¡The first ever Berlin Spanish Film Festival hits the city this November!

Filmmaker Arin Crumley offers a round-up of NYC’s DIY Days and shares the tools, insights and inspirations this innovative conference can bring to the cinema of today... and tomorrow



I was invited to provide a guest blog post to supportyourlocalcinema.com and decided that since DIY Days explores innovative audience-focused business models, that I would try to share what I experienced at the event and how these ideas can be applied to local cinema…

One of my favourite pastimes of late, in fact a way to waste uncountable hours in gentle awe and bizarre discovery, is to search for relevant images to support the content on this site. It's a difficult thing to have to do: to find generic images that represent specific theories on a regular basis, and then to make sure that they are in the public domain to be pinched for our purposes! So it was with great relief that I took advice from…

There's nothing better than a sixteen hour bus journey* to reflect on a whirlwind few days at an international film festival.  Particularly when a major focus of your time there had been spent moving forward on say... a free iPhone app for independent cinemas that's been in the pipeline for a few months now.  Oh, and showcasing, brainstorming and discussing a cinema industry website…

Join us for an informal SylC catch-up on the afternoon of 16th February at Yorck-Kino GmbH, Rankestraße 31, 10789 Berlin from 2.30pm - 5pm.  Feel free to stop by at any time during the afternoon and meet the team. It's very informal and you don't need to be there the whole time, you just need to be there! :)  However, please let us know if you will be coming so that we can make enough coffee!

I know that this sentence doesn't sound as though it makes sense.

And why thank you? Well, this is where I…

OK. It's Friday. It's near Christmas. It's time for some useful but entertaining videos with a valuable SylC message. If anyone asks you what you're watching and looks at you askew or accusingly, tell them it's research. It is!

Indeed! What could be more relevant and/or entertaining than Christmas viral videos? It's not long away, but there's still time to make a cheap, effective Christmas movie gift…

Our experience at Edinburgh’s Filmhouse once again highlights the power of programming, I get the full audience experience by watching two films in one evening, and an April Fools joke on Facebook proves just how well loved the Filmhouse is by its current audience…

Edinburgh Filmhouse is very familiar to me. As producer of the East End Film Festival from 2003-2007, I found myself annually returning to beautiful Edinburgh only to ignore…
