Re: IAC Website
Martin, the magazine that you refer to, Moviemaker, was the successor to Movie Maker which in the 60s and 70s was published by Fountain Press and edited by Tony Rose and Alan Cleave. It was the mainstay of non commercial film making and promoted and ran the wonderful competition called the Ten Best...

Re: Is electronic communication a young persons thing?
Unfortunately it's the way humanity is going. Less and less face to face chat. Less speaking over the phone. We do online shopping so never converse with shopkeepers. We are all becoming bits and bytes. Texting each other....overuse of the thumb and forefinger will probably result in Arthritis as ha...

Re: Is electronic communication a young persons thing?
I use Facebook to keep in touch with what is going on in my village and
nearby Market town. Any road closures due to flooding to avoid etc.
Up and coming events that might be of interest and much else.

Festivals time limits
Like many here I enter films for many festivals. I think that I am right in saying that all of them set a time limit as to when a film was made. Mostly a film has to be made recently, within the last 2 years, or less ! As far as I can see, and I may have missed it in the rules, there is only one fes...

Re: Burlesque
My first dozen films were on 16 mm. No editing cuts at all as editing
was done 'in camera' !
The only 16mm splicing I have ever done is joining one 100 ft film to the next 100ft.
My editing these days is done using NCH Video Pad.

Touting for films
I have just had an email from a film festival inviting me to enter.
They said that they noticed a film of mine on the festival circuit and
invited me to enter it in their own festival with a 50% discount !
Is this touting for films normal practice?
It's the first time this has happened to me.

Re: The weird world of Film Festivals
Regarding if one needs to be present when your film is shown..... If you write a published book or paint a picture and it's hung in a gallery, you will never meet the 'audience' for your work. The satisfaction is you have shown people you will never meet your work and hope that your work gave them s...

Abacus !!
Do you remember when in infants school the Abacus was used
as an aid to teaching Arithmetic ?
Here is my all dancing version of an Abacus.
The Brahms piano score was scanned from an old book of his music
using the App Playscore 2.

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
I also know that Albert is also one of the monuments in the IAC. That's way over the top, Willy. Many, many years ago I won a few IAC awards but It's old history. My long experience was/is in a very, very small area of animation. No cartoons, no arms and no legs ! But attempting to bring inanimate ...

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
Have just watched, "Hubertus". Although the subject matter is not for me, I admire the professional making of this film. The English commentary had an engaging delivery which added to the impact. The zoom shot at 11 minutes in seemed unnecessary. Static would have been more telling I think...

Zoom viewing count
Forgive my ignorance but I believe one can check a Zoom viewing count.
Are the numbers viewed for each BIAFF film, given anywhere either
on the night or later?

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
I am sure that I must be the first film maker to have had films rated all the way from bottom to top over the years. Correct me if I can be proved wrong someone. Sorry to disagree Michael, but I also join that exclusive band of the, 'Top to the Bottomers. The argument about stars gets me. The ONLY ...
