The
Georgetown Film Feswtival, 2001 - It was a wonderful idea
and a great effort by so many people, all tucked into a little
alley in Georgetown, in a space that had laid empty for 15 years
until we stumbled into it. The Festival has a remarkable track
record and so many people have passed across our screens who
are now in Hollywood or in Berlin, Aspen or London, or Cairo
or Bangkok still making the wonderful films and keeping in touch.
We are still looking for a home similar to the look and feel of
the space you see above. Developers and land speculators have got
hold of our little theatre, and are turning the property into a
retail space, so we are looking elsewhere, across the city and
all over the area to find the right urban environment to open back
up in 2008. We have many, many filmmakers and writers who have
been so loyal and supportive and have helped in many, many ways
to locate the right space for us... that we may find a home very
soon.
We are taking submissions for 2008, but we may find that we'll
be screening in some pretty odd spaces... which will only add to
the urban focus in a good way! |
