film-riss
last week there was a filmriss-festival at my university where they showed movies of ongoing future super-producers. it`s a four day competition with different movie-categories. some of them are really crazy. the first film I saw was about students dressed up as sperms going on holiday. at the end they all died. it was quite… weird. if it had any deeper meaning I didn’t get it.
another movie of that category showed a big fat Elvis imitator slaughtering and eating all the people passing by his home. when a policemen shot him to death the spirit of Elvis gave him back life so he could continue getting "flesh for the king" as the title said. so strange, but fortunately this was just one category.
there were also a lot of normal really good movies and very interesting documentations. one was about a female teacher in Colombia and what she did to help the people there. during the take guerrillas came to the village coz they heard of foreigners making a video. the film crew had to hide and and the people of the village helped them to flee in a fisher boat at night. later on they got help by the official police, but when the police heard that the guerrillas where after them they left the crew alone again. really scary. the crew then stopped the recording two and a half weeks prior and went to the beach instead. well done I would say.
some of my friends from studies handed in a movie too, but they didn’t´t make any prize. another movie from some people of my university made the 2nd place, but I don´t think it was so good coz I couldn’treally follow the story. some guy dreaming he is running around in the woods naked. (it was in the same category as the student-sperms).
all in all it was a lot of fun and made me regret having taken journalism as my major. making movies must be so cool. my sister is fascinated too. she already started to write a screenplay. it´s going to be a horror movie and she offered me the role of the girl staying alive longest. I´m so flattered.
hope she doesn’t work on a real-life play
julia still alive
