Re: How best to run festivals in the electronic age?
Perhaps regular updates here during those final weeks to set expectations? I'm not sure "here" is the best place as so very few people visit. However, I do think you're right and one central definitive place (presumably a page on the BIAFF website) should be the official place for news on...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
Yes - Google is my friend , and looking for film competitions I found BIAFF. The fact that every film got feedback was very appealing. Thanks for the info, Roger. i know some of the IAC Council read posts here so they will get to know. You may not be aware that the IAC also run monthly online Open ...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
May I echo John's welcome. It sounds as if this is the first time you've entered BIAFF. May I ask how you discovered it? It is a shame if you can't make it to Birmingham, especially as "A Moving Experience" is being screened on the Sunday. If you've never seen your film on a big screen in ...

Re: BIAFF Results 2022
To be fair Simon, the advertising and the booking form suggest that the Film Festival is the Weekend "Two Days of Film Presentations" much more thought needs to have gone into this! I suspect the online stuff was added after the initial publicity bumph went out. I'm not sure "much mo...

Watching with others
In a thread about UNICA which went a bit off topic into festivals, Dave mentioned the difference between watching in a small or a large group (one of the benefits of festivals, obv). He's absolutely right and I'd argue the difference is between watching alone and even a small group is at least as si...

Re: UNICA
I realise everyone here knows it but let's be clear BIAFF and UNICA are open to the makers of amateur films. "Amateur film" makers, not amateur "film makers". Industry professionals are entitled to enter and indeed many do. Perhaps if we are somehow able to make this clearer, the...

Re: BIAFF 2022
Mr Roberts! How happy i am to see you back! It is indeed £243 for the Novotel (but that does include all events, Gala Dinner, 2 lunches and the inevitable single room supplement (we could have shared - and maybe started a rumour or two :lol: :lol: ) I don't consider that particularly bad value. I wa...

Re: Film & Video Maker Magazine - Back Issues
I'm sure there was someone on here a few years back hoping to replenish their stock of old FVMs. With luck they'll come across this before you sling them out.
Might be worth posting on the IAC Facebook page and getting Jan to put them on the website (low traffic, but you only need one taker)

Re: Kids appearing in your films
Howard, that's very interesting. What is the licence you apply for and receive? Do Dudley Metropolitan Council (or whoever you're under) issue a "filming children" licence? (I'm asking out of curiosity, so please don't go to any effort to dig one out)

Re: Filming a Play
Have only skimmed it so far but looks like a very good production. Surely not just available light this time though? Love the shot from just below the coffee table looking up towards Derek past the wine glasses!

Re: Kids appearing in your films
Howard, are you talking about under 16s who are knowingly in the film and whose parents have given permission, or under 16s who, as in Tom's examle, just happen to be in a public place and in the background of a shot? As for school performances, we regularly films them and are often irritated by par...

Re: Paul Kittel's Zoom evening
Quite right that it should be removed. Although prepared beforehand it was part of his personal appearance. If enough people are interested I'm sure Paul would either make the film available by request or possibly arrange another evening. It really was very good. Although i've been fortunate to have...

Re: The shorcomings of a film
In response to a comment made by Tim earlier, the director whose name you couldn’t remember who doesn’t like to rehearse is probably William Friedkin. In the excellent documentary “Friedkin Uncut”, he says, “Rehearsal is for sissies. What I’m after is spontaneity.” I’m of the same opinion and keep ...

Re: Virtual Video Group IAC Membership Application
We are fortunate in having members who find this sort of technical challenge fun. Of course once they have solved the problem it ceases to be fun, so we have to provide them with the next problem - in our case creating a hybrid meeting, where we meet in person, but the meeting can be streamed to rem...

Re: Virtual Video Group IAC Membership Application
Not as easy as I thought then! I only uses music from the YouTube Music Library, that solves the YouTube problem. Well done with the Virtual Surrey Boarders Comp, I will try and put a film in if you do it again. Did you arrange and chair the Zoom Tim? Nah - that was above my pay grade and skill set...
