On Friday morning our newly elected president (Lillian) and I met with Shelley who was the winner of the raffle that we ran over the 3 Clubs Days on Campus. The prize was a brand new DVD of the 2006 Toronto Independent Film Festival people’s choice award winner, Bella. Congratulations Shelley!

I reckon Bella is a magnificent film, currently number one in my list of faves. Here’s a very brief summary from a blog post I wrote a while ago.
It is a film that we all need to see. It is the story of one day in the life of a young waitress who has discovered that she is pregnant, and her workmate, the caring, quiet and thoughtful chef who spends the day with her. The acting is superb, the film captivating and the score riveting. I won’t tell you anymore – I knew little enough when I began watching, save that it was a “pro-life” film. But I’ll leave it up to you to determine what sort of film it is.
