Re: UNICA 2023
It was a wonderful moment for the Brits in the hall. We had an inkling that it might get one of the rare Goods ... But never dared hope it would take the top award. I have to say that since it was 30 degrees heat and the hall lacked aircon ... the closing scene in the rain won even more tears than u...

Re: UNICA 2023
I'll try to keep you posted. Our hotel has wifi, I'll bring a tablet ... the problem will me remembering to do so and being sober enough to use an on-screen keyboard.

Re: Open Film Night Summer Chalenge
Unfortunately I could not watch the films ... but my concern is that such contests are about the mechanics of getting a film made with content and any artistry coming second.

Re: What is the difference between an AV and a film?
Ah ... my mistake. When I say something like that at a club, I go on to explain that I believe every film should take the audience on a journey. Most journey-films are stories some are documentaries but as Howard points out there are occasional films which are more about opening our minds. A Reflect...

Re: What is the difference between an AV and a film?

The discussion reminds me of the arguments about what percentage of archive or non-original film could be in a festival entry.

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?
Great! So will Jan and I. I am sure Howard, Ken and Carol will be there. Michael Slowe usually puts in an appearance. Willy and Vera may make it, though travelling is harder for him these days. We know Simon Sumner and Mike Whyman will be doing there best to get more bums on seats ... and Martin Eva...
