Re: A Bunch of Amateurs
I promise this is the last time I will write this; a start will be a specific student section of BIAFF juried by academics and industry professionals with generous rewards. Ned, I agree with Michael - if it's what you (and many others believe) then you owe it to yourself/"the cause" to ar...

Re: A Bunch of Amateurs
This rather sadly, the screenings will be largely on sites such as YouTube. It is not the same as a large screen presentation, but that seems to be the way it is all going. is the bigger picture . We can whinge al we like about clubs not attracting members and speculate as to what we need to do to ...

Re: A Bunch of Amateurs
Controversial perhaps: I think the film will do untold damage to struggling clubs - at least in terms of recruitment. The few people who will watch it (apart from existing members of clubs) are potential members and this will have killed them off. Few will watch past the very slow first few minutes ...

Re: A Bunch of Amateurs
Yes, thanks Ken. I look forward to seeing the actual quote about Oklahoma's film in context!

Re: Playscore2
Tim, I did say 'Classical music' which by normal definition is all well over 70 years old. I mentioned Brahms music as an example.....he died in 1897 Fair enough, if you're talking Classical as in the Classical period rather than broad terms. I look forward to hearing some of what you achieve. It s...

Re: Playscore2
Not wishing to take the wind out of your sails, Albert, but whilst this may free you of the copyright of the performance/recording, it does not affect the mechanical copyright (ie the copyright of the composition) which exists for 70 years after the composer/lyricists death for anything not in the p...

Re: Entering competitions..
It is a problem today to find a way to present our films. I think what you mean is theres a problem of how to present our films as we (or some of us) want them to be seen - projected onto a large screen to a live, captive audience. This is true, and, as has been pointed out elsewhere in this thread...

Re: Entering competitions..
Gaining YouTube views is a bit of a dark art.. One way I discovered by accident: Find a very niche subject and make the best film (there won't be many others) about it. "Tuckpointing" is now has over a quarter of a million views. It will most likely only appear to a limited number of peop...

Re: FVM October 2022 issue
QR codes seems to be an issue. To my mind they are fantastic as a means of providing a link to further information about a subject or a product. A no brainer for that! If we include them, it sort of makes sense to have them as link to films but purleeeease keep URLs. Anyone who's read any of my crit...

Re: FVM October 2022 issue
Browsing the new issue. It's certainly different and a livlier than previous issues - at least as far as editorial goes. Nice to see some bigger pictures in there - that will please Ned & Tom, at least. Not sure about the background for the laurels/festivals article - it's a bit busy and I can s...

Re: Archiving AMPS
Is it available for free and to all? Or just academics and/or at a cost.

Re: 60 years on !
Clever film. And more relevant now than ever. But I'm more optimistic that the ingenuity of the clever members of the human race will find a way to overscome the problems. And, more importantly, find a way to get the governments to listen to the people rather than the big corporations. The only fly ...

Elvis
OK, slightly off topic, but if anyone fanclies joining in... I just went to see Elvis. So many things really well done, including some excellent acting, but ... it did nothing for me at all.It felt about an hour too long and I didn't really get drawn in at all. Whilst I enjoyed the early Sun Records...
