IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

It is always easy to understand Ken's messages and articles in "Film and Video Magazine". I always look forward to reading them. His style is simple. I like that. He also has the courage to tell us what he thinks. Vera and I went to our first "BIAFF" in 1998. It was in Buxton. We...

I think that all clubs are shrinking. Also in Belgium, Dave. Some days ago I started to write an article about my two clubs for "Film and Video Maker". I hope the editor will accept it for one of the coming issues. Club number one: It's not far. About 5 miles from my house. But of course I...

"Danny's Red Box" [/color] Congratulations, Michael! Your film was given 4 Stars at BIAFF last year, but it was awarded "Best Documentary" at a Professional Festival now. It is one of the films I will never forget. In the documentary Danny has a nice chat with passers-by at his ...

I attended UNICA three times: at Blankenberghe (Belgium), Zeist (The Netherlands) and Dortmund (Germany). Dortmund was certainly number one. The venue used to be a colliery. It closed down in 1966. Three years later it was recognized as Germany's first technical building monument of international im...

"We all have different views and opinions. We have different experiences, likes and dislikes, prejudices and more." These are wise words by Tomas Hardwick on this forum. I appreciate your opinion, John. Some weeks ago I sent an article about "The Milky Way" to the editor of &quo...

"Milky Way", film made by my friend Werner Haegeman, received 3 stars. That was quite a surprise. It received a score of 18 out of 20 at the "Belgian Festival". There is not much difference between the comments written by the BIAFF-judges and the comments written by the "Bre...

Yes, you are right, Jill. FVM has a professional look.

Hi all, At this moment I am in Goudhurst (The Garden of England, South East). Vera and I made a daytrip to London last week. Today we were in Windsor. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The day before yesterday I had a chat with Dave about all kinds of everything. I was surprised to hear that you will take over Mike's job, Martin. I wish you all success, but I would also like to take the opportunity to congratulate Mike Whyman. It is/ was very pleasant to work for him. I am not one...

Dear Howard, ... Maybe "The Morality of Lying" deserved a place in a higher category... That would have been a world of difference in your mind, but I am sure you know that the number of movies that you have made should not be a criterion, nor the name and fame that you have acquired. Now,...

You've been productive again Michael. I have seen your name three or four times. Only Howard-Smith can compete with you. You both show that you enjoy making films. Your movies are completely different, but they are more than worth seeing. What do I think about "Danny's Red Box" ? I always ...

"Living With Heartache" Let's have a nice discussion about the films shown at BIAFF. We also did it the previous years. The judges said the award winning films excelled in the way emotions had been displayed. That's how I understood it. I looked online and could only hear what Romy said f...

As I told you I had a chat with Werner. He has written some thoughts about his film "Thirst" in Dutch and I have tried to translate them. If I would have had more time I would have made the sentences shorter, but I hope you will be happy with the following things. I am sure there are some ...

I just had a chat with Werner. I will explain everything. But first I would like to see Manchester City (Kevin De Bruyne) playing Real Madrid (team of Courtois). See you later.

Jill is a lovely lady. Absolutely! I agree with you, Michael. A year ago I expressed my feelings in detail about my new experiences while making a film. I was sad. I remember Jill's beautiful words in her response on this forum. We fundamentally agree, Michael. I understand that you are puzzled by t...
