Ladislav Františ
It is with a heavy heart that I pass on the sad news that Ladislav Františ passed away last night after a long illness. Ladislav (or Lad), as many amateur filmmakers will know, was the long-standing director of the ARSfilm festival (Amateur Art Film Festival) in October and SeniorForum (for film-mak...

Re: BIAFF 2016 - who's entering?
“I have an entry ... it is already 'entered' ... Is it too long? Is it too short? Have I entered too early? Will it be watched before the Judge's have lunch or after their lunch? Will they understand the shot in which my thumb is in the frame.......?” (IAC Forum: BIAFF 2016 - who's entering? Bob Lor...

Re: green screen lighting.
Dave Watterson: “Try to get a light above and behind them just enough to overpower any green.” Of all the advice that others may offer, Dave’s single sentence above is THE key to successful green-screen filming. I’ve also done much green-screen filming outdoors using only natural daylight for the sc...

Re: Hi guys
Making a film about your grueling attempts to find and buy a farm/small or holding should translate into some quite fascinating, John: a documentary based on your personal experiences rather than on those of a third party. Also, if you do a voice-over, rather than use captions, the memories of your ...

Re: UNICA Medal for Christiane
Well done, Christiane - your campaigning zeal on behalf of non-commercial filmmakers is awesome and your UNICA Gold Medal is long overdue and all the more richly deserved.

Re: WILLY VAN DER LINDEN has been very ill
That’s wonderful news, knowing that Willy knows that things medical are much clearer now, and less worrying, and that he can eradicate from his mind any lingering thoughts of the worst-case scenario and that soon, post operations, he will be up and about and able to see the way ahead again with rene...

Re: WILLY VAN DER LINDEN has been very ill
Thank you, Dave, for keeping us up to date with the latest on Willy’s ill health and for the inspiring postscript explaining that none of this, apparently, is going to stop this dauntless, mettlesome filmmaker from completing his latest production in good time for BIAFF 2014. Wishing great success f...

Re: End of the consumer camcorder
Peter Copestake (26 September): “I look forward to seeing a film, not just footage, taken with a phone.” Peter, there is already an ever-increasing opportunity to see such mobile phone productions at prestigious film festivals around the world. For instance, the Czech Republic’s 53-year-old, longest...

Re: WILLY VAN DER LINDEN has been very ill
Willy, as Mesmer famously noted: There is only one illness and one cure.
We all know what the cure is in your case.
No-one makes better films about England and the English than you.

Re: Internet Movie Database (IMDb)
Thanks, Geoff - that's just the sort of advice/feedback I was looking for.
I'll have a look at the links you've given when I have a moment but you've basically answered all my questions.
You've even pre-empted something I was about to ask!
Ian

Internet Movie Database (IMDb)

Re: YOUR BIAFF 2013 RESULTS
“I've received the letter today with my results. Both my films have been given 3 stars, the same as my first BIAFF entry in 2007, and I can't conceal my disappointment... I'm thinking now that I never will achieve the heights of the 5-star and Diamond awards.” (Howard-Smith, Mon 18 March, 2:09 pm) ...
