this is a great festival, so if you’re in the area, go and chek it out…

frantisek, do you know if there’s a chance of obtaining a copy of a movie they screened about two years ago? do they have an archive or do you know someone who got access to all that?

Hi Luke, yes to both questions :) I know the people well, and at the festival there are about ten booths with videos and computers so you can view the whole archive… Sending a copy would be probably a bit difficult, because of © and such things… :( But I could try. What film interested you? Or if it’s a bland news season in March next year, you can come and see it here :)
