2008 New Hampshire Film Festival announces winners

[Received this press release from the New Hampshire Film Festival.]

More than 6,000 attend weekend movie festival in Portsmouth.

PORTSMOUTH, NH – The eighth annual New Hampshire Film Festival drew an estimated 6,000 attendants to downtown Portsmouth, making the four-day fest the most successful in the event’s history.

“In this economy, we’re definitely encouraged at the attendance,” said NHFF Executive Director, Nicole Gregg. “We had far more people purchasing weekend passes and enjoying the entire event from Thursday to Sunday.”

With a lineup of films coming from Sundance, Berliner and the Cannes film festivals, the NHFF program is now comparable to major film festivals, according to Gregg. The NHFF ran Oct. 16 - 19.

This year's NHFF winners included Best Short Comedy Award: "Cutlass," director Kate Hudson; Best Short Drama: "Centigrade," directors Colin Cunningham, Madison Graie; Best Animation Award: "The Magistical," directors John Cernak, Danny Oakley, writer John Cernak; Best Student Award: "The Abattoir," director/writer, T.J. Volgare; Best Documentary Award: "I.O.U.S.A.," director Patrick Creadon; Grand Jury Award: "The Life Before Her Eyes," director Vadim Perelman, writer Emil Stern; Best Feature Award, "The Unknown Woman," director/writer Giuseppe Tornatore; Best Screenplay Award: "The Stunning Box," by David Bertoni, Yarmouth, Maine; and Audience Choice Award: "Between the Folds," feature-length documentary, by Vanessa Gould.

Winners of New Hampshire awards included New Hampshire Documentary Film Award: "Communities and Consequences," director/writer Jay Childs; and the New Hampshire Film of the Year Award: "Sick Sex," by Justin Nowell, director and co-writer with Thomas Nowell. The Van McLeod Award went to Chase Bailey of Left Bank Films in Portsmouth. The NHFF 2008 marked the debut of the new Van McLeod Award, which honors someone who makes a significant contribution to the film or television industry and is named in honor of the commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Cultural Resources.

Event highlights included visits by Austin Chick, director of "August;" Patrick Creadon, director of "I.O.U.S.A." (also "Word Play," and producer of "Super Size Me"); and event artists-in-residence Emmy-winning filmmakers Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar. Artist Michael Fosse, featured in "Between the Folds," followed that screening by creating a giant origami sculpture on the spot.

The "I.O.U.S.A." panel discussion with Creadon, Writer Addison Wiggin and Sen. Judd Gregg, a subject in the film, was the highlight of the festival, according to Gregg.

NHFF receives major sponsorship from Irving Oil and Override.

Great Northern Video now renting equipment

[Received this notice from Great Northern Video in Pembroke, NH.]

Due to customer requests over the years Great Northern Video has finally decided to open up a rental division. Our clients clearly see the short-term benefits of renting and we have taken the progressive step to adapt to the changes in the market to benefit our customers. Before offing rentals customers would have to travel to Massachusetts to rent equipment and be subjected to traffic, high rental costs, time spent, taxes, and high gas costs.

Renting equipment allows you to test in real world applications to find out which equipment better serves your need. You can have significant cost savings and less complexity versus in-house management of own equipment. All our equipment is new and meticulously maintained and serviced. With major changes in technology and the current state of the economy, renting might be a better choice for you and your short-term needs.

Great Northern Video rents cameras, Steadicam’s, projectors, wireless mics, edit systems, green screens, batteries and power supplies, lighting kits, tripods, monitors, jibs, the RED One camera system, etc. All our equipment is backed up with experts, with hands on real world application experience. Want to rent equipment but need some training? Great Northern Video offers training on lighting, cameras, support, editing, and sound at the lowest rates in the country.

Our rental program is fairly unique in that we offer 1 day, 3 day and 7-day rentals. The 3-day rental is the cost of 2 days and the 7-day rental is the cost of 3 days, so there is a significant cost savings over traditional rental houses. The rental department at Great Northern Video is currently accepting equipment reservations. It has already caught on and we have several projects coming to town that we are providing equipment for. We are officially open for rentals and we look forward to your business.

Van McLeod, Commissioner of the Division of Cultural Resources, is a driving force and inspiration to the film community in the State of New Hampshire. He was instrumental in launching the New Hampshire Film & Television Office as it exists today and is a tireless supporter of filmmakers and their cause.

Van:

Ay sis... felices 20 ♪! Ay vani vos sabes que sos como una hermana para mí, aunque no te guste que te recuerde cuantos años pasaron... lo lamento, pero voy a hacerlo. Nos conocemos desde que yo tenía 11 o sea hace ya 5 años y cuando vos tenías 14 para 15... Ay amiga cuantos momentos en el cole, charlas, fotos... Fuiste como de cierta forma un referente para mi.
Siempre desde que nos conocimos nos consideramos como hermanas y no me arrepiento de eso, tenemos gustos bastantes parecidos y obvio que en otros aspecto probablemente no; pero más allá de eso, aprendí a conocerte y aprendí a aprender (risas)... Estoy feliz de haberlo hecho ya que sino no hubiera pasado, me perdería una gran persona, que es lo que sos.
No me salen las palabras para decir lo feliz que me pone haberte conocido (bue... re cursi era, risas). Re lindos momentos pasamos juntas amiga desde pasar recreos con clau y vicky hasta ir de compras y ver un recital de Emma en el Gran Rex con Celeste Cid y André con Romina Ricci
(la desilusión que me llevé); atrás nuestro. En fin en cada uno de aquellos, lo pasé barbaro. Y como fuiste tan buena sis y sos tan buena persona, te deseo un FEIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, mucha Mierd!, ÉXITO en todo y dulce sueños... (risas)

Pasalo barbaro hoy, lamento no haber ido a tu cumple el viernes grrr ya falta poco 1 año y 3 meses, tengamos pasiencia...

Brindo por los GOOD TIMES! Je t`aime...

Cool Hunter

Cool Hunter

En estos ultimos años se ha puesto de moda fotografíar a personas con un muy buen look.
Podremos encontrar personas como Cobra Snake que ha encontrado a Cory Kennedy, entre otros.
En muchos países tienen estos fotografos cazadores de tendencia.

Buenos Aires no se queda atrás, una de las páginas mas conocidas de Moda en la Calle son los chicos de On The Corner que tienen fotografías de personas con variedad de estilos (unicos y/ o personales) y edades.

Más info:

Cool Hunter viene del Coolhunting es un termino reciente en el mundo del Marketing y la Publicidad, dirigido por Coolhunters (Cazadores de Tendencia). El trabajo se refiere a hacer predicciones sobre cambios o surgimientos referente a la cultura del consumismo y la moda. Esta información ha tenido un gran impacto en este ultimo tiempo para ayudar a empresas a estar preparados para aprovechar tendencias sociales.

Actividad

La actividad de un coolhunter es, básicamente, la recolección de información. Principalmente en la via publica e internet. La misma se desarrolla con una mirada muy neutral sobre la sociedad o sobre el lugar de trabajo. De nada sirve un coolhunter si no es capaz de aceptar, comprender y analizar diferentes tipos de estereotipos. Es vital también estar actualizado en todos los ambitos y obtener información. Para ellos el uso de los medios, en especial internet, es vital para la actividad. Generalmente se
obtiene la imagen de un coolhunter como una persona gastada. Usualmente en la calle acompañado de
una cámara y una palm o libreta, la cual no se aleja mucho de la realidad. En la actividad de la confección de un trabajo a presentación es vital presentar todos los detalles y no generalizar demasiado, así como no generar mucha información de relleno.

Tipos

La misma en algunos
casos es desarrollada por coolhunter como profesionales. Ya sea para firmas de coolhunting, publicidad, marketing o grandes empresas. En otros casos suele ser un pasatiempo o trabajo pa
rcial, donde se citan a los mismo por determinados trabajos o se los premia por obtener u entregar informes de relevancia. Generalmente pagos con retribuciones en productos o regalos.  

By Wikipedia



Bueno ahora que ya sabemos bien de que se trata, les dejamos unas fotografías de Street Style:


- On The Corner - Bs.As






- Garance Doré - Francia




- The Sartorialist





Aclaración: Los chicos de On The Corner nos informaron un poco más sobre el tema y nos comentaron que ellos no son cazadores de tendencia sino que fotografían a las personas que ven en la calle vestidos de manera unica y/o personal; sin embargo no es solamente por algo estetico, sino también para comunicar.

Aquí está el mensaje original:

"Hola Mery Elle:

nos alegramos que nos cites como el principal referente del STREET STYLE porteño... pero por favor no confundas nuestra actividad con lo del cool-hunting.lo nuestro consiste en retratar a diversos personajes que encontramos en la ciudad, con la característica de que vistan un estilo único o personal... personas que usan su indumentaria no sólo para vestir, sino para comunicar...
lo del cool-hunting es otra cosa (y no es nada nuevo), más relacionada como bien indicas a predecir tendencias.. lo nuestro es simplemente mostrar a estos individuos y su ESTILO, y si a alguien más le sirve de inspiración genial!

saludos."

The second panel, “New Hampshire’s Incentives: Thinking Beyond the Rebate,” will be held from 1:30-3:30 p.m. and will examine the tax credits and other filming incentives that have created such a buzz around the nation and how the Granite State is looking “outside the box” to offer filmmakers “The New Hampshire Advantage.” At the table will be State Representative Leigh Webb, Economic Development Director Michael Vlacich, Executive Producer of The Sensation of Sight Buzz McLaughlin and producer Mark Constance from a713 production.

Both panels will feature Matthew Newton, director of the Film and Television Office and will be moderated by Van McLeod, commissioner of the Department of Cultural Resources.

VOS Y YO

Lo que senti por vos no lo senti por nadie, creo que eso es lo que te hace unico en mi.
Podrás tener tus mil defectos y excasas virtudes, y eso supongo que también es lo que te hace especial.
Dios, esta vez siento que no vamos a volver al menos no dentro de poco tiempo. Ay T!.. fuiste, sos y serás tan importante en mi! Te amé, amo y amaré no se por cuanto, pero si no estamos destinados a estar juntos, RUEGO DEJAR DE SENTIRLO! Porque cada día que pasa es mas pesada la mochila, cada día que pasa es mas fuerte este sentimiento, cada día, cada recuerdo, cada sensación, cada frase que lea de vos me hace enamorarme más, más y más.
No se que hechizo es el que me hiciste, pero te salió PERFECTO. Estoy encantada, sueño, despierto y vivo pensando en vos.
Ay T, cuantas veces nos habremos dicho cosas tan lindas como...
"nunca nos vamos a separar" y cosas así... y ambos lo terminamos rompiendo...

El otro día me contaste que te dijeron algo malo sobre mi, y
que no sabes quien realmente soy. Yo creía que al estar 1 año conmigo y conocerme hace mucho, ya sabrías quien soy y me dijiste que lo sabías,
pero que ahora ya no sabes que pensar... No se que es lo que te hayan dicho pero yo estoy muy segura de lo que digo y siento y no tengo doble careta, fui la mejor novia que tuviste, hasta vos lo dijiste. Soy una mina buenisima que con vos fue mas que buena, sino buenuda.. Jamás te traicioné y siempre te tuve presente, y creo que si volveríamos a salir, sería así de vuelta porque fui unica y lo sigo siendo. Sos tan importante querido que jamás te podría traicionar.
A ver... si entendes que te amo con locura! No sé si más, o menos como el primer día, pero si sé que este sentimiento no desaparece! Perdura
hace 1 año y casi 5 meses.
Repito, no sé que es lo que hiciste para tenerme así pero te salió impecable.

Tengo un nudo en la garganta cada vez que jugamos y no cruzamos palabras. Mil veces quise hablarte pero no lo hice no sabía que decir ni mucho menos que hacer.
Ay si fuese por mi haría tantas cosas por tí, pero soy una cagona... no quiero recibir un NO de tus labios, si no tus dulces besos, eso si quiero recibir, además de tus abrazos, tus caricias y tus bellas palabras
en mi oido eso si quiero oír. Cada noche las recuerdo y una lagrima más cae al vacío.
Te amo T y te extraño como por nadie lo he sentido...

PFW IV

Paris Fashion Week


Ayer Domingo 5 de Octubre finalizó la semana de la moda en Paris y obviamente te mostramos las ultimos días de esta Fashion Week en Paris.
Viernes 3 de Octubre: Requiem, Chanel, Valentino, Rue du Mail y Alexander McQueen.
Sábado 4 : Elie Saab, Wunderkind, Collette Dinnigan, Chloé, Martin Grant, Hermès, Limi Feu y John Galliano.
Ayer, Domingo 5: Louis Vuitton, Lanvin y Miu Miu.




Louis Vuitton



A diferencia de las ultimas colecciones arquitectónicas estilo años ochenta en Marc Jacobs, la nueva temporada de Louis Vuitton sugiere looks sin sentenciar una estética concreta.




Crónica:

Cuando se avecinan momentos de incertidumbre, qué mejor que proponer una colección con múltiples motivos y así llegar a todo tipo de mujeres. A diferencia de las últimas colecciones arquitectónicas estilo años ochenta de Marc Jacobs, la nueva temporada de Louis Vuitton sugiere looks sin sentenciar una estética concreta, eso sí, abogando por una mujer sexy y extrovertida.

Cuando style.com, pidió a Jacobs que definiese sus nuevos looks contestó: "Se trata de recrear el aspecto de una pequeña princesa, parisina y urbana". Chaquetas de hombros pronunciados y afilados, sweaters metálicos, pantalones con pata de elefante y minifaldas -tanto abullonadas como tableadas- se incorporan a una propuesta que, a pesar de tener poco que ver con el estilo de la Ciudad de la Luz, funciona.

Sin duda, otro de los elementos fundamentales de Louis Vuitton son los complementos. Maxibrazaletes tribales, bolsos en patchwork con motivos de leopardo y sandalias a tiras de pitón al más puro estilo Marni se suceden en una clara alusión al corazón de África. En definitiva, una colección densa en materia de accesorios que se aleja del minimalismo estructural que marcó las pautas de la colección otoño-invierno 2008/09.
Por Pedro Zozaya


Detalles:
Bolsos de mano en tonos brillantes y acompañados de tejidos felinos, además de su habitual cuero fruncido, destacan en el desfile de Louis Vuitton.





















Miu Miu



Miu Miu opta por unos zapatos peep toe de cuña satinados y con pulserilla.




Elegante minivestidos y faldas a la cintura con mini tablas en tonos tostados especilamente en el desfile de Miu Miu.





John Galliano









El rojo, el verde, el fucsia y otros colores igual de veraniegos dan luz a los vestidos sirena por los que apuesta Galliano la próxima temporada.










Crónica:




Muchos se quedan con la teatralidad de John Galliano: sus increíbles sombreros Napoleón, pelucas de época, maquillaje de estilo circus y enormes tocados con plumas de avestruz. Sin embargo, lo curioso es que si por un casual quisiésemos eliminar todos estos elementos y quedarnos únicamente con las prendas, su colección todavía mantendría intacto todo su interés.

Los románticos y vaporosos vestidos florales de gasa y transparencias, mini cárdigans, parkas de verano y abrigos de cuero fino color manzana con mangas de trompeta contienen optimismo, dramatismo y un gusto tan propio por la moda que incluso supera en maestría a lo propuesto por el diseñador gibraltareño para la maison Dior. Todo ello se sostiene como un sofisticado y exquisito estudio de la historia británica en versión dibujos animados, con puntuales alusiones de estilo a James Gillray y la Reina Madre.

Destacamos sus originales sandalias a tiras con múltiples pulserillas y una plataforma art-decó de aspecto caprichoso y futurista al mismo tiempo.
Por Pedro Zozaya


Detalles:
Mini cardigans, parkas de verano y abrigos de cuero fino color manzana con mangas de trompeta contienen optimismo, dramatismo al mismo tiempo.
















Chanel



Como es costumbre en los desfiles de Chanel los trajes de chaqueta en tweed siguen siendo los máximos protagonistas, para proxima temporada el contraste entre tonos oscuros y claros los acompaña.







Detalles:
La temporada pasada el diseñador apostó por pantys bicolor, esta temporada aparecen reinventados, con un corte en la rodilla se asemejan a leggins.
































Valentino



Vestidos joya y faldas a media rodilla de corte asimétrico en la nueva propuesta de Valentino.




Detalles:

Sandalias peep toe de tacón medio con pulserita en el desfile de Valentino en París.
























Alexander McQueen



Pantalones, Faldas y mangas muy abombadas dan vida a un desfile con el estilismo de Alexander.





Crónica:

El vídeo naturista de Alexander McQueen y el fondo del desfile compuesto por un nutrido mundo animal -elefantes, jirafas, osos polares, leones y una serie de especies en vías de extinción- marcaron la pauta de una propuesta que pretende rendir tributo a los orígenes del planeta.

El dramatismo poético de McQueen se torna realista en una serie de románticos vestidos armados que se ajustan a la figura femenina y exhiben un sinfín de estampados florales. El contenido couture del diseñador británico permanece vigente y presente en la propuesta pero, ante todo, McQueen quiere vender en el verano que viene. Por tanto, su colección se presenta más viable que nunca para el gusto de la calle.

Minivestidos coraza con brocados en forma de pájaros, diseños en cascada de flecos y tops semitransparentes se alternan con siluetas futuristas como monos slim embellecidos a través de aplicaciones de Swarovski y pedrería.
Por Pedro Zozaya
Detalles:

Grandes piedras preciosas y cristal de strass cubren vestidos y complementos de la nueva colección del diseñador.
