Goodbye Firefly, Hello Back Row
The UTC-based organizers of the Firefly Film Festival, the Hunter Museum of American Art and the Arts and Education Council are joining forces to create the Back Row Film Series and Festival beginning in the summer of 2006. Opening night will take place on April 15 and will feature short films by local filmmakers, followed by 4 film nights (on the first Thursdays of every month, May through August) at the Hunter Museum's new theater, culminating with a festival event in September at which awards will be given to selected entrants.
Organizers are now looking for entries from any and all local and regional filmmakers. Films will be reviewed by the 2006 Back Row Film Series committee and, after all qualifying entries are considered, a total of 10 films will be juried by an independent panel of Judges during the Film Series. Awards will be presented at the conclusion of the Film Series on Friday, September 15, 2006. While the decisions of the Judges are considered to be final, any winning entry found to have violated the rules and regulations of the Film Series may have the award forfeited. It is permissible for a film to have entered or won other contests.
The committee formerly known as Firefly will also be partnering with the Hunter and AEC film committees as promoters of local film and will work together to produce workshops for locals (including high school and college students) as a way for writers, filmmakers and enthusiasts to network and collaborate on future projects.
