The New York South Asian International Film FestivalDecember 10th, 2005Lisa Participated in the 'Emerging Filmakers' Panel as well as screened her film. For more information, go to: SAIFF Website St. John's Women's International Film FestivalOctober 22nd, 2005"Trailblazing" was screened. The following quote was taken from the festival's program: "Jill of all trades, Hoffe turns in her first extended film with her usual high standards. Indeed, Trailblazing is aptly titled, for it blazes a cinematic journey for Hoffe herself, who journeyed to beautiful Nepal to research the heavily male-dominated adventure tourism business and the persistently brave female guides who bushwhack through the gender barriers. In particular, she focuses on the firm of 3 Sisters, who give comfort to visiting female trekkers and in turn train new ones. Not surprisingly, and given Hoffe's well trained eye, the documentary captures the raw beauty of the Himalaya region, as well as the complex infrastructure of competitive demands that brace its development. It also illuminates a progressive social network in the works, with the spectacular mountains as omniscient participants. Take a hike to this premier screening and help us celebrate Hoffe's achievement. " CBC Radio InterviewOctober 22, 2005Interview with Anne Budgell For CBC Radio One's "Radio Noon".
