Hot Events this week: MOV-ie in the Park & VAFF's Mind your Bidness

By Midya Tsoy

So it's Monday, and you've either had a good or bad start to the working week. Summer's almost over, and for some of us, school is just around the corner. Before we say our farewells to Summer, we should all take in as much goodness as possible.

What do you say to a picnic and movie in the park, both at the same time? The Museum of Vancouver and Potluck Cafe and Catering are putting on a showing of the film Eat, Drink, Man, Woman | Yin Shi Nan Nu at 9PM in Vanier Park, just behind the Museum of Vancouver (1100 Chestnut St) on August 23, 2010.

Eat, Drink, Man, Woman is a Mandarin film (with English subtitles) by Ang Lee about an aging master chef and his three single daughters' elaborate Sunday dinners, complicated love lives, family dysfunctions and food.

Gather your friends, roll out your blanket and enjoy the free, food-themed movie Eat, Drink, Man, Woman, presented by the Museum of Vancouver, Potluck Cafe and Catering, and Horizon Distributors. Bike valet will be provided by Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition.

Still can't let go of summer? Join Vancouver Asian Film Festival on Wednesday August 25 as they present Mind your Bidness: a one of a kind live auction and dance party. Support the 14th Annual Vancouver Asian Film Festival and Canadian independent filmmakers at the Biltmore Cabaret at 8PM.

For one night only, tons of goods and services, performances and persons will be auctioned off for unbeatable rates. The silent auction will include everything from food and wine to local art and clothing. Make sure to stick around for the after-auction dance party with DJ Tyler Fedchuck. This is the first year a fundraising event of this nature is being held in support of the Vancouver Asian Film Festival.

The Vancouver Asian Film Festival (VAFF) is a non-profit organization that provides a forum for independent North American filmmakers to showcase their work to both Asian and non-Asian audiences. VAFF seeks to foster an understanding and appreciation of today's independent North American Asian filmmakers, while providing a springboard to larger film festivals. The Vancouver Asian Film Festival Society provides a cultural bridge between the Asian and non-Asian communities as well as the Asian communities themselves.

Attendees please RSVP in advance.

Come out and support the independent Canadian arts and culture scene! All proceeds will go towards the Vancouver Asian Film Festival and Canadian independent filmmakers.
