tang give you a rapid-fire, single-take refresher in the video below before season six debuts on Sunday night.

What follows is an exchange between Josh Timmermann (a fellow critic and Vancouver resident, who you may recall from this) and I, wherein we discuss the Vancouver International Film Festival and its individual parts, a chance to color outside the lines a bit and discuss the ins and outs of our festival experiences.

Adam Cook: I’ve been attending Viff since 2008—and you’ve been attending since 2007—so it seems kind of safe to say we’re well on our way to being veterans of the festival; although, this claim is humbled when encountering someone like Chuck Stephens—a member of this year’s Dragons & Tigers jury—who has been coming (from out of town, no less) for something like twenty years. However, five years of Viff-going has equipped me with a knack for knowing how to approach the festival, how to navigate the programming—and,...

Emily Tang's beautiful, smart, and moving Perfect Life is not only one of my favorite Viff films of 2008, but one of my favorite films period (I don't keep a list, I just know that the memorable ones must be the ones I like most), and as far as I can tell, it has received no semblance of a North American release since then.

Chinese Indies Struggle Abroad Boasting A Wide Array of entries at Biff this year — including films by Zhang Yuan, Wang Ping, Lou Ye and Emily Tang, among others — independent Chinese filmmakers have again shown themselves to be a force in global cinema.

Boasting a wide array of entries at Biff this year – including films by Zhang Yuan, Wang Ping, Lou Ye and Emily Tang, among others – independent Chinese filmmakers have again shown themselves to be a force in global cinema. But there’s a missing link there: most, if not all, of these directors are heavily reliant on international sales companies to bring their work onto the global stage. “It’s true there aren't that many important strong Asian sales companies – and there is almost none in China, where you mostly have companies selling their own films,” said Isabelle Glachant,
