Maximum runtime for submissions is 25 minutes. The deadline for entries is April 1st, 2015. The festival is scheduled to take place in June 2015. To submit online go to: www.hiff.ca/submit/ Please make sure to read the terms and conditions before submitting. Send any questions to: [email protected] Film Loop Show @ HIFF 2015 Deadline for Project Proposals April 1st 2015 AFCOOP is looking for artists to create 16mm film loops for the Halifax Independent Film Festival. Using AFCOOP’s new 16mm Super Duper Film Looper, artists can create 16mm film loops up to 10 minutes in runtime. Film Loops are an infinitely (pardon the pun) interesting format for exploring challenging, thought-provoking and experimental filmmaking. They provide an alternative viewing experience to a traditional cinema and are popular in art galleries and public art installations. Looping allows an artist to infuse new meaning into a moving picture work through repetition of the visuals; forcing the audience to re-encounter and reconsider the meaning of a piece when confronted with multiple viewings. If you are interested in creating a loop for HIFF this year, submit a project proposal and description along with a brief bio to: [email protected] by April 1st 2015. Proposals will be reviewed and a certain number of artists chosen to create work. Examples of film loops by artists can be seen below: Sol Nagler and Alexandre Larose “Situated Cinema” http://vimeo.com/92179620 https://afcoop.wildapricot.org/Sys/EmailTemplate/EditPreviewTemplate 2/38 2/5/2016 https://afcoop.wildapricot.org/Sys/EmailTemplate/EditPreviewTemplate Marijke van Warmerdam http://www.arttube.nl/nl/video/Boijmans/Marijke_van_Warmerdam Graduating Film School Membership Are you graduating from film school this year?

    U.K. journalist Veronica Mather interviews author George Anthony on STARRING BRIAN LINEHAN, his no-holds-barred biography of Canadian television’s most celebrated celebrity interviewer. September, 2008 Toronto, Canada by VERONICA MATHER VERONICA MATHER: Starring Brian Linehan is your first book. Were you surprised by the reaction to it? GEORGE ANTHONY: Yes. Stunned. V.M.: The reviews were overwhelmingly positive. G.A.: Yes. V.M.: You hadn’t anticipated any of it? G.A.: No. Not at all. I had no idea how people would react Especially critics. V.M.: Why ‘especially’ critics? G.A.: Because I’m not a member of the club anymore, not for years now. And neither was Brian, not ever. So … V.M.: The ‘club’? G.A.: Yes, the club, the media fraternity. V.M.: You were a ‘club’ member when you wrote for the Toronto Sun. G.A.: Yes, but for the last 15 years I hadn’t written anything much longer than a memo. V.M.: At the CBC, while you were winning all those awards. G.A.: I knew I liked you. (laughs) But no, seriously, I didn’t win any awards. V.M.: Your shows did. G.A.: Yes, my shows did. V.M.: More than 100 Gemini awards. G.A.: So I’m told. V.M.: You don’t know? G.A.: I stopped counting after the first 10 or 12. I didn’t want to jinx it, didn’t want to press my luck. I was lucky to work on all those shows. V.M.: And you’re still at CBC.
