This year, the programme for the Canary Wharf Film Festival is bigger and better than ever. With so much to do and so many different films, it might be tricky for time-strapped folks to know the best things to check out. It might be, were it not for Spoonfed – gosh we're helpful! Below are our highlights for CWFF 09.
Films
A Film About Poo
Directed by Emily Howells and Anne Wilkins, this is quite literally a film about poo – sounds really rather bizarre. If you're super lucky maybe Alexander Brener will turn up. (Mix: UK)
Hairytale
CWFF scoops the World Premiere of this fascinating documentary telling of a hairdresser-turned-inventor by the name of Ronn, who makes products out of human hair. Hmmm… (Mix: UK)
Thorns and Silk
Women defy Islamic gender stereotypes over four separate stories from the West Bank. An intriguing exploration of a highly-charged topic. (Mix: International)
Next Floor
This Canadian short was a winner at the 2008 Toronto Film Festival for its combination of the absurd and the grotesque. This is a perfect example of a simple idea that is told in an overly elaborate style - a visual feast! (Showcase)
The Br(e)aking Point
An examination of the powerlessness of train drivers when they know they are about to crash but can do nothing about it. This award-winning short tells of Milenko Dzever whose train crashed, killing 23 people. (Focus: Serbia)

Big Film Quiz
A big bold bonanza of a film quiz. There's booze, snacks and a high chance of some singing AND some dancing. With big-screen, big-sound and live rounds like 'That Guy Who Was In Stuff', this should be a riot!

Shoot Canary Wharf
A day of team-based photographic fun courtesy of the innovative folks at Shoot Experience. Form teams, explore Canary Wharf, take photos, win prizes. What else could you want?
Golden Canary Awards
The exciting climax of this year's Canary Wharf Film Festival. For only £8 you get to attend the glittering evening, eat an array of nibbles and sample some tasty drinks courtesy of the kind folks at Courvoisier. You even get to take home a goody bag - brilliant!
