Introduction

Hey all,

This movie fest is, of course, in the planning phase with an eye for the first installment debuting sometime early September.

I wish to have it at least twice a month at max and am willing to modify it for special showings for holidays or if people just want to get together and watch a movie with like minded individuals.

THE GOAL:

Yea, why am I doing this? Well, Bermuda lacks an indie/art house theater. If I want to see obscure films, I have to wait for BIFF or catch something randomly around campus or at BUEI. I miss the freedom I enjoyed while away at school to go to a art theater, check their monthly schedule and go see a film that isn't so conventional and is not in the other theaters.

But I want to go deeper than just indie/art house! I enjoy movies and I enjoy them best with other people who have a passion for them. I don't just want any old type of movie though, I want movies that are outside the norm, even outside the so called indie/art house norm. I want old obscure films, new films, bad films and good films. I want this to a be festival that exposes people to new tastes in film, and more importantly expose them to colorful minded people (fuck like minded, we need some weirdos!!). I want discussion and interaction with the film instead of just silent viewing and then leaving afterwards - not being able to talk about a film is like eating half a candy bar and saying you ate it all. Frankly I want a regular fest of films people can attend where they know they will encounter something new, thoughtful and open discussion, and camaraderie!


So, let's do this joint!
