Re: BIAFF 2022

Tom I cannot, and will never, agree that experiencing BIAFF on Zoom is as good or better as being there with an audience at the live event. I feel isolated watching films via YouTube at home at Zoom events whereas a live audience reacts, laughs, gasps, and provides a communal experience… also the oc...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

Just like I did with ‘Sean’ and ‘Why Remember?”, John. But Bob’s films are a lot funnier than mine! 😂

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

I’ve read through the lists of awards and there are many films listed that I’m really looking forward to at BIAFF. Congratulations once more to the winning filmmakers. I miss Bob Lorrimer’s films and wonder whether Bob still makes his quirky comedies? The last one I remember was his Diamond award wi...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

It’s good to have more BIAFF films being shown online Tuesday to Thursday but in my opinion online screenings can never match the experience of seeing films with a live audience.

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

Huge congratulations on your 5 star award for your Scrabble film Willy! You also deserve a quadruple word score for the title The Fall of Icarus. Well done.

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

Hello Willy, it’s great to read your message! Actually Ken Wilson is about 6 weeks older than me. My 70th birthday will be on 15th May. Last year I got a Diamond award for Conrad and 5 stars for Sean. Perhaps I should have made more films with boys’ names in the title for this year! I had previously...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

Six 4 star films. Two 3 star films. One 2 star film. Nothing being shown at the BIAFF weekend. I have one 4 star film being shown online on the Tuesday evening but nobody will convince me that this is as good as having the film shown at the live event sitting watching it on a big screen with an audi...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

In years gone by this thread would now be buzzing with comments and discussions about the BIAFF results which all went out to the filmmakers yesterday. This forum has gone lifeless, dormant. Hardly anybody bothers with it anymore. Pity.

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

Ok thanks Michael. Yes I’ll carry on. I must admit that making films is what I enjoy doing the most.

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

Thanks Michael. I’ll have to get used to the idea that I’ve peaked (last year) and the only way now is down. I might scale back my filmmaking now and let more youngsters take over. A couple of people have today suggested that I send in too many films. Something for me to think about.

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

Six 4 star films.
Two 3 star films.
One 2 star film.
I wonder if this is a record number of entries from a filmmaker in a single year?
I didn’t quite make it to 5 stars this year but not to worry there’s always next year!
Congratulations to all the top winners!

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

But Michael, I bet you didn’t predict or expect your 1 star award 2 years ago! I realise that I value the BIAFF awards more highly than many filmmakers. For me, BIAFF is the main incentive for making films as it provides goals to aim for. My Diamond award from last year means a lot to me and I’m hop...

The wait for the results is agonising. Hopefully we’ll receive them very soon…

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

Michael, I can’t afford the massive bribe that would be needed for that to happen!
I’m hoping the results will start to be sent out from Monday 21st March. Time will tell.
