The Disposable Film Festival, 2011

// March 14th, 2011 // No Comments » // Blog, News

24th March,  Video Screening @ Castro Theatre

I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Competitive Shorts Program in DISPOSABLE FILM FESTIVAL’s Opening Night event at San Francisco’s historic Castro Threatre on 24th March. They have an exciting lineup of 25 best short films from all over the world. Their Groupon deal just got sold out. The theatre has a capacity of 1400 seats and I think they still have some tickets left, so you can get them from http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/156165

The Disposable Film Festival announced its 2011 premier will be from March 24-March 27, following a dizzying year of Bike-Ins, panel discussions, and new partnerships.This unique festival was created in 2007 to celebrate the artistic potential of disposable video: short films made on non-professional devices such as one-time use video cameras, cell phones, point and shoot cameras, webcams, computer screen capture software, and other readily available video capture devices. The 2011 premier will boast more creative narrative work and other techniques thanks to the array of new devices such as the iPhone 4, DSLRs, Kinect and more.Now in its fourth year, the native San Francisco-based festival features the very best of over 1000 entries from around the world, highlighting the new accessibility of filmmaking today. The program will feature a competitive shorts program and other screenings, a featured filmmaker profile of Philadelphia-based artist and filmmaker Christopher McManus in conversation with Vimeo’s Andrea Allen, Q&A’s, a community-based social gaming networking simulcast, educational workshops, and multimedia performances.
