Decided to take it easy during the day. Glad I did because I didn't get back from the short film screening until 2.30am tonight.
Went to the "I Am Stamos" party and caught up with Alex Eastburg (Writer/Producer), Rob Meltzer (Writer/Director) and Karl Preusser (Composer) all of whom I met at the Film opening party last night. Also met Robert Peters, John Stamos and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos.
The party included performance art that I could only describe as chinese acrobatics meets lesbian French maids (that'll bring some interesting Google searches to this site!)
After the party, went back to the hotel and did some more GEF programming before heading off again for the midnight screening.
There were nine films in total ranging in length from four minutes to seventeen. The overall theme was clearly the absurd. Most of the films got at least a laugh out of me - some were absolutely hilarious. My two favourites were I Am Stamos and Walkentalk (the latter an absolute must-see for fans of Christopher Walken). Interestingly, they were the two shot on film. Also worth seeing (although not quite as good as "I Am Stamos" and "Walkentalk") is The Frank International Film Festival, a mock video diary of a visit to the most exclusive Film Festival in the world.
