The Black Dog : My new film, playing at the Cannes Film Festival

March 28th 2009 14:26
Well - it's official - The Black Dog will be playing at the Cannes Film Festival during May. Details are currently up on their website, and I will recieve more info soon.

Red Carpet
One of the many photos a film maker friend of mine took of last years proceedings


The Black Dog was a 15 minute film that went from pre production to the end of post production with in the space of one month - which for some one that takes notoriously long to edit his films - is a record timing turn over. I've never been to Cannes before, but as a film maker who isstill in his infancy, I'm sure it will be an education for me.

I do intend to report on the precedings of the festival when I return - along with photo's.

Here are some stills from my new film.

Hallway
An unusual encounter awaits

I tried looking up your movie on imdb.com, but there's no listing. I would've thought if a movie, even if its just a short, was scheduled to play at Cannes it would have a listing at imdb.com ... Are you the writer and director? And, from the point of view of that photo, it looks as if your filmmaker friend was actually on the red carpet. What movie did they make?

I havnt submitted to them yet. That friend had a film makers accreditation there, no film though

I'm very curious, how did your film get selected?
The stills you've put up aren't exactly the most intriguing or compelling. I'm assuming that it's in black and white. What did you shoot it on? What was your budget?

Glen B - thanks man!

Bryn - yes - black and white stills equal black and white movie. The film is playing out of competition as far as I know at the moment, although all the sections I sent it to havnt given me an answer yet - so who knows, I'm just happy to have it there and be there! The film is shot on regular DV and as most films go they are judged on their own merits, not by how exciting the stills look.

And to others reading, I was going to post a link to the webpage that lists my film on the festivals website but there are frankly some privacy issues I have with how they have listed it.

Thanks all,

and to Bryn - I wasn't actually in time for Sydney film festival this year, but I want it seen here, so I will be sending it to Sydney Underground Film Festival sometime soon.

I hadn't heard of the Sydney Underground Film Festival, only the Melbourne one ...

It's actually a fantastic festival, having been to SUFF, it isnt doing too badly for its third year approaching, definitely check it out, I volunteered at SUFF last year and then went to MUFF later on that year where my last film was playing there and SUFF is definitely ahead of the curb compared to MUFF, look em up , they had an awesome turn out.
