Australia's FIRST Silent Film Festival
Hey everyone,
Please check out the following, it's for Australia's first and only Silent FIlm Festival, hosted by the Deaf Society of NSW. It will be opened by David Stratton next Friday, March 30th, at 5.45pm @ the lovely Orpheum Theatre in Cremmorne. If anyone is interested/available to check it out, please do so. The festival runs over 3 days, starting next Friday until Sunday April 1st. Many of the screenings will be accompanied by a live theatrical orchestra - something you don't see too often. Details are as follows (and don't forget to check out the website down below):
Dear Eren
We refer to our earlier conversation and write to cordially invite you and a
partner to the opening of the Festival and to the opening night prescreening
function of drinks and finger food from 5.45 pm onwards on Friday March 30,
hosted by the Festival charity, the Deaf Society of NSW. This precedes the
official opening film Cyrano de Bergerac introduced by David Stratton
accompanied by the supremely talented Sharolyn Kimmorley and Jem Harding.
The Patron of the Festival Charity, the Deaf Society of NSW, Professor
Bashir, the Governor of NSW, will attend the opening at the Hayden Orpheum
at Cremorne.
As I am writing this I am listening to the music from City Lights, It's a
Dog's Life and Modern Times. Fantastic. These are the tracks for our Charlie
performer at the Orpheum promo tomorrow afternoon. General details of the
Festival are set out below and on our website.
Buster Keaton, Chaplin, Hitchcock, Murnau and many others are joining
several thousand of us in a glamorous Festival!
The inaugural Australia's Silent Film Festival shall take place in Sydney
over three days in late March this year.
The festival will feature recognized and rare masterpieces, lovingly
restored, from Australia and around the world. These outstanding films are
presented as they were originally intended to be shown: lovingly restored
with musical soundtrack accompaniment, often live. Please visit our website!
We hope that you can attend and look forward to hearing from you in this
regard.
As the Festival is nearing, any further promotion would be most welcome.
Yours sincerely
Ronnie and Sharon

2easy Movies @ UNSW
Gday guys,
Below is an email from James @ 2easy Movies. You may have seen the DVD vending machine across from the Roundhouse on campus recently and said to yourself, "wtf?" - so here's the lowdown! James has been in contact with us and is keen to develop a relationship with CiNEsoc members. Please review his email and if you wish to take up the cool offers @ 2easy Movies, please let us know!!!
Ez.
I am a student here at UNSW and I have tried to create the lowest possible
prices for movie rentals given the student population. This has been
achieved by offering approximately half price rentals when compared to the
major DVD rental competitors.
I am trying to change the usual pay-per-DVD approach when renting movies,
and I am offering an 'unlimited' monthly, yearly or even semesterly
membership (though the pay-per-DVD approach is still possible). This
eliminates late fees which is particularly important for uni students who
don't live on campus or those who might want to rent over the weekend or
for more than one night.
It occurred to me that this type of high-activity/rental membership could
be perfect for students that are members of the film society at UNSW. Once
film society members signed up, I would be happy to follow their
suggestions as to the types and genres of film that I could stock.
Kind regards,
James Ogg

New Shoot "Agnostic Salt"
Out of sheer lazyness I've decided to copy/paste the email I just sent out.. what's the point in re-writing it I say!
I did fail to mention in the email, though, that if anyone wants a copy of the script they should email either Igor Shmaryan (primary producer) or myself on the following addresses:
big_ukrainian@hotmail.com
erensener@hotmail.com
Finally, the date for the fundraiser I mentioned is next Wednesday, 21st March. It's a bake-sale to be held at uni - most likely around upper campus - stay tuned for more details!
Ez!
Gday all,
We've recently undertaken an external project and guided it under the CiNEsoc banner. It's called "Agnostic Salt" and involves talented crew stemming from the Film production faculty at North Sydney TAFE. When I say involves I simply mean two of the key roles - director, D.O.P and 1st A.D - there are still many roles up for grabs. Essentially, this is a chance to get involved and be part of something right from the get-go.
What I want to bring to everyone's attention is the SHOOT DATES over the coming weeks, and the opportunity for new members to get a taste of on-set action for the first time this year. We also need members to lend a hand with fundraising. The details are as follows:
Dates: Monday 26th March; Monday 2nd April and Monday 16th April.
The shoot will use the sensational Panasonic P2 camera (shoots 720p) and thus requires a specific crew member who is proficient with Final Cut Pro, has their own laptop and can bring it on-set. The reason for this is because the P2 employs a real-time workflow where you need to digitise the footage from the CARD it shoots to (no tape) on-set. This person is affectionately known as "The Techy" and should possess sound file management skills.
Please don't forget to check the BLOG on a weekly basis for our updates. As you all should now know, we've secured the date for the Premiere of "The Dealer" for Wednesday Aprill 11, 5.45pm @ Chauvel Cinema.
Also, we've now received a few scripts for production as part of the STS competiton (refer to your events calander). Keep them coming for the chance to have your film made!
