The festival schedule includes a diverse range of films, films reflecting an eclectic variety of subjects, viewpoints and styles. In other words, there is something tor everyone at the festival and there are only six days of the event left. Here arc reports on five festival films definitely worth seeing: Au Re voir Les Enfant s is a beautiful, haunting film by French director Louis Malle. It opened the festival Friday night at the Capitol Theatre, and will only be shown once, on Saturday, in Park Gty. Malle based Les Enfants', on an incident from his own childhood. C Promised Land, a film by Michael Hoffman, was shot on location in Utah and is also basd on a real event. The story introduces three small-tow- n high school catches with them at seniors, then up later. This elegantly Christmas two years Register for '88 crafted movie about promises and delusions features an outstanding performance by Keifer Sutherland. Dear America is a different kind of documentary about the Vietnam War, a documentary told in the words of men and women who served there. Filmmaker Bill Couturie combined film footage taken during the war with readings of letters sent home by American soldiers and nurses. Cantila is one in a series of 16 Argentine films being featured in this year's festival. Camila tells the story of a woman from the 19th century Buenos Aires aristocracy who fell in love with a priest. The Brave Little Toaster animated film for both children and adults. The story about a group of household appliances who set off to find their master sounds too trivial for anyone over age 10. But don't be fooled. Despite a few moments of heavy-hande- d silliness, this is a truly funny and entertaining movie. full-leng- th nt long-abse- favorite comestible delicacy all free. In short, you, too, can participate in the 1988 Chronicle Pizza-TastiFestival. At 1 1 ng a.m. Thursday, five lucky University of Utah students will gather at the Chronicle ariwcrfch from page eight that's fine. But they have a wicked division known as creative writing, where they pretend they want to teach you to write. False. Creative writing schools exist for three purposes'only: as vanity mirrors for the professors, as money for the professors and as guillotines ready at the slightest sniff of a real writer! And it's not restricted to universities. We're becoming a nation of rank Philistines, worshipping materialism, finance and the computer. Hardly an American cares about beauty anymore; it's not taught. Universities think they're in opposition to this disease. So thinking, they're only kidding themselves and authentic literature, anyway. The interest is all for pugilistic and philistine trash. If Vonnegut comes out with a tired supernumerary "satire" on raw sex in Manhattan or if he describes the length of penises and the width of vaginas in northeastern Wisconsin, wow, it's "literature." Furthermore, if some historical novelist comes out with a mechanical, artificial novel on the Brigham Young period, and if it contains the right measure of polygamy and dummies lifted from a file box to serve as "characters," Utahns swarm to it. But if an ordinary living Utahn busts his ass to make the very kind of literature that universities base their whole damned departments of English on to hell with him. Ditch him. Departments of English want you to become scholars and teachers, and two-dimensio- nal you. University of Utah graduate Keith Moore is a freelance writer and nm'elist and a past contributor to such U. publications as Western Humanities Review.
