Was over in Co. Donegal recently. My son’s band had a gig in a local pub so captured what I could for posterity. Tom is the saxophonist.
BIAFF 2023
The British International Amateur Film Festival. Well I was part of it this year. As indeed last year. First of all I produced the 40 page brochure – see below. And the poster. But then I also got to be a volunteer at said 3 day event. This festival is the flagship event of the IAC – Institute of Amateur Cinematographers. I even had a tee-shirt which said “Volunteer” on the back to prove it. Mine was arguably the most important role in the whole event. For it was me who pushed the “play” button to start each screening. Not only that, but I had to remember push the “pause” button too at the end of each film. So if it wasn’t for me…
Dolly Grip
“My life as a Dolly Grip” by Martin Evans comes out in paperback sometime. Two films in one, recorded at St. Asaph Cathedral yesterday – with 3 supremely talented opera soloists : Neil Balfour, Isabelle Peters & Alexandra Lowe singing from Cosi Fan Tuti with the consumately professional Annette Parri piano accompaniment.
One is to be a tail section to a 2 year long film project of which I’m embarrassed to say I am the subject. And the other is promo video for the singers involved. The amazing Rhys Edwards of Felinheli was the producer/director/camera. I pushed the trolley 😉
