The Derby City Film FestivalA different kind of festival...
From the beginning the DCFF has distinguished itself from other
festivals, by selecting the only the very best in true independent
films. Focusing on independent films and filmmakers rather than
celebrities and hype, the DCFF sets out to prove that quality films do
not have multi-million dollar budgets. Credit card advances, family
loans, selling plasma, doing whatever it takes to get your dream and
vision to the big screen are the types of films and filmmakers we
showcase. Those are true independent films.
So whether you are a filmmaker or just a lover of film, we encourage you
to come and be apart of the Derby City Film Festival. We bet by the
time you leave you wonder why every festival doesn't do it this way. The 2012 DCFF will be held February 17th - 19th, 2012 and submissions open July 1st, 2011. The Derby City Film Festival Announces Selections For The 2011 FestivalThe Derby City Film Festival is proud to announce the selected films for the 2011 edition. The festival will open with a short film screening group from The Bob Rogers Group (BRG), a production company based in Louisville. The BRG film program of 8 short films will be free to attend and begin at 6:00 PM on February 18th. The official opening night film at 8:00 PM will be “The Very Worst Thing” a film about the worst bus crash in US history which took place in Floyd County, Kentucky in 1958. The film is from Georgetown filmmaker Michael Crisp. In all, 20 films from Kentucky filmmakers will screen during the festival including four feature films and 16 short films. A “Kentucky Short Films Program” will screen on Sundayfeatures short films from Kentucky filmmakers. Both the Saturday night Feature Films (“Almost Nothing Good Happens” by Tom Whitus & “Queens of the Dead” by Ray Cart) were produced and shot in Louisville and will be World Premieres. Other films from filmmakers with ties to Kentucky will screen during the festival as well. “While this year’s festival is a great moment to showcase the talent right here in Kentucky, we also want to remind everyone that we are an international festival,” points out DCFF cofounder Kristofer Rommel, “in addition we are screening 25 films from international filmmakers and numerous films from other parts of the country as well. It’s a great showcase of independent film in general.” Films screening at the 2011 Derby City Film Festival include films from New Albany & Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, New York, California, Switzerland, Poland, Russia, and Canada. Films screening out of competition include the Bob Rogers Group short films and another 18 short films included in a short film program entitled “Cyber Bros.”; of which all the films are from Russian filmmakers. The festival has also partnered with the Jewish Film Festival which runs concurrently with the DCFF. On Sunday Feb. 20th the two festivals are partnering to screen “Voice Teacher” a documentary from New York. Don Roberts, the voice teacher and Daniel Mendelson, the director will attend and discuss the film. The festival closes Sunday February 20th with the feature film “Hitting the Nuts” from Cincinnati filmmaker Joe Boyd There will be workshops held during the festival that cover a wide range of topics including: Writing for the Screen, Green Screen Techniques, Acting, and FX Make-Up. As well as filmmaker Q&A’s following many of the films. Each of the workshops are hosted by leading regional professionals in independent film and are designed for the experienced filmmaker as well as those just beginning or who have an interest in learning more about the world of independent film. The workshops will be held Saturday and Sunday during the festival and are free for those who purchase a day or festival pass. The festival will bring back the audience vote for the next edition.
