Get your popcorn and take a seat for some of the best new films in the world. The St. Louis International Film Festival is underway and it's a movie lover's dream.

The impressive list of films, documentaries and short subjects (click here for the highlights) is augmented by special events, including a workshop at Noon, Saturday, November 11, at the Tivoli Theatre in the Loop on creating trailers and promos in the A/V marketplace; a 4 p.m. book signing on Saturday at Star Clipper in the Loop; and a new filmmakers forum on Sunday at noon. Monday and Tuesday, November 13-14, Kodak offers a "Stop By, Shoot Film" learning opportunity at the Centene Center for Arts and Education. Participants can learn how to use a 16 mm camera and shoot their own scene in less than 2 hours.

Tickets to the Festivals films, which are shown at the Tivoli, the Saint Louis Art Museum, Plaza Frontenac and Webster University, are $10 each at the individual box offices. Get the details at www.cinemastlouis.org.
