Screening- April 2nd at 7pm The NFB and Bravo!FACT present Shorts in Motion: Micro-Movies for Video Cell Phones
Followed by a discussion on cell phones and where that technology is headed in regards to filmmaking.
A new and innovative initiative by Bravo!FACT and the National Film Board of Canada. Shorts In Motion features micro-movies for video cell phones by four celebrated Canadian artists: Unlocked by media personality Sook-Yin Lee (CBC: Definitely Not the Opera); Go Limp by Sudz Sutherland (Love, Sex & Eating the Bones); I’m Sorry, the directorial debut of Mark McKinney (Kids In the Hall, Saddest Music in the World); and Phone Call From Imaginary Girlfriends: Ankara and Istanbul by Don McKellar (Child Star). The films were produced by Foundry Films (Daniel Iron) and The Film Farm (Jennifer Weiss and Simone Urdl).
TFC Short Film Competition- April 2nd after the screening.
We'll give you the topic, you give us your film! Films can be no longer than 5 minutes and no shorter than 30seconds. It's preferable that you work with someone in the Collective that you haven't before-- points given for new crews. Topic to be given out at the April 2nd screening, and the due date is April 16th-- you have two weeks to complete your film. 1st place gets two $50 gift certificates to Henry's (see where your donation money goes?), and a dinner for two at Lula Lounge (thanks Jose and Shawn!) plus whatever else we feel like putting in the bag. If you're interested in being a part of the competition, you MUST be at the April 2nd screening to sign-up.
May 7th Short Film Forum submission- April 16th
Just like the last one, but with different films, different experiences and different tips. If you're interested in being a part of the panel or in submitting your film, please let me know by April 16th. Anything from experimental to romantic comedy, any experience level, but the running time should be less than 45mins.
