Great Results. Love those first two films, but missed Willy's at BIAFF (Maybe it'll be available for viewing online or somewhere else soon?)

My film "Master of Time" was screened in the Alfred Hitchcock Room at Sittingbourne (BIAFF). There were only a few people in that room and the technical team had already seen it. To be honest I was a bit disappointed, but maybe I myself would not have visited that mini cinema at that time. There were five mini cinemas - we were spoilt - and in the Alfred Hitchcock Room a film with a length of almost 40 minutes was shown. That was a handicap. But I am very happy that last Wednesday my "Master of Time" (4 stars) and my "With Love to Michael" (4 stars) were screened in the Newcastle Filmclub and all those present seemed to have appreciated both dramatized documentaries. My films are not on YouTube or VIMEO, though there are no copyright problems. I always use free copyright music (HIBOU). Maybe the webmaster would be so kind to send my personal address to you, Tim. I send copies of my films to IAC-friends with pleasure.

Many thanks, webmaster. My documentary "Master of Time" is now on the IAC-website... Results BIAFF 2015. Category 4 stars.
You can also find it on https://youtu.be/2ACA20mFCzw or type "Master" in "google". It is my clubmate Eddy who has put my film on Youtube.

I also take the opportunity to tell you that my dearest friend Julien has passed away. Julien is "Mon Petit Bonhomme". About two years ago this film received 5 stars at BIAFF. Julien was a short man. He was my Danilo de Vito. It was a documentary about his feelings. "Mon Petit Bonhomme" was screened at the Winners' show in Chesterfield. Julien was very ill at that time. He already suffered from lung cancer. He attented BIAFF at Harrogate and Weymouth the years before. He was very jovial. He was always cheerful and could speak English very well.

His funeral was last Thursday. There was a lot of tragedy. His son Paul, who is a very tall man (almost 2 metres) with a golden heart (just like his daddy) collapsed at the service when he had to stand up and "say farewell" in front of the urn. I will never forget that moment. I passed the condolences of some English friends to his wife who expressed her appreciation and thankfulness.
