Re: Film & Video Maker Magazine
May I add my words of welcome and congratulations Martin. The printed magazine is a priceless asset of the IAC and I'm sure that you will guard it jealously.

Re: BIAFF 2022
Oh, no messing about with Jan, I think that 'the big fellow' has to keep on his toes!

Re: BIAFF 2022
Well done Jan, I do now have a little bit more idea of what the film means but it is still very obscure. The 'journey through life' does explain the boat trip but as for the musicians, they remain a mystery for me! The film maker comes over awfully well, he's obviously very intelligent and we can lo...

Re: BIAFF 2022
Oh Howard, didn't they show any of your films, why you didn't mention that before?

Re: BIAFF 2022
Martin, how can it be the "stand out film" for you if you don't understand what's going on? I can appreciate a meaningless film if it looks particularly beautiful, or it contains stimulating montages, but this had neither. Surreal yes, certainly that, but where's the point. I can agree wit...

Re: BIAFF 2022
Well done Jan, let us hope that all will be revealed! Willy l and Howard. Stars don't matter that much, it is an impossible hope that everyone can be satisfied. I personally could have complained loudly about my one star for "From The Balcony" (see it on my site) since many people love it!...

Re: BIAFF 2022
Willy, many thanks for your insightful analysis of Danny's Red Box. You are right, we both tend to hang on to our stories just that bit too long. However, when I put this to people who liked the film they all said, no, not too long at all, I think that the judges may have thought it was. The problem...

Re: BIAFF 2022
Willy, and others, your comments on the obscure nature of at least two of the leading films, is much appreciated and are indeed, educational. I was puzzled by them at first but have now begun to accept the fact that they are obscure, probably intentionally. Film viewers do like to be challenged, as ...

Re: BIAFF 2022
Tim, I was sitting with you and I suspect that the 'mumblings' emanated from us plus Jill of course. There was more than one film that we needed guidance on, although the production values in all of them were first rate, the themes were obscure to say the least. I think I'll try and make something s...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Willy, the whole point of a Film Festival is that films will be shown, preferably in a proper cinema. At last the IAC have arranged this for Birmingham 2022. It therefore follows that the venue of BIAFF has to be near a cinema. I'm always puzzled by the accent placed in the past on sightseeing the a...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Dave, I did remember that as I was writing but, I did it reluctantly, and it didn't set the world alight and anyway, how do you know about it?

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Well John, I have worked alone making films for well over fifty years, with considerable success I'm glad to say. They are all documentaries or cut to music pieces so can be managed solo. I can't share the creative process I'm afraid, it is a very personal matter film making, as far as I'm concerned...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Willy, I echo Howard's congratulations, and look forward to seeing the film. You and I are now among the oldest active film makers and it's encouraging to see that not all old men are 'over the hill'.
