OLD CHESTNUT
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2003 5:51 am
We have just returned from Movie 2003 at Norwich. A lot to say about it, in
fact a bit too much for this site. I have written a long piece for FVM about
it. However, here are a few basics. A few little niggles about the hotel,
but this is the norm. The films were some of the best we have seen, mostly
excellent. The sunday show, when fatigue is usually setting in, went by in
a flash. It was also the first time we had had a sunday slot for one of our
films. The audience recieved it well. The only complaint of any substance
was that OLD CHESTNUT, judges comments! Some of these have to be read to
be believed... and I still don`t believe it. Taken at face value, I have
got everything wrong at some point. "Professional" film maker, Roger Burgess
should be BANNED FOREVER from judging amateur competitions. His comments
are pompous and insulting. Anyone else received some of his remarks? Nice
to see a British winner at last. Ken.
