Celluloid Social Club – June 2009
The Celluloid Social Club – Where Independent Film meets the big time.
This weeks program was snapped together by Kellie Ann Benz fresh from a tour of Europe with her own award winning film “Awkward”. Local independent film makers were treated to some of Europe’s finest award winning short films, and we were able to see a very different approach in terms of art treatment and subject matter. We also saw short films that were longer than what we normally make in Vancouver and in Canada generally. Cool.
Something else Kellie has pointed out, film makers earn a living making short film in Europe. Short films are not just a teaser for the feature.
There is a real and metaphorical bridge that can be built here.
