As the great Bong Joon-ho famously said, “Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films”—but for this movie, the barrier is even shorter. Although it’s technically in Mandarin, Days has so little dialogue that director Tsai Ming-liang requested it not be subtitled. You’ll get it regardless of your grasp of Mandarin: it’s “slow cinema” that’s minimalism meant for meditation. More on the film’s plot here.
When: Tuesday August 24 at 8:20 p.m. and Thursday August 26 at 5:00 p.m.Where: VIFF Centre Studio TheatreCost: From $10More Info: viff.org

There are no physical things to seek in this scavenger hunt, which makes it a heck of a lot easier. The effort to support Steveston businesses just requires that you take photos to enter—the more pics you take and hashtag #stevestonhunt, the more entries you’ll get to win restaurant gift cards and hotel stays. It’s put on by the Joseph Richard Group, who owns the Buck and Ear and Steveston Hotel (both scavenger destinations, obviously—full list here).
