FAST FORWARD IRELAND will ride again. In ~SEPTEMBER!!!!! 2008. Please come. Please make movies. More on this in the next few weeks. We're making a FEATURE FILM!!! In JUNE!!!! EMERGENCY!!!!! HELP!!!! HELP!!!!! We need you to participate, contribute..... aw hell WE NEED YOU TO MAKE THE DAMN THING>>> So do you wanna? The theme is dublin city.... here's the current spiel- I don't think its there yet- help me make it better:
The Darklight ’08 4-Day Film
In a rare and potentially fatal feat of cinematic daring, Darklight will present a feature length film on the evening of June 29th – the last day of this year’s festival – shot entirely on June 26th – the first day. The film will be an ecclectic, multi-authored impression of Dublin (within the M50) as it lived, died, breathed, fucked, filled up and emptied, consumed, wept, was rained or shone on, grew bright and then darkened again ... from 12.01am to 11.59pm on that day. Whatever is true, however big or tiny, static or dynamic, animate or inanimate, in this place, over this time is fair game. Darklight will be inviting a mixed and excellent bunch of artists – narrative film-makers, documentarians, visual artists and the like – to watch, meditate on, interfere with or otherwise interrogate material of their choice in whichever style makes sense to them. Each filmmaker will be required to deliver a finished piece, between three and five minutes long, to curator/supervising editor Lenny Abrahamson who will then be free to use the films intact or cut them up, order them and reorder them, to produce, we hope, an original, intense and exciting film; a kind of Frankenstein archive of the city and the lives it contains on Thursday, June 26th. What will emerge? Who knows. Whether it’s the life of a particular corner or a whole district, circuits of water or electricity, burials or births, or five continuous minutes in the presence of a single person, what is certain is that the Darklight 4-Day Film will be a unique event and one of the highlights of the festival.
Oh, and just to complicate things further, anybody with a video camera device will be free to upload material to an FTP site – details to follow – which may be included in the final edit. The same rules apply – all material to be shot on the 26th and within the M50. In case you're at all interested in my feelings, here's a link and an extract from my brain. Its as immediate as I can be:
MAKE ART BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I've reached an impasse. I asked for a chance to change things, now I have an opportunity, and its hard. Its really hard. I wonder sometimes if I'm up to it..... MY BLOG has more confessions and a desperate cry for help! Click for the cliffhanger!.... Andrew discepolo della esperienza |
