	TAKE ONE: Banff Television Festival - 6/8-13/03 - festival wraps
		IT WOULD BE UNFAIR to say that the outstanding moment at the 2003 Banff Television Festival was the sight of Astral Media president, John Riley, at the podium in a wife-beater T-shirt introducing the Award of Excellence to recipient, David Chase, creator of The Sopranos; but it would also be true.
		Funding, or the Canadian Television Fund lack thereof, notwithstanding, the influx of Banff 2003's 1,800 delegates into the happy mountain town was an event happily welcomed by the locals who have been acutely aware of how tourism has been affected by the weakened U.S. dollar.
		But Banff 2003 is a Canadian festival to the core and the volume level of said murmurings never reached a distinct level.

	Playback - Articles - Special Report on the Banff Television Festival: 1997 Banff Rockie Award Nominees - Canada
		In an eye-crossing, jet lag-inducing calendar of international events which includes endless cycles of acronyms and enough festivals to choke an elk, Banff is a relative oasis of calm.
		Television, often dismissed by the critics as hackneyed and asinine, gets treated to "artsy" dialogue too often reserved for film.
		As the uniquely coprod-fertile festival broadens to cover more of the world more of the year, Banff's tradition of friendly irreverence and casual squeaky-clean Canadian-ness will be its best defence against any global growing pains which might challenge its collaborative consciousness.

		Cleese, who splits his time between England and California, says the only good places to work are HBO and Canadian television, which he believes still feels it has a public service ethos.
		He's not sure he'll ever try another comedy television series and notes he has a range of opportunities, but can't seem to find an arena that gets him excited about working.
