Durban, 26 July: Day 2
The miserable weather is busy getting the better of me as I spent most of the day in bed.
As I am in Durban for the film festival at great expense, I dragged myself out of bed for the night's delights.
I planned to see Dog Sweat at 22:00, but decided to rather skip that.
The two films that were shown tonight are both in competition and both are good - one is exceptional, in fact.
It's good to see young African directors at the festival and Andrew Dosunmu...
25 July: Day 1
The Weather Girls sing about it's raining men. In Durban it's raining wonderful films and the weather is miserable too in what is normally a balmy sub-tropical city.
I have been planning my viewing schedule since the programme was released a month ago and it constantly changed as there is so much to see and the films are so varied and the must-see ones clash. I try to include the big festival winners - and they are all in Durban. I left the schedule 80% percent comp...

Given the number of scam festivals happily scamming impressionable and aspiring filmmakers around the world is it now time for an association of film festivals. Although it would be a good idea there are a number of reasons why this may not be feasible.
In the United Kingdom there is a quaint little set of laws that allow the Police to investigate themselves in matters such as official complaints, this as we all well know is not right or can it be seen to be transparent or fair.

If you’re a woman and you hear adjectives like short and funny, immediately you think two things, that Kimmie Dee is hilarious and so is a man with a sock in his pants. You’d be right to laugh at both. A man show at a job site sans tool, almost nothing funnier or sadder. But add to that hit list of short and funny, sexy and monetarily endowed and you’ve just described the LA Comedy Shorts Film Festival’s closing night festivities. Downtown LA’s Elevate Lounge hosted and LA...

March 9-19, 2011
This season, the Globus Film Series presents the Japanese gangster
movie genre through its various avatars, transformations and
contradictions, from 1960s productions featuring chivalrous
kimono-clad, sword-wielding gangsters and gamblers to today's ruthless
gun-toting villains dealing in debt, hustling hardcore porn and
scheming and scamming in dark trades and deeds. Over the past 50 years,
they've remained snarling, swaggering, tattooed and inexplicably sexy.
In the line-up, there will be blood and broken bones, hookers and
hopheads, and plenty of juicy political blackmail… in 15 films that
rack up the stiffs like Jacobean tragedies and show grand visions of
manly amity and betrayal: classics and lesser known titles by Kinji
Fukasaku, Takashi Miike (Dead or Alive), Hideo Gosha (The Wolves), Takeshi Kitano (Outrage), Rokuro Mochizuki (A Yakuza In Love, Onibi: The Fire Within) and Sydney Pollack (The Yakuza), among other offerings you can't refuse.
The violent romantic world of the yakuza (the Japanese mafia) steeped
in cryptic ritual and customs involving full-body tattoos and missing
digits, has long excited the imagination, decades before viewers
started existing on a diet of Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire
melodrama, and has been one of the mainstays of the Japanese film
industry since the 1960s. Harking back to the days when samurai still
embodied traditionalist values of honor, selfless duty (giri) and the noble warrior spirit (ninkyo)
on the silver screen, the shadowy demimonde of organized crime (which
included wandering gamblers and lowly peddlers) rivaled with the noble
swordsmen as the representatives of honor and heroism, in the context
of a rapidly changing society trying to come to terms with a shameful
defeat. In the darkness of movie theaters, they became the very picture
of superhuman macho cool and reptilian menace.
For the 5th year in a row we will again feature the highly successful
2‐MINUTE, 2‐STEP SHORT FILM CHALLENGE (scripts submitted from all
over the world, DWF picks 8 teams ‐ writer, director, actors, producer
and editor ‐ who then produce a 2‐minute short in four hours). Using
Canon HD technology and pure filmmaking perseverance, the 8 films
are shot, edited ‐ often in the theatre lobby as patrons watch ‐ and
screened prior to competition features each night at the festival.
