April 2014 Audience Award Winner
Thanks to everyone who attended our last screening. Our Audience Award this time was a bit of a landslide, proving that romance will always have a strong appeal, not to mention very innovative filmmaking techniques! Congratulations to Erik Schmitt and his team. Hopefully by the time the Canadian dollar is exchanged for Euros, you can […]
Full Program for April 17th Screening

Clermont-Ferrand: Day 9
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival from January 31st to February 8th Well, it’s pretty much over now. This morning, I only headed to the Maison de la Culture because I’d been emailing Paul Tom, the director of Un pays de silences, and he told me he […]
Clermont-Ferrand: Day 8
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival from January 31st to February 8th I was out the door by 9am today to get the market library for my 10am appointment and as I walked through the market you could tell things were wrapping up.

Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival from January 31st to February 8th I suppose I’m settling into maintenance mode now. I don’t have the energy for these long festivals, I think. Or at least I find being around large anonymous crowds is draining my energy. I’m spending […]

Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival from January 31st to February 8th Even though I was in bed by 10:30pm last night, I still woke up at 3am and couldn’t fall back asleep for a very long time. As a result, I slept right through my 7am […]
Clermont-Ferrand: Day 4
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival from January 31st to February 8th I must be getting used to the local time zone because my old friend insomnia was back last night with a vengeance. I went to bed by 1am but was awake at 4am and had […]
Clermont-Ferrand: Day 3
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival from January 31st to February 8th Slept a little later than I would have liked, which ruled out anything screening at 10am so I decided to head to the Capitole cinema to see I11, which included Melissa Hickey’s film Ni-Ni. I’d […]
