FESTIVAL SCREENING THIS MONTH IN USA (Added 2012-01-29 20:27:34 GMT)
|
|
Just a reminder that there's a chance to see the second film in our Beat series in a couple of weeks at The Macon Film Festival, USA.
The schedule and tickets are now online from HERE.
They must have quite liked us since a short clip from the film features in their official promotional film which you can watch below. That's actor Philip Bulcock on the hunt for Apollinaire at 20 secs in.
Bizarelly, at 30 secs in there are a few seconds from the feature film Lovelorn which was directed and written by Rebecca Preston who worked with us on the first of our Beat films.

2012 STARTS WITH A BANG (Added 2012-01-05 19:43:55 GMT)

2012 is already shaping up to be a great year for us with news today that At Apollinaire's Grave has been accepted into Official Competition at The Macon Film Festival.
Now in its seventh year, The Macon Film Festival (MAGA) takes place in Macon, Georgia, USA. A well respected and internationally renowned festival, we are absolutely thrilled to be part of the festival and to be screening in competition.
It's especially exciting as Macon is the location of one of Nic's favourite films, Wise Blood starring Brad Dourif and Harry Dean Stanton. Macon was also the filming location for the films The Crazies and Fried Green Tomatoes, as well as being the home of The Allman Brothers Band and Otis Redding.
This now means that At Apollinaire's Grave has screened in competition at two American Festivals (Berkeley and MAGA) and two European Festivals (London and Slough), as well as out of competition at Cannes 2011.
More information and tickets can be obtained from the OFFICIAL HOMEPAGE.

THOUGHTS FROM CAMILLE (Added 2011-11-28 20:51:43 GMT)
|
|
We were delighted recently to receive a letter from Carolyn Cassady after she'd viewed a copy of At Apollinaire's Grave.
Carolyn is an American writer associated with the Beat Generation through her marriage to Neal Cassady and her friendships with Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and other prominent Beat figures. She is, of course, immortalised as Camille in Kerouac's On The Road.
In her letter, Carolyn had this to say - I wish you all the best with your endeavours; the cinematography was excellent and [director Nic Saunders] obviously has talent.
Carolyn is also the author of the excellent Off The Road, a memoir of her time with Neal, Jack and Allen. It has recently been re-issued and can be bought HERE for a limited time in a signed edition.
We were delighted to hear from Carolyn and you can check out whether or not you agree with her assessment THIS WEEK if you live in the UK as the film will be screening as part of The Underground London Film Festival. All the information you need is HERE.

FIRST PRESS FOR FILM THREE (Added 2011-11-09 20:46:48 GMT)
|
|
One Night At The Aristo - aka Film Three in our series of Beat films - has a substantial article in this month's SHOCK HORROR MAGAZINE.
Inspired by a short story by William S Burroughs, the film has a fantasy / horror element and features a creature creation made especially for the film by internationally respected special f/x artist Mike Peel - and it's Mike's work on the film that is the subject of the article in the magazine.
While it will be some time before the film itself is ready, it's fantastic to receive coverage in such a well known genre publication and the Beats probably haven't found themselves in such a magazine since David Cronenberg's adaptation of Burrough's Naked Lunch.
The magazine is available from HMV or online direct HERE.

WORK CONTINUES SLOWLY ON BURROUGHS PROJECT (Added 2011-11-04 19:18:46 GMT)
|
|
Due to some behind the scenes issues, work has slowed on the third film in our Beat series since filming wrapped in Tangiers, but there was a little forward momentum this week as the exclusive photo below reveals.
Musician Daniel Taylor was in the studio working on one of the songs for the film. With scenes set in a jazz club, film three includes some original material from talented singer songwriter Daniel, who also has a small acting role in the film.
Besides his work with 14167 Films, Daniel is also a member of gypsy jazz band La Mort Subite whose music you can check out HERE.
Work will commence again in earnest towards the end of the year, but keep an eye on the skies for all the latest developments which, as usual, will always be reported here first.

BVFF REVIEW ONLINE (Added 2011-10-08 14:17:53 BST)
|
|
Last weekend our film At Apollinaire's Grave won The Grand Festival Award at The Berkeley Film & Video Festival in California.
2011 was the 20th anniversary of the festival and as such there was more news and press coverage than normal. One such press article has been reproduced on the Official Homepage where you can also see a picture of poet Jack Foley accepting our award.
The articles draws attention to several films being shown over the three days and says of our film "Nic Saunders’ film lifted us into another space entirely: symbolic, richly allusive, compelling. Philip Bulcock’s performance and reading of the verse were superb—and Aden Cardy-Brown as Apollinaire’s ghost was a marvelous presence."
Keep watching the skies ...
