FilmSlam #7 - Sunday July 8th
(released
Friday, July 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.
