Camera Equipment missing, believed stolen
Important Message From Brighton-based Fractured Films On Friday 7th August Fractured Films hired out an extensive package of equipment including their extremely expensive Red One camera (serial number #1083). Unfortunately the man who hired it has not returned it and cannot be found. If you come ac...

Ray and Fraught - Sounds like it's time you two gave it a go. Even a simple article will take you a day - can you spare the time? tom. Hi Tom, I gave it a go -- two goes in the past year, in fact. In one case a chunk was missing. Later, another chap wrote an article on the same subject of DVD/CD fi...

I am afraid I agree with fraught. The articles in the magazine are often terrible. Technical articles are poor, with the writer having a basic misunderstanding of what he is trying to write about. There are articles about multi-thousand pound cameras and equipment which none of us need. It would mak...

I think it is more important to record our own local history -- never mind competitions -- because history is not just something you read about in dusty books (as it was when I was at school!): history is being made now! There is plenty of opportunity to make films for local charities and voluntary ...

About your offer to judge: -- A wonderful gesture. However, I think that most of us would not want to encourage masochism or self-harm! (Just joking)! Many writers here probably did not enter BIAFF. It was a bit expensive for some of us, and with so many entries there is only a small chance of being...

The trouble with judges` opinions is that they are just opinions. Just that! I think that judges are influenced by a lot of factors such as: do they know the entrant? Are they familiar with his/her work? That is just human nature -- after all when we go to the cinema we are influenced by who the dir...

I went to a meeting last night of the Baird Initiative. A lot of young people there, all keen to make films. I spoke to some of them. They had, without exception, never heard of the IAC. So there`s your starting point (difficult as it may be to get the necessary outreach -- for want of a better term...

I think many UK young film-makers have professional ambitions and would not be seen dead in an amateur club. Next month I am going to a meeting with Jo Nolan, Director of Screen South, the regional branch of the Film Council, and I will try to raise this point. In many activities you have to serve y...
