Top Ten Competiton Special Announcement!

 

Special announcement about the Top Ten Competition!!

Breaking news from the headquarters of the Legion of Doom.

Due to the number of entrants for this year’s Top Ten competition being slightly down in comparison to previous years, it has been decided that club members will be given an extra chance to submit a film with the addition of a bonus round!

The deadline is the club meeting on Tuesday 4th December 2012, so anyone who was unable to submit a film in their allotted round or didn’t get round to making one, this is your chance to rectify this and make your mark on this year’s contest.

A reminder of the members who have not submitted a film this year:

Gwen Whippy

Ian Menage

Ed Jarnot

Cherie Hamlet-Smith

Peter Mitchell

Members are encouraged to make the most of the next four weeks to get their films ready for viewing. With plenty of festive occasions this time of year brings, the scope for providing an interesting document  to share with the rest of the club is wider than usual. Or if you have an unfinished project gathering dust, here’s hoping for a last minute burst of inspiration for you to complete it.

So, please take advantage of this extra opportunity and we look forward to seeing your films on the December 4th.

OVFM Club Meeting Tuesday November 6th 2012

ovfmcompcorn

 

November kicks off with two of OVFM’s longest running competitions taking place: The Vic Treen Trophy and the Kath Jones Cup.

A quick reminder of what is expected for each one:

The Vic Treen Trophy is a film set to music although this means being creative with the timing and editing rather than just slapping a bit of Coldplay or Tinie Tempah over footage of your trip to Chessington Zoo.

The Kath Jones Cup requires a comedy film of no longer than five minutes that has a definitive punchline to it; in other words a short comic sketch if you will.

Attending club members will score the films for both competitions on the night with the winners to be announced at the Oscars next year.

Good luck to all who enter their films this year. Here’s to a potentially fun and rocking evening!!

OVFM Club Meeting Tuesday October 23rd 2012

 

And so the final of the initial qualifying rounds of this year’s competition is upon us. We’ve seen some interesting films thus far so hopefully this session wouldn’t disappoint either.

If last year is any indicator, some of you will be leaving it to the last minute before making your film which would suggest a healthy turn out of entries to close this opening stage of the contest.

The remaining club members invited to provide their films are:

 

Andy & Marian Watson

Jim Morton Robertson

Barbara Walker

Mike Bishop

Andy Webb

Basil Doody

Sylvia Snipp

Ray Hewitt

Derek Allen

Alan Smith

Malcolm Goodwin

Susan Ward

Len Lawrence

 

Please reply to this post if you will be providing a film for this week’s session.

If you don’t then have a film ready please let Brenda Wheatley but I’m sure that those who missed their spot earlier in the contest will be able to provide ample substitution.

Good luck to everyone who enters a film!

OVFM Club Meeting Tuesday September 25th 2012

 

Okay folks, we have arrived at Round 4 of the Top Ten competition. With such an event filled summer with the Olympics, Paralympics and the traditional season for holidays abroad, the past few months should have been a fertile source of inspiration for all of you to make a film or two.

With that said, here are the members selected to provide a film for this session:

 

Brian Pfeiffer

Mike Shaw

Craig Robinson

Ann & John Epton

John Ransley

John Alford

Tony Faller

Pat Palmer

Anna Littler

Ann Perrin & Alan Gage

 
Please reply to this post if you will be providing a film at this week’s session.

If you don’t then have a film ready please let Brenda Wheatley know so that she can try to find someone else to fill the gap in the evening. If your film is ready early please feel free to bring it along to any top ten night and if there is time we will show it.

If you miss your given round you can bring your film along to a later one, but it will only be shown after those drawn for that round, if there is time.

Good luck to everyone who enters a film!

OVFM Club Meeting Tuesday August 28th 2012

Alan Whippy

Reg Lancaster

Freddy Beard

Brenda & Roger Wheatley

Peter Llewllyn Smith

Jess & Richard Pugh

Barbara J. Darby

Rob Knox Film Festival 2012 Report

 

 

Rob Knox Film Festival 2012 Report

by

Charlie Caseley

 

This years Rob Knox Film Festival was for me as good as it gets. The entries were first class, and that included those entries that did not make the final show at the Cineworld, because a number of films are shown around the Borough of Bexley at venues such as schools and church halls.

This situation is different from most festivals we attend, Kent and the SERIAC for instance the films are shown in one location, in fact the only festivals that would have their movies shown on a number of screens would possibly be BIAFF and UNICA, but even then it would be in one building. Nellie and I went to one of the preliminary screenings and saw Eco, a Borderline film we had seen at BIAFF and SERIC, and a movie made by a fifteen year old lad that we had seen at BIAFF in a group of films made by young people that was introduced by our very own Sam Brown.

On the final night at the Cineworld Reg and Annabelle, Freddie and some members from Shooters Hill came along with Nellie and I and enjoyed a feast of not just good films but outstanding films. The winning movie was a Russian entry called Ambitious. I have changed my opinion of Russians being completely with out humour this film did not need subtitles to make you laugh, a joy to watch.

In addition to the shows there was the masterclasses hosted by people from the film industry and I am pleased a number of local film makers took advantage of them.

OVFM Club Meeting Tuesday June 19th 2012

It’s time for OVFM to re-enact the American civil War. Sort of.

The annual North vs South competition is looming again (that’s pretty much how annual events work) and our inestimable chairman Chris “Cats” Coulson has decreed that OVFM as a club (that means ALL of us and not just the same old faces) will make and enter a film in this year’s comp. And win it. (Stop laughing at the back!)

Rather than follow the usual of a selection of random films thrown in for judging, a theme is selected to make things just that bit more interesting. This year’s theme is “No Way Back”. What can that mean? Well that is what we are going to discuss at this week’s club meeting.

So any ideas you may have, be it a title suggestion, a plot outline or even a finished script, bring them along to the meeting and share them with us all so we can debate, deliberate and defenestrate to lay the foundation for what will eventually become OVFM’s 2012 North vs South winning entry! Yay! Go Us!

See you on Tuesday!
