The Filmcake

I’m hoping this blog helps me to stay out of the usual ruts. I want to explore all different kinds of cinema. I don’t want to watch the same types of things over and over. I don’t want every movie I watch to come out of my Netflix queue, or every movie to be out of the same genre, or every movie to be one that was well-reviewed by A.O. Scott. I also want to get out more–to experience movies outside of my living room every once in a while.

To that end, here’s one possibility for this weekend:

This is the 11th year that IAO has invited filmmakers to screen their short films of 15 minutes or less. As the Film and Video Committees largest and longest running event, it always includes a diverse range of stories, techniques and styles.

At this year’s event, winners of the 24 Hour Video Race (sponsored earlier this year by IAO, Living Arts of Tulsa, and the Philbrook Museum) will be screened.  At the conclusion of the screening, both an Audience Choice Award and Committee Choice Award will be presented. Also, the Linda Jaeger Honorarium awarded to a graduating high school senior planning to study film and video in college is announced that evening.

The fun begins at 7pm.
