We're now over half-way through the festival, and the quality continues with today's picks:
1:30 p.m. – Second Skin (Isabel Bader) – Pictured above.
4:00 p.m. – The English Surgeon (Isabel Bader)
7:00 p.m. – FlicKeR (Royal) – A look at the life of Brion Gysin (friend of William S. Burroughs), who created the Dream Machine, a device intended to make you dream but that might just cause an epileptic fit. So! Caution if you're susceptible.
7:00 p.m. – At the Death House Door (Isabel Bader) – A "death-house" chaplain in Texas met one convicted man, and became convinced he was innocent. This examines what happened.

9:30 p.m. – The Lost Colony (ROM) – The Sukhum Primate Centre in the former Soviet republic of Abkhazia is the world's oldest monkey laboratory. We hope the monkeys were/are being treated well!
