The lecture yesterday was interesting. i thought it was really cool how much cinema has changed and the challenges cinema have faced over the years due to technological advances. I can't say i would enjoy shock-cinema or smell-o-vision, but they were pretty funny ideas to keep the audience interested. Even though i know i can hop on my computer and download a video illegally, i still visit the cinemas often. Its an experience with the wide screen and the popcorn. Its not the same when your stuck in your room or something watching a blurred movie on your small computer screen. I think cinema will live on :)

1. 'Mankind is no Island' won Tropfest 2008. Its a film made completely on a mobile phone and is shot between two cities, New York USA and Sydney AUS. The film uses words and pictures to tell a story of homelessness and peoples lack of empathy for them. Its a hard hitting story that makes you think about what you can do for other less fortunate than yourself. NO wonder it won Tropfest.
2. 'The Picnic' won tropfest NY 2007. It was filmed in Marrickville AUS by Belinda King. The story follows a group of friends going on a picnic that turns very nasty. Its quite a weird, evil sense of humour.
3. 'The Plan' is an award winning short film that trades in everything and travels to vegas to bet all. On his trip he meets a girl who changes things up. The has been some critique about the film because it is said that some ideas have been stolen from another short film called 'SNAP', it is also suggested that film is very cliche.
