16mm film festival
Jan 25, 2007 05:40PM
I'm a digital fanatic but...
There is a very interesting International film festival in Italy that I heard about recently. It is called the 16mm Film Festival and is now looking for experimental films, art and music from all over the world. I found it pretty interesting and maybe someone here would like to submit his/her movie. This is the first and only Film Festival dedicated to 16 /Super 8 mm black and white films.

Immortalism
Jan 08, 2007 04:01PM
"Immortals" (Italian title: Immortali) is about a bunch of people who are brave enough to say loudly something like "I don't want to die". These people say that death is a state of mind and that sooner or later we will find a way to avoid this unpleasant experience. They think having their body frozen after death is a way to get to the time when science will be able to do anything. This is not a scientific movie, I don't really care if cryonics will work or not. I personally don't believe in it and would never give it a try, but this is not important. I did this documentary because I was fascinated by the creative reality these people are building for themselves, in order to deal with the eternal problem of death. Like poetry, that tells you about something that exists only in the mind of the poet, but you can understand it and feel it.

Just watched the trailer for your film. WOW! Really intriguing. Congrats on your festival placements too.
Let me know if you make it to the Pumelo screenings. I'm curious to find out how that fest turns out.
Feb 05, 2007 10:06AM
Thank you for the kudos, francescafini. I'm very excited, as is The Next Race team! I'll keep you posted as things progress. Thanks for visiting my page and for viewing the trailer! -- Stew

Best of luck. I'm new to withoutabox audience and hope to meet some cool people. Be sure to stop by and take a look my films. Take care.

Hello Francesca
It's so cool to see women out there making documentaries! I love them and I want to be doing what you are someday. I hope your film does well on the festival circuit! It looks really cool.
-Carrie
Jan 24, 2007 09:30AM
That's great! So maybe we will see each other in UK!
grazie (That's Italian for thanks)
Jan 24, 2007 09:27AM
Hi Francesca!
I too sent my film to Swansea. It only took two days in the mail, and today I already got an email confirming that TRACES has been accepted! Wonderful.
I actually only knew of the festival thanks to you.
KIITOS, Francesca! (...that's Finnish for "thanks")
Jan 24, 2007 02:59AM
Hi paperbackwriter, I know they sound crazy but they are just trying to deal with an idea that is pretty unconfortable, don't you think? They wrote their personal tale to have an answer. It's human and I have a lot of simpathy for them because they are true and human.
Jan 23, 2007 04:13PM
Thanks Maukka! I really appreciate
Jan 23, 2007 07:53AM
Jeee, Francesca!
Two acceptances within three days!!
Congratulations!
Jan 21, 2007 10:10AM
Congrats Francescafini!
Jan 21, 2007 08:58AM
Francesca,
THANKS for checkin' out my page!
BEST of luck with your documentary.
Ciao...
Jan 21, 2007 05:47AM
Hi Orlando and Maukka, I will keep you informed. Thanks for the interest in my doc!

Jan 21, 2007 01:29AM
Hi Francesca!
Congratulations for the Swansea Festival!
I had a look at their site, it looks like an interesting festival. I hope your film will have the success it deserves there. We are many here who have seen the trailer and would very much like to see the entire film. So do keep us posted about future festival selections and screenings!
Jan 20, 2007 04:51PM
The "Immortals" looks really interesting. I'd like to see the entire thing when it's available.
Jan 20, 2007 04:37PM
Thanks Festivalking!
Tomorrow I'll send you the audio file you asked for
Jan 20, 2007 11:13AM
hello, Your documentary is very interesting too any one afraid of dying. That would include eveyone. So, i can see an audience for this type of voyuerism.
however, very few people will take it seriously other than point their finger and say look at the freak trying to cheat death.
Jan 18, 2007 11:15PM
hey francescafini, we are in the beginning stages of seeking distribution. thanks for asking. i'm looking forward to seeing yours.
Jan 17, 2007 01:36PM
Hi Francesca!
Thanks for your wonderful words about my film TRACES. Much appreciated.
As I already said here earlier, I very much like the approach of your film IMMORTALS, which gives an interesting angle to the big issue facing all of us one day. I hope your film will get the distribution it deserves!
-I just added you to my friends.
Jan 17, 2007 01:18AM
thanks for the comment about my film trailer, francescafini. yes, it's my first feature. i bit off a lot by doing a sci fi film as my debut film! please keep me posted on where i can see your film... as i said, very interesting!
Jan 16, 2007 08:45PM
well put.
Jan 16, 2007 05:21PM
bravo, francescafinin -- interesting, original and well done! Really makes you wonder... and the trailer gave me an unsettling feeling.... which I liked! Where will the film be playing?
http://www.thenextrace.com if you'd like to visit my trailer.
Jan 16, 2007 12:13PM
Would you care to check out my film TRACES? I have made it temporarily available for free online. The link is on my TRACES blog page.
Jan 16, 2007 07:55AM
ok festivalking, I will do it

Jan 14, 2007 05:22PM
It must have been a very chilly shoot! :)
Jan 14, 2007 12:32PM
What a fascinating topic for a documentary. And an interesting angle to discuss the difficulty to accept one's own finiteness.
Jan 13, 2007 10:33PM
It sounds like a very interesting project. I like the immortality aspect of it.
Jan 13, 2007 04:28AM
Hi tabloidart. Thanks for the comment. I heard about it on the radio, in Rome. I heard of an American baseball player who apparently was cryopreserved in Arizona. To me it was just an incredibly deep and strong story. All history of Mankind is about trying to deal with death. This is just a way to deal with it when you don't believe in anything else but Science. It's a phothograph of our Times.
Jan 12, 2007 09:51AM
do you come up with the ideas that you want to document? cryonics and Immortalism is a good idea.
Jan 12, 2007 08:49AM

it's something new.
Jan 11, 2007 01:31AM
hi, thanks for the add. interesting doc. interesting and scary...
Jan 09, 2007 01:07PM
