Just when you thought it was all over…

Yesterday Fabien Martorell (thank you again), writer/director/producter of the short film The Coin, let it be known that the film is due to be screened at the deadCENTER film festival (don’t blame me that’s the way they write it).

deadCENTER takes place in mid-June in Oklahoma City, Ohio, and will be in its 15th year in 2015.

Normally, next I’d be typing how I’ll have to follow-up at a later date with details on exactly when the screening is due to take place.  Not this time!  The schedule was published late last week so we already know.

Grouped with 7 other short films in a 2 hour event with the title ‘The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly Somewhere Inbetween Shorts’, The Coin will be screened twice during the festival.  The first is on Saturday the 13th, starting at 2:30pm.  This is then repeated at 11:30am the next day.  Both take place at the FerrellOil Theater at Harkins, home to all the short film events at the dCFF this year.

If you’re down Ohio way in June, why not check it out.

There is of course an official website with more detail and you can find it HERE.

The Philadelphia Independent Film Festival has published its schedule of screenings for the 5 day event.

“What do you mean ‘5 day event’?”  I here you say.  “The 17th to the 25th (inclusive) is 9 days.”  And you sir would be correct.  The schedule, however, says otherwise.

The PIFF calendar of screenings starts on the Friday (17th) with a series of opening night screenings.  Included is a world première of Moon Hoax Now, which seeks to debunk all those ridiculous conspiracy theories that the conspiracy theories the moon landings were faked.  Director Jet Wintzer will be there.  Sounds like a hoot.

After that the event takes the weekend off and returns on Monday (20th) with another set of screenings and another world premiere.  This time it is Sean Roberts’ drama Traffickers about a family of Philly drug dealers and their battle against a rival.  Short film The Grey by Anthony Berenator Jr. also gets a first outing.

Among Tuesday’s varied collection films are two shorts receiving world premières: dramas Nesting Grounds (dir Ian Scott McCullough) and local boy Christian Filippone’s first project Stray.

Then we get to Wednesday and this is where our interest lies.

The Levitt Theater at the University of the Arts on South Broad Street in Philadelphia, is hosting the four screening events on the 22nd.  The first kicks off at 5:20pm and contains 3 short films, two dramas and a documentary.  Screening two is a go at 6:20pm and opens with Fabien Martorell’s The Coin.  Watch three more shorts after that and 40 minutes later you could be watching Fabien’s new film Unbelief.  6 short drama films in 70 minutes.

There are more films listed as screening on the Thursday.  There is nothing for Friday or Saturday (25th) which means, at the time of writing, it’s a 5 day event.  Perhaps that will change prior to the first day.  We’ve got what we came for though.

So that’s the Wednesday after next (the 22nd of April) at 6:20pm at the Levitt Theater in Philly.  Got it?
