On Cinema at the Buzzer (side event, summer 2023)

Post by women, fire and dangerous things »

I'm writing a tossups-only (academic) film side event which will be ready some time this summer. If there's interest and space, I could have it ready for CO. It will be an open-level tournament with tossups that are quite hard, but hard-capped at 7 lines. There will be 10 packets with the following distribution:

6 USA
4 Europe/Canada/Australia
4 Asia
1 rest of the world
5 miscellaneous

I'm aiming for representation on various levels - in particular, I'm planning to have more questions on silent cinema, documentaries, and avant-garde cinema than most sets generally have, but still having a healthy portion of questions on standard canonical fare.

Sounds fun, but what is this set's position on whether Star Trek 2 or Star Trek 4 was set in San Francisco?
