I know; it took me time to put this up on the site – I was going crazy organizing the Film Festival, working on my spare time and studying (yes, I pretend I read those books…!
)
Anyways, the section of FilmMet’09 is updated with the list of winners, the jury and the organizers if you wanted to check who were officially involved, and especially if you took part on the competition!!
I am very proud of the team that has been working hard to bring this festival alive. Now, I know many of you (and definetely us) are quite dissapointed about the result of the event (and now I must say especially me who was sweating trying to make everything work!) but, I hope at least you enjoyed with your drinks, the popcorn, your friends and a nice environment.
I strongly encourage you all now to take step further and, as I got stuck on the presentation to say this: keep working hard to mantain your filmmaking skills in practice, and never give up, especially in this Industry. Be self-critical and learn of every single experience. Also, this might be the last London Met Film Festival, so please, please, please, dont loose this (at least small) spirit we have created through these two years and carry on supporting your community from your University years. Don’t wait till you finish your degree, is absolutely pointless and counter-productive to expect that a degree will solve all your future: get involved as much as you can with your colleagues and with other London film communities. And please… film is an Art in movement; do not conformise!! keep evolving and mantain Film alive!
We haven’t heard much of your voices over these past years, I don’t know if I have to start burning a barrell in the middle of the Piazza so at least some of you get in movement. The society is yours, remember it. Feel free to contact me if you want to get more involved at korben2001@hotmail.com
We also have a fantastic Blog where I am at this moment writing, you can also put your opinions up here, and I encourage to do so. Just contact me.
Oh!! And please, have a look at the post Abi has added below, is worth getting involve in these things:
