There's nothing better than being able to attend screenings of films so diverse in their outlooks that it almost borders on the surreal. Now that Cinequest has concluded, and with this in mind, I would like to reflect upon couple more favorites of mine, Russell P. Marleau's The Curiosity of Chance, and Chris Power and Nathan Hynes' Long Pigs.The Curiosity of Chance is a hugely entertaining high school musical romp that is everything the John Hughes collection should have been. Russ M...

On Friday night I was treated to one of the strongest selections of twisted short films I have ever seen, Cinequest's Mindbenders. Not only were these films disturbing and extremely well produced, but the three directors I met personify everything that is great about independent filmmakers.This game is all about self-promotion, innovation and risk-taking, and Arthur, Ehran and Richard have these qualities in spades.Let's start with Arthur. Here's a fantastic example of self promotion...
Despite every good intention, it is not always possible to attend all the screenings during the ten days of Cinequest (due to real life getting in the way), so it was late in the evening when I finally swooped into Camera 12 to view the first of the short film programs, an eclectic group called 'Mirror, Mirror'.As I sat in the darkness, my face contorting into expressions of extreme joy or complete bewilderment, I marveled at the beauty of the short film format.There's a lot to be sa...
There is always an expectorant buzz surrounding San Jose's Cinequest Film Festival, and this 17th outing is no different. Following Halfdan's rabble rousing, and Mira Nair's stunning The Namesake, it was off to the Paragon for the opening salvoes of vodka laced networking.As a Brit, happily transplanted to California, I am especially interested in the European content on show here this year and, combining this with my love of short films, actively began my hunt for interesting filmma...
the Dutch short live action film CONTACT directed by Hanro Smitsman was awarded with the Golden Bear at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival.

But you mustn’t forget to mention the humour of the film. We honour the ability of the director to show in a compact manner three angles of the same story.’Previously The Netherl...

Hello, this is my first ever blog anywhere!!
I am Toni Powell and am the Festival Director of Heart of Gold in sunny sunny Queensland, Australia.

ABOUT HEART OF GOLD.
For better or worse,...
A photographer leaves his house in the morning for a shoot. Little does he know that his dog, left alone, has a secret life of his own. Watch this PIXAR inspired short film from Christian & Sebastien Gomez.
So, I met the famous Israeli Amos Gitai who made 30 films. I am now shooting the special classes that he has at Impro acting school. I was at first a bit sceptical about the whole project. Shooting a classroom is (still) not my ideas of cinematical fun. But I got to make a few out-of-the-ordinary shots, especially since Ilan the producer/director kindly rented my a tele lense.
I also got to shoot four ten minute one shot shorts which was AWSOME, but also kind of tiring, jumping from location to ...
