IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

The Party Some weeks ago we had a film show in our village hall. It was packed tight. My documentary "Breendonk" was shown. "Excellent film" most people said, but they seemed to be more impressed by a film that won many awards for "best humour". It made me think of Tun...

Sorry for some spelling mistakes in my previous message. I should have checked the text before sending it.

[quote="Brian Saberton"]It isn't just for taking pictures of children or women that photographers have been picked on. I heard about a new, young member of a camera club in Glasgow who was quizzed by a policeman because he was taking photographs of the statues in George Square, right in th...

Thanks Dave & Willy, any other wiiners who read the forum will be very welcome to send a short disc of comments. Most welcome. I am staying in Lavenham, we rent a cottage on the square opposite the Guildhall. E Anglia is where we lived for 16 years (our longest in one place) and remains my spir...

Willy - maybe you could film yourself giving a greeting to the Americans and thanking them for the award. If you send that to Ned's American address on a DVD they might play it at the convention. Yes, Dave, that's a good idea. I will do this. Now I'm in a hurry because I will have to do other thing...

[quote="ned c"]I am answering from East Anglia so am under an English sky. East Anglia is beautiful, Ned. About 17 years ago I made a film about that area. The title of my film is "Old World Charm". I still did the camera work with my 8mm canon camera. The contents of that film :...

[quote="stingman Why did you join the IAC? I joined the IAC about 11 years ago. Maybe because I love Britain. I prefer the British atmosphere rather than the Belgian one at festivals. I am sure that all my friends who have already attended BIAFF and other festivals on the Albion and in Guernsey...

Yes, we are a VERY strange lot!! Sorry to introduce politics Willy!! I expected I will be ticked off now by a certain person from north of the border ... (or maybe just north ...) _____________________________________________________ Sorry, friends. I shouldn't have done this. I will continue this ...

I was having a look at the web-site for the BBC Film Festival which is being held in Glasgow on 9th Sept. and was intrigued by the picture of the presenter as it looks to me as if he is posing with a Super 8 camera. It looks like it could be a Canon but I might be wrong - what do you all think? htt...

[quote="Brian Saberton"] When I say that he would go into the Cairngorms in the winter months, in the snow (we've seen shots of him digging snow holes) you will understand that these films were different! ... _____________________________________________________ Reindeer The Cairngorms ! O...

[quote="Brian Saberton"]I know that some people favour them but as someone who does a bit of judging I dislike scoring systems for different aspects of a movie and never use them as I think it makes the process too clinical. What weighting would you give to each element? Should technical a...

Dear all, The subject says it all but I have just experienced a fantastic event. As most of you all know, I am a keen Motorcyclist and I ride my motorcycle when I can. Everyday! Anyway...... Or considering every Vespa scooter and it`s rider are kitted out in Mod gear and have Union Jacks EVERYWHERE...

Judges comments, yes; but dividing up "the rest" into award categories must be a nightmare and very uncertain so don't bother. Perhaps I would hang a Gold award on a quiet wall but certainly nothing less. ned c "I would hang a Gold award on a quiet wall, but certainly nothing less.&q...

Entry forms for the 2008 IAC International Film & Video Competition are now on the main website. See "News of BIAFF 2008 - and competition entry forms." on the front page. The blue /bronze /silver /gold /international standards (and their more recent cousins "silver plus" an...

Am I Harsh? Am I fair? What do you think? It`s over to you . You're honest, Ian. Maybe I was of the only foreigners who was interviewed. It took me some time to record the interview in my club. Some friends helped me. David Andrew seemed to be very pleased with the result. I was standing next to a ...
