REAL FILM at film festivals...

[Lance Lucero]

REAL FILM at film festivals...  Kind of makes sense, right?  Well, not on the modern "film" festival circuit.  Every film festival I have attended or been a part of the last five years (live or online) is primarily about HD.

Usually I am the only filmmaker who shoots on film when my films play at a festival, unless the festival is truly specific to ACTUAL FILM, like the United States Super 8 Film and Digital Video Festival.  You see how the title of the festival states FILM and digital video...?

Recently I attended the 2022 Spring Austin Micro Film Festival.  A really cool Festival!  I had two experimental films play,

WAITING FOR LEGROS 

and

WAITING FOR LEGROS 2: THE EYE OF THE TIGER

Both films shot on Super 8.  I was surprised to see another film the was shot on film at the festival, and it was really good!

I am pleased to announce that my latest short film THE UNMENTIONABLES (16mm, Tri-X 7266) will play at the 2022 Oregon Short Film Festival. 

I hope to see more films shot on film in the future!  Don't give up on it!

Good work, Lance. Keep on raging against the machine. There's plenty of people shooting on film, these days. Check out this Vimeo channel dedicated to projects shot on film. You will be inspired.  There's some good stuff in there.

Hi, the next weekend we celebrate in Calella (Spain), the 49th film festival, all shoot on real film in 9,5mm. We still resist.

Lance, that is an interesting concept. Shooting on film for film festivals. I've only been to mini film festivals. Everything I've ever seen has been digital. Something different for sure. Good luck with your films!
