Re: FVM October 2022 issue

Don't worry about the QR codes. Those who use them often know how to handle them - and you have explained to others how to get apps and use them. The technophobes would not use an URL ! I was really trying to indicate that I liked the way it all looks. (Back to "Expressive Writing class 101 for...

Re: FVM October 2022 issue

Envelope half-open at the bottom! Cover striking. Not sure FVM has been serving anyone since 1932, though IAC has. Like the "National & International" tag - UK is four nations all by itself. Was there supposed to be a white "strikeout" line through the top line? Though I am w...

Re: Elvis

Rocket Man is fun. It gets a tad slow in the drug taking times in the USA but there are startlingly effective moments. I don't look for slavish accuracy in films which purport to deal in facts of any kind. If they are approximately right (so far as I am aware) that is fine. Biopics suffer from the ...

Re: A really amazing coincidence.

For those who may not know, Albert is the creator of a very famous animated film: RED TYPE An allegorical portrayal of the East-West conflict. A single sheet of paper acts as the only setting for this simple, but effective, piece of animated story-telling. The maker typed 25,000 characters onto 500 ...

Re: A really amazing coincidence.

Or is this mystic Albert's influence? I rejoiced to see those pages in FVM, because fonts - indeed the appearance of text - is almost as important as its content. The right font and good layout enhances meaning in magazines, sets the scene for a film in its opening title, conveys respect, or the opp...

Let's not forget to thank Mike Whyman, who has been holding the fort as editor for far longer than he ever expected.

Re: Perseverance works?

Here, here!

Your terror films are not an easy watch - and not for the squeamish ... but lots of people like them.

Good luck!

Re: BIAFF 2022

For all of you puzzled by FACE THE MUSIC ...

I understand that Jan did an interview with its author during BIAFF and that the video of that (shot by Alistair Biggar) will be on the BIAFF website soon. She wants to send it to Noah Greis for his approval before publication.
