Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
I agree with you, Tim. I am very happy about the things Albert has written. I was totally wrong. My apologies, Albert.!!!! Albert wrote: "Although the subject matter is not for me"... I "translated" it by: "although it's not my taste"... , but that was not the end of hi...

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
Many thanks, Albert. You have watched "Hubertus" with a sharp eye. I agree with your remark about the zoom. That's only 2 or 3 seconds. Length of the film is 19min30. But I appreciate that you have told me this. If I would edit "Hubertus" again I would delete that zoom. I am also...

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
The English top-judge also wrote: "From 30 years I've aways claimed that any judge who says the film is too long has no right to be a judge. It's the sloppiest get-out line in any review. It might apply in the one minute competition, but apart from that it does not apply. Every film is exactly ...

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
I received feedback from a BIAFF top-judge some weeks ago. Two pages, Michael, but I will only copy the first two sentences: "Willy, you have produced a mini-masterpiece, really you have. "Hubertus" is a most remarkable film, full to the brim with gorgeous variety, super photography, ...

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
Yes, I remember that once you received one star, Michael, but certainly it was not for "Hounds and the Huntsman". Imagine, they would have killed your hunting-dogs. I always know which movies would have a chance to deserve an award. That's also what you said some years ago, Michael. Vera h...

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
Many thanks for saying this, Dave. Good to hear that the UNICA-judges will not be baffled by unusual scenes. But "Elise" is just very entertaining. There is no reason to be baffled. Only to be surprised. I have heard that there will be three judges at Unica. Is that right? I remember Zeist...

My friend Werner Haegeman has sent a message to me with 'Good News'. His movie "Elise at the Seaside' (3 stars at BIAFF) has been selected for UNICA in Poland.

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
I have always enjoyed making documentaries or eductional films. For BIAFF they needed to be subtitled, of course. That's a big disadvantage for foreigners. I can imagine that judges are tired after 7 or 8 movies and then they have to watch a subtitled film of 19 minutes, even with enough silent mome...

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
Albert, you are another lucky man. I have never had a chat with you, but I know you are a VIP in the IAC. Last night I was in my club. My friends told me that attending funerals has become one of their weekly "duties". That's the hard reality. But of course there are also people who reach ...

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
Dear Michael, You still have the energy to do quite a lot of things physically at the age of 89. You are very lucky. I hope you will reach the age of 100, also because you are the best filmmaker in the world. And I am grateful for the things you did for me in 2007. We also have things in common. Our...

Dear Martin, First of all congratulations to you. "Film and Video Magazine" is great. I always enjoy it. With pleasure I read all the articles. In the latest issue I was very interested in the article by Ken Wilson: "Is Filmmaking Fun?" I can't miss the magazine. That's one of th...

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
Do not be worried, Martin. I feel embarrassed when reading your message. I called Werner two hours ago, but he is out. Anyway, I am sure that he will keep making films, also for BIAFF. Do you remember the interview with me in your "Film and Video Maker" of August 2023? He said : "I am...
