Details still being hammered out but it looks like we've got Sunday Jan 3, 2-10 PM, downtown at the Youth Hostel. See edit below!
Putting together a slate of feature films, shorts, novelty films-- especially would like submissions of local films.
The film fest is very laid back-- free entry, folks can come and go as they please throughout the day, we'll pass a hat to pay for the space and maybe have a little money left over for other bikewinter projects. No renumeration is offered for any submissions, you just help the effort and get to see your film shown to an audience. No rights are transferred by submitting a film, other than that by doing so you agree that it can be shown unless you communicate otherwise.
Message me or write to ho3ard @ fastmail . net (remove spaces)

(edit-- originally listed Sunday Jan 2-- corrected to Jan 3)

IMPORTANT EDIT 12/16: Looks like we scored Facets!
See event listing:

I went to find an image for the event icon but realized it would be better if our local talent were willing to create one. Please help!

If anyone heard me sniffling in the back of the theater during Bicycle Dreams, it was only because I accidentally rubbed a Jalepeno pepper in my eye...

That was such an awesome movie!

Ditto (about the awesomeness of the movie, and I only caught the last 10 minutes). Replay sometime soon????

I'm not sure if this is even an option and I'm not sure who the orginizers of the Film Fest are but perhaps someone knows them well enough to possibly borrow the DVD (if in fact it is a DVD) and show it at a get-together of some sort. I'm sure there are lots of people that didnt get to see it or didnt get to see all of it but would still want to see it.

The DVD is only $20 plus shipping from the movie website. I'll buy the DVD if someone can host...

I'd be glad to host such a get together but I dont own a TV.

Good idea but hold off on the purchase-- the filmmaker has offered to donate a portion of sales of the DVD to bikewinter.org- there's a special referral box going up on the film site tomorrow night for 48 hours-- will send out an e-mail blast and post an update here when the link is live.

I was also quite surprised at how emotional the film was-- was thinking it would be all about personal achievement and such and was caught off guard for the way it made you think about what you value . . .

I just tried to do this, and am getting an error when the Bicycle Dreams site tries to connect me with PayPal. Has anyone been successful in making this purchase?

Thanks Joe! You might be the first to try-- would be interested in the specific error text.
