Cornwall Film Festival 2009

Cornwall Film Festival has taken place in Falmouth for the past 8 years, and this year promises to be the best yet. If you're looking for an opportunity to learn more about film - this is the place for you.

From professional development workshops to premiere film screenings, Cornwall Film Festival offers teachers and students alike, the chance to experience what life is like working in one of the most exciting creative and media industries.

I spoke with Donna Anton, festival director, to find out more about what's going on in 2009. Listen to my interview here:

I'm particularly interested in The Big Pitcher (Sunday 15 Nov 7:15-8:30, UCF Woodlane Lecture Theatre):

"Now in its fourth year, and still not banned, this wild and chaotic festival favourite returns to give desperate filmmakers the opportunity to pitch for £100 awards to make their next great epic. The catch is that they have to do it in a maximum of two minutes in front of a live audience - who are both judge and jury. Hosted once again by trail-blazing production company o-region, the event will also feature the world premieres of last year's survivors ('winners', we mean 'winners')".

I'm gonna try my luck and pitch my own idea for a film (details to follow - when I've actually come up with an idea). I've managed to blag myself a press-pass for the weekend so there's no excuse not to give it a go. I'll be filming the whole thing for my blog... so watch this space - or - come and join me. What have you got to lose? (Except your dignity).
