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. http://www.16mm.it/

a clip from the documentary Immortals (Immortali) Jan 09, 2007 05:37PM
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.

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")

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.

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!

Thanks Festivalking!
Tomorrow I'll send you the audio file you asked for

paperbackwriter69
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.

StewdioStew
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.

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.

What a fascinating topic for a documentary. And an interesting angle to discuss the difficulty to accept one's own finiteness.

It sounds like a very interesting project. I like the immortality aspect of it.

francescafini
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.

tabloidart
Jan 12, 2007 09:51AM

do you come up with the ideas that you want to document? cryonics and Immortalism is a good idea.
