An artist cannot make a masterpiece unless he has opened himself and loved something enough to get it all the way over to the audience... If you keep at it and care enough, and if the gods give you an occasion... and you are full of love and excitement... and then if you have enough enthusiasm left to sit at a dusty table with it and re-construct that moment - then you get a work of art. - Brakhage
Wow. I am so incredibly behind in updating this thing! Life has been busy. But I had to drop in briefly to announce that KISS THE PAPER will be screening at two great festivals over the next few weeks.
First up,
Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival, nestled in the wine country of Northern California. I hear that folks love letterpress in these parts, so I hope they'll come out for the show. The film is part of the shorts program that plays on Saturday, March 31st at 11:30am.
And then after Sebastopol, KISS THE PAPER travels back to the East Coast for the illustrious Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, which runs April 12th thru 15th in lovely Durham, North Carolina. Don't know the exact screening time yet, but Indiewire has published the official lineup of films, which looks fantastic! I'll be attending this one and can't wait to partake in the bounty... (P.S. I'm bringing letterpress printed posters, postcards, and DVDs with me!)
KISS THE PAPER will be screening next at
Big Sky Documentary Film Festival! Catch the film at the Crystal Theatre on Saturday February 18 @ 2:20 pm.
Some of our new friends from the Slamdance Americana Documentary Shorts program will also be showing their beautiful films (keep an eye out for Josh Gibson, Brian Bolster, and Kevin Gordon), along with several filmmaking pals from Seattle (Tracy Rector, Ellen Fricke, and Gretchen Burger)... Looks like it'll be a week and a half of documentary bliss out there in Montana.
