You can laugh if you want to though.

The International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) is holding its' annual congress and Summer Film School in Pretoria this year and I'm going to the film school to learn at the feet of the masters there.

Damn ~ I'm almost 44 and I'm going back to school? What would the teachers who wrote me off entirely in high school think about this? They would probably go

but I'm looking forward to it.

Who's laughing? It's cool to be among your peers. I bet you'll be an integral part of many a learned discussion. Enjoy!

Thanks Newt: I have to also give a class on SA film history too, so that should be fun.

I went back to school when I was in my 30s. I can see myself going back again at some point. Good luck!

Thank you sir ~ something tells me I'm going to like it. If I do, I'll apply for a bursary to study there in 2012.

Well done, sir! Stop learning, start dying, I always say.

I'm proud Trev but I don't want to see you in a schoolboy outfit.

That is also something I wouldn't like to see.

Wow, Trevor, that's really awesome! I hope it goes well. Good luck!

Good for you, Trevor. Keep learning ... keep growing, eh ... your mind that is.

When I start droning on about SA censorship, my underpants and the undiscovered wonders of the place I work in, all you'll hear will be the sounds of many heads hitting many desks.

Thanks, Peter: I just checked the dates and I will be away from work for two weeks.

Yippee!

Thank you, kind lady.

My mind is a fungus when it comes to film: just keeps on growing.
