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 ...

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...

Re: Film & Video Maker Magazine

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

Now - whose arm can we twist for a set of articles?

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.

Re: BIAFF 2022

Thanks for the notes, Tom. I think these faults in the listing are now corrected. We are totally at the mercy of the film makers as to when or whether they make their work publicly available. All too often the top films are still in competition at other events, some of which make it a condition of e...
