Located in the heart of the Canadian Prairies, Edmonton is a city that loves movies, and is reported to be the number one per capita movie rental city in Canada. The Edmonton International Film Festival satisfies Edmontonians’ insatiable desire for quality cinema each autumn by delivering a slate of outstanding independent films from around the globe. The 2009 EIFF took place September 25- October 3, and B-Side’s Festival Genius schedule was there to catch the buzz.

Here are just a few of the top feature films from the Edmonton International Film Festival as rated by Festival Genius users:

It Might Get Loud (4.4/5 stars) - Directed by Davis Guggenheim. Featured review by user Sylvia – Sharon: “It’s a love story between three men and their guitars. It goes back to where it all began, their influences and first guitars. I love the twinkle in Jimmy Page’s eyes when he plays, even after all these years. I would highly recommend this movie. It makes you just wish you were at the final session.”

Winnebago Man (4.4/5 stars) - Directed by Ben Steinbauer. Featured review by user nweighill: “This was a lot of fun and the Q&A was as much fun as the film. It made me think that behind every piece of stupidity we see daily in the media there are real people who have their own story!”

Sticky Fingers (4.2/5 stars) – Directed by Ken Scott, starring Aure Atika, Claude Legault, Jean Pierre Bergeron, Patrice Robitaille and Roy Dupuis. Featured review by user FelixandOscar: “A witty and entertaining film. Smart and funny. It made me laugh and want to go on a pilgrimage.”
