Re: BIAFF 2022
In September 2021 I said this on the forum: “I hope that everyone else is as excited and enthusiastic about BIAFF 2022 as I am!” In the end my enthusiasm was muted because of what Tim alluded to in his latest email. I remember the weekend with a mixture of emotions. I loved David Brezina’s films. Ge...

Re: BIAFF 2022
Thank you so much Willy for your excellent review of The Morality of Lying. Your generous comments are much appreciated. I did originally ask the writer Gary Cattell if he would be prepared to shorten the script down to about half its length for the film but he, and the actors, asked for the complet...

Re: BIAFF 2022
Willy, I really enjoyed your Scrabble film which was extremely well made and most entertaining. Since you mentioned me in your last message, I’d like to check whether you are aware that I sent nine films into the festival and six of them got 4 stars. However, not one of them was shown at the BIAFF w...

Re: BIAFF 2022
Tom I cannot, and will never, agree that experiencing BIAFF on Zoom is as good or better as being there with an audience at the live event. I feel isolated watching films via YouTube at home at Zoom events whereas a live audience reacts, laughs, gasps, and provides a communal experience… also the oc...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Just like I did with ‘Sean’ and ‘Why Remember?”, John. But Bob’s films are a lot funnier than mine!

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
I’ve read through the lists of awards and there are many films listed that I’m really looking forward to at BIAFF. Congratulations once more to the winning filmmakers. I miss Bob Lorrimer’s films and wonder whether Bob still makes his quirky comedies? The last one I remember was his Diamond award wi...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
It’s good to have more BIAFF films being shown online Tuesday to Thursday but in my opinion online screenings can never match the experience of seeing films with a live audience.

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Huge congratulations on your 5 star award for your Scrabble film Willy! You also deserve a quadruple word score for the title The Fall of Icarus. Well done.

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Hello Willy, it’s great to read your message! Actually Ken Wilson is about 6 weeks older than me. My 70th birthday will be on 15th May. Last year I got a Diamond award for Conrad and 5 stars for Sean. Perhaps I should have made more films with boys’ names in the title for this year! I had previously...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Six 4 star films. Two 3 star films. One 2 star film. Nothing being shown at the BIAFF weekend. I have one 4 star film being shown online on the Tuesday evening but nobody will convince me that this is as good as having the film shown at the live event sitting watching it on a big screen with an audi...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
In years gone by this thread would now be buzzing with comments and discussions about the BIAFF results which all went out to the filmmakers yesterday. This forum has gone lifeless, dormant. Hardly anybody bothers with it anymore. Pity.

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Ok thanks Michael. Yes I’ll carry on. I must admit that making films is what I enjoy doing the most.

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Thanks Michael. I’ll have to get used to the idea that I’ve peaked (last year) and the only way now is down. I might scale back my filmmaking now and let more youngsters take over. A couple of people have today suggested that I send in too many films. Something for me to think about.
