This month our television show is dedicated to the governments of Canada and Spain for passing the same sex marriage bill into law.
You, who have lived on earth for me,
My armour and my blood-relations
From Alighieri to Schiaparelli,
I thank you: for how well you burned.
And do not I burn too, and well?
Is it indifference that blinds me
To you , for whom I’ve lived on earth,
To grass and stars, to butterflies and children.

The first film festival where the audience gets to help the film makers finish up their work. This is a new idea in film festivals and market research The audience finally gets to have a chance for all those “Well, if I was making this film…” to be heard and possible used in a helpful way; and the film makers get to hear the general publics opinion of their work, while there is still time to make changes. Big budget Hollywood films can domarket research, but besides opinions of friends and family, low to zero budget independent film makers rarely get this feedback.

In August, September and October, the Free Form Film Festival will tour the US, visiting up to 40 locations across the U.S. with a very unique and eclectic film, music and performance program.
Kicking off this tour, we will present a special collection of short films at both ATA in San Francisco, and the Echo Park Film Center in LA. This program will feature some of the best short works the
FFFF has collected in the last year.
What is FFFF?
————-
The Free Form Film Festival (FFFF) is a traveling festival of film and music created by loaf-i productions and Inner Mission Productions. The FFFF brings an eclectic collection of innovative films to cities and towns across the United States. The FFFF is a continuously touring event without beginnings or endings. In other words, we do it here and there, whenever and wherever possible.
Film festivals present amazing opportunities for filmmakers, but also for the communities that the festivals take place in. For filmmakers, festivals offer exposure and necessary attention. For a town or a city in which any given festival takes place, an opportunity for cultural and artistic inspiration takes place. Some communities seriously need artistic seeds to be planted; other communities are already rich with artistic expression but still need cultivation in order to continue growing. The FFFF seeks to benefit both types of communities as well as the filmmakers by visiting large cities and small towns alike.
