Hurrah - Atta,Alan and Andy have arrived!
On my holiday travels I can only log in at the occasional Internet cafe so
missed the actual debut day ... but well done to the new team for their first
public updates to the IAC website.
I love the enthusiasm, the info and details. You need to find a few new
end-of-page jokes, lads, but otherwise ... please keep it coming.
As Atta says I wanted to hand on the website to someone else, just as I had
it passed on to me from its founder, Mike Donlan. Each new webmaster brings
fresh thoughts, ideas and designs which all help to make the site interesting
and useful. After an awfully long silence the Magnificent Three came along
- and what's more there were several offers of occasional help from others,
including the folk who often contribute to this forum.
You will not be rid of me completely. I will be offering material to Atta
and co as well as having my say in this forum.
I'll add my congrats to all the IAC Competition winners announcedso far.
As part of the judging team this year (first stage) perhaps I ought not
comment at all, but I am realy glad Mark Jackson got a special award. His
films are not to everyone's taste but they are consistently fresh, challenging,
funny, technically excellent and disturbing ... if you don't know his work,
do try to see it.

Gold and Silver gets one a mini cinema show on the Saturday with an audience

Have just returned from the CEMRIAC festival in Derby and the audience there
was about 100! SO, one gets more bums on seats at
these regional festivals than getting a Gold or Silver in the big IAC show.
And for me, bums on seats is what I really adore!!
Your right about Johny though....and I bet he will show some real gritty,
thought provoking output as he normally does, and so deserve to beat all
of us brits into the ground.
Albert....well dug in.

Hi All,
One Brit movie and deserved winner of both IAC Gold and The Widescreen Award
is Pat Mahon and Robert Lethan's "Ripples in the Wind".
A serious piece of film-making!

6 out 7 of the International Medalians were won by 'Johny Foreigner' as Michael
choose to describe them. It is these films that get the larger audience
on the Sunday, so gold/silver never gets you real BIG 'bums on seats', serious
film making or not withstanding, and blue/bronze gets you no bums at all!
On the other hand, a very mediocre film entered at a regional festival can
easily get 100 'bums on seats' as I witnessed yesterday.....there sure ain't
no justice in the film world!

As far as audience reaction goes I find that at the big festivals they are
viewing so many films that they get punch drunk and find it difficult to
identify one from the other. I get better response from an audience that
has requested a show and where I can discuss aspects of the productions and
answer questions.

Long, long movies
I have long advocated a substantial fine for any commercial movie which lasts
longer than 90 minutes. There might be special exceptions for longer ones
where a panel of critics agreed the extra minutes were worth it.
In the amateur world many people rail against time limits - indeed IAC makes
a point of being one of the few competitions which accepts any length of
movie.
When assembling a collection of recent British amateur movies for screening
overseas I too restricted my choice to those under about 25 minutes in order
to include a good variety. This meant denying myself - and the audiences
- the pleasures of works by several of our great British moviemakers.
Maybe we should introduce a similar concept: a fine for every minute over
15 that any amateur movie runs, unless a panel of judges agrees the extra
minutes are worthwhile? Enter long movies in such competitions at your own
risk!
