Finally, short films worth seeing!

Thursday, June 16th I will have the pleasure to show 7 of my favorite picks, chosen from the hundreds of short films I have seen at Concordia in the last 3 years.

An hour and a half of spellbinding, deeply moving and hilarious films!

Dramas, comedies, poetic films…

And for those of you who haven’t seen ‘La Neige Rouillée’ the film that I made last year in memory of my father, this is your chance.

Los Mujeres de Pinochet, Eddie Menz
Vaisseau Fantôme, Anna Woch
Grassroots, John Keevil
Rushing ahead without seeing, Anna Sarkassian
La Neige Rouillée, Tamara Taddeo
Noir en Homme, Alexandre Gibault
Pink Fuck, Heather Warwick

Hope to see you on thursday the 16th,

Cheers,
Tamara

Animation Students present their 2005 Animation Festival at Hall Building, Tuesday, May 10th from 7pm to 10pm EDT, although please give generously at the door as they modestly suggest a $2 donation.

Sunday, May 8th offers a night of Student Narrative Fiction Films at the Hall Building, at Concordia University. It begins at 7pm EDT.

Dan Cross’ Third Year Film Production year end screenings, held on Saturday, May 7, 2005 AD, at Concordia University’s Hall Building beginning at 7pm EDT.

MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts will be hosting it’s first and only Time Traveler Convention Saturday, beginning at 8:00pm EDT on Saturday, May 7, 2005 AD [see link below].

This would be very bad for cinephiles in Montreal as attendance would make them miss the Dan Cross’ Third Year Film Production year end screenings, held on that same Saturday, May 7, 2005 AD, at Concordia University’s Hall Building beginning at 7pm EDT. Given that it takes nearly 6 hours to drive from Montreal to Cambridge, it would be impossible to attend both.

Or would it…? Time travel may present the only viable solution as both the conference and the Year End screenings welcome time travelers (but encourage them to bring some measure of proof).

Failing that, Saturday’s is not the only of the Year End festivities in the film production programme. Friday, May 6th will see Third Year Films from Guylaine Dionne’s class; Sunday, May 8th offers a night of Narrative Fiction Films; culminating in Monday, May 9th 2005 AD, with showcases Experimental and Documentary work from Concordia’s production programme. All shows are in room H-110 of Concordia’s Hall Building at 1455 de Maisonneuve W and screenings begin at 7pm EDT. A $5 donation is suggested.

Not to be outdone, the Animation Students present their 2005 Animation Festival at the same location, Tuesday, May 10th from 7pm to 10pm EDT, although please give generously at the door as they modestly suggest a $2 donation.
