• Foster a community of women filmmakers, scholars, instructors who teach film and filmmaking, and film lovers who support each other. We hope to be joined by men who are interested in films made by women, as well as male filmmakers, scholars, and filmmaking/film instructors. Our aim is for our community to be diverse in terms of race, class, and sexual orientation.<br />
• Shed light on the work of talented and committed women filmmakers working today, who, like Varda, don’t have the visibility they merit. We do this in the form of reviews of films made by women, and less often films by men featuring prominent female roles. We also have interviews with women filmmakers and through our featured member section we share narratives of the experiences women undergo as they stand behind the camera. We also discuss the history of women and feminist filmmakers through our critical analyses of past and current films.<br />
• Help women not trained in cinematic techniques be able to tell stories in this powerful medium."<br />(source: http://agnesfilms.com/about/)<br />Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/agnesfilms" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/agnesfilms</a></span></li><br />

Most probably this idea already exists, however...<br />
<br />
Imagine you wrote a script.<br />
Now you're at that point to send your script to different people.<br />
<br />
Ever thought about turning your script into audiobook?<br />
<br />
Many people don't have the time to read a text actively. But maybe there's time left to hear a text -in this case your script- at home, while traveling by plane/train/subway etc...<br />
Possibly you could subdivide your audioscript into different chapters, and put a little intro or summary at the beginning to catch the attention. And you need a good voice.<br />
<br />
I guess your script in a written form with your script as audiobook increase the possiblity that it will be read/heard.<br />
<br />
Happy writing and talking :).Jessihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06145159805007896270noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637620372502346407.post-51923395825804741302010-08-26T18:32:00.003+02:002011-01-12T17:45:12.490+01:00Film Funding<a href="http://sif-supportforindependentfilmmakers.blogspot.com/2010/08/film-funding.html#up" name="up">TOC</a><br />

<blockquote>"The Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg supports films and film-related projects in the categories of script development, project development, package promotion, production, distribution and sales, and other activities. A sole authority, the managing director, makes all final decisions. The managing director works with a team of advisers. They handle individual projects and also advise the applicants. A meeting with an advisor is a mandatory part of the application process. Application forms can only be obtained directly from the advisors.<br />
Since 1994 more than 2,500 film projects have obtained € 293 million in grants. The economic benefit of film promotion for the region is huge - and it can be expressed in figures. Each production that is shot in Berlin and/or Brandenburg entails investments, creates jobs and sustains employment. For every euro spent on aid to moviemakers, an average of four euros is injected into the local economy.<br />

<b>First ideas</b><br />
<i>(These are the first rough ideas, let's see how far we get ;) )</i><br />
<br />
I was thinking about a new contest/competition.<br />
Think about your favourite movie scene. Got it? Do you know the lines? Ok, here we go:<br />
Now pick your mobile or another camera and play your favourite movie scene by yourself and record it.<br />
After that you can edit it (or not) and upload it. <i>(Don't know where, maybe we'll get a solution for that)</i><br />
Others can rate your movie scene.<br />
If you got the most rates you'll win something <i>(Hmm, what could this be...)</i><br />
<br />
I'd like to mention that I first of all thought about people who have no professional education as actor/actress.<br />
<br />
There could be different categories: male/female, playback/original voice, best performance and many more...<br />
<br />
<b>Why</b><br />
For fun.<br />
To discover unknown talent.<br />
To bring new faces to the screen.<br />
<br />
Maybe we can develop this thing together...Jessihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06145159805007896270noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637620372502346407.post-16272625208123262902010-07-06T17:37:00.000+02:002010-07-06T17:37:55.446+02:00Film FestivalsI found some interesting websites about film festivals I thought you might like:<br />
<br />
<b>Movie Festivals and Events</b><br />
(<a href="http://www.imdb.com/festivals/" target="_blank">http://www.imdb.com/festivals/</a>)<br />
This is a list of upcoming festivals and those which already occured for the running year worldwide. <br />
Here are the date, the place and the link to the festivals.<br />
<br />
<b>Film Festival World</b><br />
(<a href="http://www.filmfestivalworld.com/" target="_blank">http://www.filmfestivalworld.com/</a>)<br />
I really like that one. You can search by location, there is a calendar for deadlines and opening dates, festival maps by continent, festival+film genres, a list of all festivals in alphabetical order and much more.<br />
<br />
<b>Film Festivals Worldwide</b><br />
(<a href="http://www.digitaldiscounts.com/film.html" target="_blank">http://www.digitaldiscounts.com/film.html</a>)<br />
Not as detailed as the list on imdb+Film Festival World, ordered by country.<br />
Here are the month, the address and sometimes the phone numbers+mail/link for the festivals.<br />
Just ignore the ads at the top ;).Jessihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06145159805007896270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637620372502346407.post-82157401598933549382009-11-06T13:00:00.002+01:002015-09-25T16:12:57.749+02:00General filmmaking tips<a href="http://sif-supportforindependentfilmmakers.blogspot.com/2009/10/general-filmmaking-tips.html#up" name="up">TOC</a><br />

"The very first Raindance event was in April 1992 when we hosted a film seminar with the Hollywood maverick, Dov Simens.<br />
<br />
Since 1993 the Raindance Film Festival has annually uncovered the
hottest new filmmakers to hit the cinematic scene. Some
Raindance-premiered hits are Pulp Fiction, Memento, the Blair Witch
Project, Ghost World and Love Exposure.<br />
<br />
In 1998 Raindance launched the <a href="http://www.bifa.org.uk/" target="_blank">British Independent Film Awards</a>
– a yearly industry event attended by the upper ranks of the UK
moviemaking establishment. The BIFAs are now regarded as one of the
penultimate awards in the world film calendar. Honours have included Ben
Kingsley, Harvey Weinstein, Richard Curtis, and helped launch
countless films including 2008’s Slumdog Millionaire."</blockquote>

(...)<br />
C1) It's only a movie - no one gets hurt.<br />
(...)<br />
C2) Ask lots of questions - never assume anything.<br />
(...)<br />
C3) There are no rules in filmmaking - only sins!<br />

<blockquote>"One of the great truths of media is that there is no such thing as bad press, but how to get even bad press can be a mysterious process for filmmakers without giant, studio publicity machines behind them. There are filmmakers who seem to produce very little work, but are constantly finding their way into articles, while other good works are passed over. These seemingly arbitrary decisions can be based on anything from a writer championing a film they love to a press release arriving on a slow news day."<br />

</a></span>(via <a href="http://independent-magazine.org" target="_blank">http://independent-magazine.org</a>)<br />
<blockquote>"Whether it’s Sundance or Seattle, Outfest or Newfest, film festivals are a powerful marketing platform for independent films. But many filmmakers, especially first-time filmmakers, do not fully take advantage of these opportunities created by festivals. Too often filmmakers make the mistake of thinking that the real work in making a film is, well, making the film. But as difficult as shooting an independent film is, it is about love and passion, or should be. The real work begins after the film is completed and it is time to get the project sold, covered, and most importantly, seen. You can make this job a lot easier if you start working on it long before you get into your festival."<br />

Standing out amongst your peers is an enormous challenge, even for seasoned indie filmmakers. You could have an award winning film, but without a viewing audience your movie is worthless.

I hope this page can help and at least point some people in the right direction. Note that I realize that that direction may be different than the one I am going, and that there are other talented people out there, some with more skill and experience, and certainly better tool sets, but maybe some one can benefit from this basic advice."<br />

<blockquote>"Handling marketing and distribution yourself is a great way to ensure that you retain your rights, and maximize the amount of money you are able to earn with your independent film. The tradeoff is that you’ll need to do the work yourself, but in many cases you can make more money this way than if you have a traditional theatrical release. Unless your film has broad mainstream potential and a star or two, a theatrical release is often not even an option unless you are willing to effectively give your movie away."<br />

<blockquote>"Numerous filmmakers struggle with the ability to objectively analyze the quality of their finished film; however, taking a look at the finished product as an outsider is crucially important for determining the potential success of a film. An even more important step, and possibly one that can override the necessity of analysis after the fact, is assessing a project from the development and pre-production stages."<br />

<blockquote>"When “The Age of Stupid,” a climate change movie, “opens” across the United States in September, it will play on some 400 screens in a one-night event, with a video performance by Thom Yorke of Radiohead, all paid for by the filmmakers themselves and their backers. In Britain, meanwhile, the film has been showing via an Internet service that lets anyone pay to license a copy, set up a screening and keep the profit."<br />

<blockquote>"Getting your film made is easy, compared to the struggles filmmakers have in getting their films distributed.<br />

At Raindance Film Festival we work with countless filmmakers trying to get their shorts, features and documentaries screened to as wide an audience as possible.<br />
<br />
Of coure the filmmaker's wet dream is to have their film picked up at a film festival by an international distributor who hands them a fat cheque - a cheque large enough to pay back all the investors, all the bills, and leaving enough left over to enjoya few months secure living.<br />
<br />
