FilmSlam #7 - Sunday July 8th
(released
7/6/2007)
By greenroomwire
July's FilmSlam will be held this Sunday, July 8th at 1pm at the Enzian Theater. The event is breaking from its normal 6 short films and running 8 films this month. Barring any technical difficulties, the whole FilmSlam should run about an hour including time for a Q&A with some of the filmmakers.
How the FilmSlam Works
Each audience member in attendance is given a ballot for which to vote for their favorite film of the month, the winner of which then goes on to the GrandSlam at Brouhaha Film & Video Showcase (December 8 & 9). There, the short selected by the audience from the nearly 70 FilmSlam movies of 2007 will get an automatic slot in the 2008 Florida Film Festival.
