Film Screening at the Egyptian Theater (with John Cannizzaro)

9th ANNUAL ATTACK of the 50 FOOT REELS.... screening this Thur, Oct 22nd, 2009 at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood at 7:30pm. Its another ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT REELS show ..........21 short 2 1/2 min films....seeing them for the first time with the filmmakers themselves. Should be a fun evening. Come on down for the excitement. Here's how it works: Each filmmaker chooses one roll (50 feet) of KODAK Super 8 film. Tri-x (black & white) Plus-x (black & white) Ektachrome (color) Vision 200 (color negative) Vision 500 (color negative). The filmmakers shoot their films in order, in other words, all editing and cuts that are made, are made IN CAMERA. There are no splicers used. To make sure of this, the filmmakers turn in their "unprocessed" film to Flicker. Flicker hands the film over to Yale film and video for processing. The films are then transferred at Yale to digital video for viewing on the large Egyptian screen. The films are transferred for best color and contrast - NO EDITS or CUTS are made within the content of the film. The filmmakers give flicker their music, soundtrack, soundscape which will be orginal scores created for their film. The sound is started with the first picture, so if it works it works. It's all up in the air, like life, everyday a surprise. You never know what you're going to get. And that's the way it is with the daring and nervous filmmakers awaiting this year's ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT REELS! American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre 7:30pm October 22, 2009
