Archive for the ‘Film’ Category

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to turn around and see an actor or director sitting next to you at a movie?  I had that experience on several occasions this week at the 2nd Annual Naperville Independent Film Festival or NIFF in Naperville, Illinois.I have been a fan of independent film for a number of years.  To me, independent film offers a more representative palette of human creativity.  It is the minor league for Hollywood films.

When I watch independent films, I look for positive elements that stand out.  Independent film makers do not have access to the same resources as Hollywood film makers, so I believe it is only fair to keep an open mind.  I remind myself to not make harsh judgments by comparing independent film to big budget Hollywood films.  The result is almost always a pleasant surprise.  I now enjoy the wonderful surprises that are created by independent and student film makers.  It is like finding gold nuggets along a path.

I found quite a few gold nuggets this week.  Before I share them with you, I should say that I have no aspirations to be a film critic.  I have a problem criticizing what I have not done myself.  I also have a problem with others criticizing what they have not done or what they are unable to do themselves.  I am a film enthusiast so without further disclaimers, I will provide my positive comments for 6 of the 11 films that I had the pleasure to watch.

The Exhibition by Director Producer Robert MacFarlane is an interesting view into the tortured mind of an artist and accident victim.  The film grabs the audience right away with a scene from an accident.  The story quickly develops with conflict experienced by the main character.  He struggles to produce his art while haunted by the memory of a terrible accident.  The film makes very efficient use of time and images to tell a bigger story, and then resolves very nicely at the end.  Every element in this 8 minute film deserves recognition.
