Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?

I hope they didn't mark it down just because they didn't like it. Whether we like a film or not shouldn't have anything to do with it (though I imagine we are all influenced by our likes and dislikes). Comedy has the biggest problem here. If you don't like the humour, how can you possibly tell if t...

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?

But "Elise", dear me. Imagine it will not be screened at BIAFF! Last year it was not shown either. And "Elise" (in my opinion) deserved more than 5 stars! And this time it is also entertaining for those who hate mysterious movies. It didn't need any subtitling nor any narration....

Re: Where next for the IAC?

I'm gonna make my suggestion again (which I have done a number of times in the past)... I've always said that written feedback on a BIAFF entry, should be provided to IAC Members only. BIAFF is one of only a handful of festivals in the world that provide written feedback for free, in fact it might ...

Willy, you should drop David at IAC HQ a line - you should have received it by now.

***BLUSHES*** Oo-er, thank you Jill. How lovely to get such positive feedback. Makes my midnight oil burn seem worth it.

All the best, Martin

Re: 14th Edinburgh Short Film Festival Open For Entries - International Showcases & Awards

Too late for the Jan/Feb FVM but I've left myself a note for the issue after which I start work on soon.

Trigg Morris, a dance club in Mid Cornwall

Received the request for information below. Thought I'd post it here first and then also in the letters page of the next issue which I'm presently knees deep in. Martin Hi Martin Excuse the informal approach, but your name was given to me by William Halsey in Cornwall, who suggested your network in ...

Re: Where next for the IAC?

For my four-penn'orth: Our world has changed. Dramatically. It is not just societies such as ours that are struggling. And, quite frankly, I don't see any great reversal of this trend any time soon. I feel we should concentrate on making BIAFF a major festival. Bums on seats, most importantly. Also ...

Re: Open Film Night Summer Chalenge

Unfortunately I could not watch the films ... but my concern is that such contests are about the mechanics of getting a film made with content and any artistry coming second. Am I wrong? And having fun. For most of us this is our hobby. A competition such as this challenge provides impetus and the ...

Re: August FVM

Has anyone yet worked which maps form the "undercurrent" of the pages? There was only a map beneath the pages of the article about SCMM with Kevin Billington. It was an open source map of the general Sutton Coldfield area. Not intended to be used for navigation purposes. Rather they are d...

Re: August FVM

I have received it. Many thanks. I like "Film & Video Maker". Can't miss it. Congratulations to the editor, his "staff", the regulars, etc... The contents is very interesting. I also love the Lay Out. The editor wrote in the introduction: "... "Milky Way". Thi...

Re: August FVM

Seems there has been a cock-up in the distribution - quite a few folks reporting that they got three copies. Dear me! It shouldn't be that difficult.

Anyway, they're here now and I hope you enjoy this issue.
