Saturday Sept 5

I was able to get to 4 movies today and saw a lot of celebs.

1. Suffragette--- About the early 1900s women in England who worked to get the vote for women. Well done!  It was introduced by the director & had Q & A after with female director, female writer and Meryl Streep who played a small but pivotal role. Very exciting to see/ hear her. Carrie Mulligan stars but couldn't come due to having a baby.

2. 45 Years--- about an English couple celebrating their 45 th anniversary --- but experiencing some personal struggle.

3 Spotlight--- about the Boston Globe exposee about the child abuse within the Catholic church. Michael Keaton  stars & was here for the Q & A. Cast includes Mark Ruffalo.

4. A tribute to Danny Boyle. He was honored by the festival with a montage of clips from his films, then an interesting interview with him. It was followed by the premiere of his new film: Steve Jobs. Wow!  Very fun!  Cast includes Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Jeff Daniels.
Present today were writer Aaron Sorkin, Winslet, Rogen as well as Steve Wozniak. Very cool.
Before the film Laura Linney walked past me en route to the movie.

Wonderful day.
