IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

I too was asked by David to send a video intro to a film that is being shown but, quite honestly, he gave so little time for this that I ignored the request. Such a hassle to revive camera and batteries after a long lay off, set up, film, download, edit, export file, compress to H264 for transmissi...

Thanks for the nice words Jill and it was great chatting after lunch.Was a pleasure to chat to everybody and was quite odd to have peoples whos films iv watched and really enjoyed sitting in the audience listening to me talk,I'd have happily swapped places. You have a really great set up and support...

Just a quick one I am going along to do a talk on filmmaking here, if anybody there who iv met before make sure you say hello and if we havnt met lets say hello anyway and talk film

Hey Jill great to see you and Julian and every body else at the gala evening it was good fun.Looking forward to CEMRIAC should be fun don't ask any difficult questions as you know I'm just winging it lol. Enjoyed watching films from the IAC and hopefully will see more people entering BIAFF and more ...

Was at this years Birmingham film fest yesterday watching as many films as possible as usual and saw films from BIAFF members Howard Smith and Julian Austwick (My own was shown today). Good to see them on the huge screen.The festival this year is a massive ten days long and all screenings are free t...

Im entered hopefully see you in stratford

I just like the general back coverness about it.When i look at the back cover it inspires me to think of other great back covers.The new one is a bit milleniull for me.
I fully expect with new fangled back cover that subscriptions will probably half.

I liked the old back cover is there any chance we can get it back please

I was amazed at BIAFF how many people were watching films that were not theirs.It was really cool a lot of festivals theres three people watching a short it finishes then 5 or 6 more come in for next one and so on.

Jon, I'm sure Micahel will respond shortly (although if he doesn't, his films are here https://www.michaelslowefilms.com ) Before too long many of the films entered for BIAFF 2019 will join those of previous years on the official BIAFF website: www.biaff.org.uk and earlier years on the IAC website ...

Jon, I have in past years, when a film gets decent awards,entered a number of commercial and other fringe festivals. There are a limited few where, provided you opt for it, you get a critique, and these are generally well worth getting. However, as you point out, the vast majority merely send a sta...

The judges comments were a welcome change to what you usualy get from festivals which is a copy and paste reply either stating yr film was great but didnt make or your film was great and we are showing it. We as a team appreciated the fact we got not 1 but two lots of judges comments and they brough...

Great weekend at BIAFF in Birmingham Firstly got to thank the organisers on a fantastic event and the most friendly and welcoming festival i have attended. Really good to meet and chat with Tim,Michael,Dave,John,Jan and many others. Watched around 40 films and enjoyed all of them. I support the fest...

I was impressed by the camerawork in the first. it looked like the cameraman was right there in the ring with them. It also looked like theye were really fighting. If it was staged it was really impressive, if it was real then 'd be surprised if the cameraman didn't come a cropper once in a while. ...

The first one my friend who had the camera was/is a photagrapher who was keen to do filming.

The second one film division were quite experienced in corporate work but i think was their2nd or third short
