The Super 8 Militia is an organization for those urban guerrilla filmmakers of the Bay Area looking to shoot on the small film gauge. The process of making a movie is a team effort. The members of the militia want to help you achieve your artistic goals. Working on celluloid within a modest budget is always a challenge. We strive to help you meet this challenge of finding the right arsenal for your cinematic needs. Headquartered at ATA, meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30pm. Please contact ata@atasite.org for any questions concerning the telecine process, or if you are interested in transferring your super 8 film.

The 2005 Bayennale is slated to take place in over 40 venues throughout the Bay Area July 22- August 7, 2005. The festival was instigated by California artist Lowell Darling and London artist Bill Allen, and has been organized by a volunteer committee comprised of Port of Oakland Public Art Committee (PAC) coordinator Geoff Dorn, PAC members Gregory Wiley Edwards, Jen Loy and Juan Carlos Quintana, BorderZone Arts’ Tressa Berman, and Oakland Cultural Affairs Commissioner Devin Satterfield, under the direction of Elisabeth Beaird.

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.
