Thanks to the what it feels like for a boi blog, I found out last week about the Reelife short film festival, which is playing tonight at the Dendy Portside in Hamilton. (Click here to see the exact location).

Reelife is a showcase of 15 short films by young Australian filmmakers, and it’s only $14 general admission.

At 6pm there’s also the Best of British short film collection, and then at 8.00 pm the Reelife films begin.

The Adelaide Green Porridge Cafe hosts this week’s Carnival of Cities.

Brisbane Is Home’s collection of articles on Anzac Day, Australia’s national war-memorial public holiday, is one of the big features of the Carnival.

There’re also stories about:

A telephone box war in Christchurch, New Zealand

A stroll along a Sicily street.

Another stroll, this time from Covent Garden to Westminster in London.

The head of the Oracle database company is selling his house in Atherton, San Francisco. Unfortunately for him, he’s had to drop the price to only $US 16 million. Make an appointment now, first to see will buy!

Also in the SF Bay Area, Kathryn gives us lessons in love and public transport, and there’s some gorgeous photos of Muir Beach in Marin County.

From Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada, we have photos of ducks and the public market from Granville Island, and also a story of a nostalgic return.

Back to the USA, and we have photos from Seattle’s Wing Luke Asian Museum.

Finally, a sketch of Mt Pleasant, South Carolina, and words, pictures and video from the National Zoo in Washington, DC the Maryland/Baltimore Zoo.

So, strap on your armchair, and start travelling around the Carnival of Cities.
