James: Tropfest 2009


Most of you know that I think Tropfest has about as much class as drinking wine from a can, but just to let anyone interested know that there is an information event about entering the 2009 event down at FTI this Friday night.

What's up with Tropfest?
It seems to toally polarise people, with the casual peoples gorging on it year after year, and those in the "flickering images" know shunning it.
Or at least that's the impression I get.
I'm kind of fence sitting, it's nice and safe there.

I think its because it's an enjoyable night out, that's free. Free wins everything. I think the problem with it is that 80% of the films selected are either a stupid gag film or vomit enducingly contrived.

Fox example, check out the winner of Tropfest new york and try and tell me the intentions of the film were sincere:

I met the guy who made this film:

It got into Tropfest in 2007. He seems to be pretty much obsessed with Tropfest, and Woody Allen. He has a lot to say about film if you ever see a lecture by him.
