3rd & 4th Screenings at Clermont-Ferrand

We missed posting the 3rd screening blog last night - so here is the round up on screening 3 and 4 together.


Screening 3 was at the Capitole Cinema which was an awesome cinema with some of the most comfortable cinema chairs I have ever sat in. Screening went really well with a full house again.  Lots of laughs in all the right places and a big round of applause at the end. Very happy with the response.


Screening 4 has just finished a little while ago at the Centre Jaude Cinema.  The cinema was packed, so packed that Jess and I almost didn't get a seat to our own film :) This was the best audience reaction yet of all the screenings.  This audience got all the jokes and laughed the whole way through the film. Round of applause after the screening was awesome. We then received another round of applause after the credits.  We could not be happier with the reaction to the film.


We also have been able to spend the last couple of days watching the other amazing short films in the International Competition. Let's just say that there are some awesome films this year - very stiff competition. Some of them are so good we want to see them again.

"Nyarma" Director: Edgar Bartenev (Russia)
"Slitage" Director: Patrik Eklund (Sweden)
"Civil...But Not Civilized" Director: George Tarabay (Lebanon)
