Re: BIAFF RESULTS 2023

"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.

Re: A Bunch of Amateurs

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!

Re: Film & Video Maker Magazine

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...

Re: BIAFF 2022

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,...

Re: BIAFF 2022

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 ...

Re: BIAFF 2022

"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...

Re: BIAFF 2022

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 ...

Re: BIAFF 2022

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.

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

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...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

I didn't know there was a canal in Llangollen, Dave. I checked it. Why? I organised my first school trip in 1970. A trip to Wales for my colleagues. It was unforgettable. On our tour we spent one night in the Chain Bridge Hotel in Llangollen. We had dinner in the restaurant of the hotel with a view ...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

Yes, I must have made a mistake now, Dave. My memory has been shaped by the time I went to the North by the M5. Birmingham didn't look very attractive. It was also like that when I went further north and could see Glasgow from the motorway beneath me. I have been everywhere in Scotland, but I have n...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

Sorry, Jill, I feel embarrrassed now! But when we were in Harrogate we visited the Yorkshire Dales. Maybe you also remember my film "Say Wensleydale Cheese, please!" When we were in Buxton we visited the Peak District. When we were in Sittingbourne we met our best English friend in the bea...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

I have also found on the internet: "De prijs voor een internationaal paspoort,varieert van gemeente tot gemeente. Volwassenen betalen tussen 65 en 80 euro. Via de website van de gemeente of stad kunt u nagaan hoe veel u dient te betalen." "The price for an international passport diffe...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022

In Belgium we have always called our identity card (ID-cards) passports. We thought both words were synonyms. Actually that's wrong. There are idenity cards and there are passports.
