The festival will showcase feature length and short films on 35mm 16mm Super-8 & Video (Mini DV to Beta etc.) and DVD, though we accept all formats and ANY length (Single system sound only). There will be a live Theremin player present (please include note, if you wish your film be shown with live accompaniment). PRIZES: 16mm BOLEX MOVIE CAMERA. (two award ceremonies will occur this year.) Categories and prizes will be decided by the judges after all films are viewed. Past years categories ranged from most abrasive to most oblique. Please submit preview on VHS. Entry Deadline: March 26, 2004. Please note: This year we will be presenting two seperate awards. The ISFF2002 lost it's venue at the last moment so we will be showing those winners this year as well.

Radio? Fine. Syphilis? If you like. Photography? I don't see any reason why not. The cinema? Three cheers for darkened years. War? Gave us a good laugh. The telephone? Hello. Youth? Charming white hair. Try to make me say thank you: 'Thank you.' Thank you." |
