MIDI IN TORONTO! October 22, 2008

Filed under: performance/events, FILM SCREENINGS — bling @ 6:11 am

So Dan Popa’s film MIDI had it’s International premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this past September and it was a hit! We still can’t believe that we got to see his film projected on 35mm on the huge screen at the AMC theater and we’re terribly happy that everyone came out to see it among the SHORT CUTS CANADA program. Some of our other favorites among this program were PASSAGE by Karl Lemieux, PASSAGES by Marie Josée Saint-Pierre and SUNDAY by JAMIE M. DAGG.
Here’s some photos (by KAROL PIVON) from the festivities…Enjoy!

So the 24KARROTS team just got back from Toronto where we premiered our Nepalese documentary “BEYOND THE VALLEY” and it was a success! Thanks to MEG FOX and her wonderful team we were able to participate in this beautiful Gala showcasing young musicians, painters and photographers. Our film was well received and we were glad to get some good feedback from those who attended the event. Keep your eyes and ears open for the Montreal premiere of BEYOND THE VALLEY which should happen in the near future. Until then, here are some photos from the Gala night…Enjoy!

An Outdoor Screening in CHinatown, what!

So we should have written about this sooner… but… the pictures we far far away, saved on my digital camcam, and totally out of my lazy reach.
These are a few photos of a screening organized by Nomad Moments (the kind folks at Moment Factory). Participants had a weekend to shoot a short short film, edit and screen it too. The initial inspiration of

each film was given to them via a fortune cookie, and the whole thing had to be shot in Chinatown, where it was later screened.

The following photos are still from Dand and Robby’s films, clik on them, they will take you to the real deal.
