When is the best moment to make a cut? What determines the rhythm of a scene? Linear and non linear story telling.

These lenses are a standard in professional video and film production, offering full frame capabilities and interchangeable lens mounts making them extremely future proof and versatile. The kit features consistent front ring diameters and interface beautifully with AFCOOP’s clip-on lightweight Vocas Matte Box. Pricing for the Zeiss CP.2 4 Lens Kit and individual lenses to be announced shortly. Telefilm MicroBudget Production Program AFCOOP is pleased to announce our recommendation for the Telefilm MicroBudget Production Program this year goes to writer/director Iain MacLeod and producer Sean Doyle for their project, "Neighbourhood Safety Patrol." Their project will be sent to the national shortlist to compete for production funding with projects from across the country. The results of that competition will be released mid-March. Neighbourhood Safety Patrol When an incompetent Neighbourhood Watch-type group tries to catch a burglar on video, slightly crazed group member Lance convinces the others to pursue a suspect who, unbeknownst to the rest of the group, stole Lance’s girlfriend from him. Funny thing is, despite his motives, Lance might be right. Iain MacLeod Writer/Director: Iain was educated at York University (BA English 1995) and the Canadian Film Centre (Professional Screenwriting Programme 2001). He has also participated in various workshops and two NSI programmes (Totally Television 2005/6 and Features First 2007/8) and was the writer mentor for AFCOOP’s Film 5 programme for several years. Sean Doyle Producer: Sean is a Halifax producer educated at the Nova Scotia Community College (Screen Arts 2001) and the Canadian Film Centre (Producer’s Lab 2004/5). Additionally, Sean held a CTV Fellowship and participated in the Rotterdam/Cinemart Lab (both 2006). Sean also was a participant in the CFTPA Atlantic Mentorship Program and NSI’s Features First (2007/8). Sean has been active as Production Manager on various film and television productions in Halifax.

  • 71St Locarno Film Festival, Switzerland, 1–11 August 2018 Religion, Politics, and Transcendence in New Cinema – Highlights One Year After #Metoo
    Dietmar Adler and Charles Martig Festival Review: 71st Locarno Film Festival, Switzerland, 1–11 August 2018 Religion, Politics, and Transcendence in New Cinema – Highlights One Year after #MeToo Religion is once again a robust topic in international filmmaking. Several films in the competition at the 71st Locarno Film Festival (1–11 August 2018) dealt ex- plicitly or implicitly with religion, politics, and transcendence. Outstanding films were A Land Imagined (Yeo Siew Hua, SG/FR/NL 2018), which won the Golden Leopard, and M (Yolande Zauberman, FR 2018), which deals with child abuse in a strictly Orthodox Jewish community and was awarded the Special Prize of the International Jury. The Ecumenical Jury of Signis and Interfilm decided to award its prize to Sibel (Guillaume Giovanetti / Çağla Zencirci, FR/DE/TR 2018), the story of the emancipation of a young woman in Turkey. In general, women played a prominent role in the festival’s program, not least because a pledge of gender parity was signed by festival officials, a sign of where we are one year after #MeToo. In this festival review, Dietmar Adler from Interfilm and Charles Martig from Signis offer a taste of the film program at Locarno, explore reli- gious, political, and social aspects of the films, and provide insight into the work of the Ecumenical Jury. THE WINNER FROM SINGAPORE The Asian film A Land Imagined, directed by Yeo Siew Hua, was considered an extraordinary elaboration of its topic by both the International Jury (it won the Golden Leopard) and the Ecumenical Jury. The film is set in Singapore, where migrant workers labor on land reclamation sites.

  • Montreal 2004
    Montreal 2004 By Ron Holloway Fall 2004 Issue of KINEMA MONTREAL WORLD FILM FESTIVAL 2004 The 28th Montreal World Film Festival (26 August to 6 September 2004) is the story of the right film being at the right festival at the right time. Eran Riklis’s Hacala Hasurit (The Syrian Bride, Israel-France-Germany) was awarded the four top prizes: Grand Prize of the Americas, FIPRESCI (International Critics) Prize, Ecumenical Prize, and the Air Canada People’s Choice Prize. Never mind that the same film had also been voted the Prix du publique at the Locarno festival in August, for the FIAPF rules governing the eligibility of competition films in major festival are currently undergoing drastic change - due in great part, onemight add, to last year’s decision by Montreal director Serge Losique to drop his festival membership. And one can only cheer the good fortune of a modest film with quality production credits directed byan Israeli based in London, whose screenplay about a Palestinian family living in a Druze village on the Golan Heights under Israeli occupation border was co-written by a Palestinian. A humanist film of this high caliber, one dealing with a social dilemma still on the UN’s political burner, deserves all the audience it can muster at festivals to pave the way for broad commercial release. The Syrian Bride, set on a wedding day, is the story of a Druze Palestinian who should be celebrating the happiest day of her life. Instead, Mona knows that once she has crossed into Syria to marry Tallel, a television star whom she will meet in person for the first time, she will be forbidden by Israeli authorities to return to Majdal Shams, her Druze village on the Golan Heights, and thus might be separated forever from her family.

  • A Reel Or a Raw Deal for Women in the Film Biz?
    A Reel or a Raw Deal for Women in the Film Biz? Danielle Cliche1 1. Introduction Helen Fielding’s character, Bridget Jones, is supposed to typify a young, unmarried 30-something professional women of the 21st Century. Whether this is really the case, is debatable. What is not typical, however, is the recognition the film version of Fielding’s novel and its director, Sharon Maguire, have achieved. In the Focus 2005 World Film Market Trends2, Sharon Maguire and her film, “Bridget Jones’s Diary”, are listed as receiving the highest cumulative admissions in Europe for a European film from the years 1996-2004. In this Top 20 list, only one other female director appears, Beeban Kidron and her follow-up film Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason; which coincidentally attracted the highest number of admissions in Eu- rope for a European film in the year 2004. Over the past 15 months, the Culture Biz team has been writing another type of Diary. In 455 days, they recorded the status of women working as creators and managers in the film business in Austria, Finland, Germany and Portugal. Their first entry starts with an overview of their domestic film industries and with an ac- count of the number of women working in the film business over the past ten years. Have the scales increased or decreased? In the months that followed, they recorded the number of women being trained and eventually working as profes- sionals in the “super creative core3” of the business: as directors, producers, edi- tors, scriptwriters and cinematographers of feature, short and documentary films.
