 It may be called the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest‘ but their schedule for the festival is anything but.
The ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest’ is a single venue event running over 3 days with the most detailed plan of events I’ve seen of any of the dozens I’ve looked at the past few years.
The Coin, the short film by Fabien Martorell and starring Christopher Lloyd (Taxi) and Kathryn, will be screened during the festival in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday the 11th of April. The venue is the Alex Theater, The Metropolitan At The 9 complex.
What normally happens at these short film festivals is for the individual movies to be grouped together, often around a common theme, to make a longer single screening. The exact timing of a particular item, or even the order, is thus rendered an unnecessary detail.
Not for the short ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest.’ it isn’t.
Earlier this month the organisers released the official poster (see above right) and the schedule for the long weekend’s activities. It’s done to the minute for the every showing.
So, The Coin slots (see what I did there? never mind) in at 4:30pm, just after a ‘presentation’ by a local brewery.
Tickets and more details are available via the official website HERE.
 The promised ‘two weeks from this coming Friday’ is nearly here.
The Mankato, Minnesota, based Speechless Film Festival, starts this in a few days.
The short film The Coin. which sees Kathryn star alongside Back To The Future actor Christopher Lloyd as the stressed mother of a young boy, will be screened at the Cine Grand venue on Friday at 7pm.
Buy the VIP Festival Pass and you could attend a special second presentation of the film on Saturday lunchtime, 1pm.
As part of the “Young Drama” selection, Fabien Martorell’s short will be sharing the bill with four other projects, mostly from the USA as well.
The SFF official website HERE has all the details.
Two weeks from this coming Friday sees the start of the Speechless Film Festival, held in Mankato, Minnesota.
The screening schedule for the event has been released so we get to see when we can get to see Fabien Martorell’s short film The Coin.
7pm on the 20th at the Cine Grand is the first opportunity. For those with VIP Festival Passes, which entitle you see everything as well as getting access to some VIP lounges, there is a 2nd screening at Studio Six on the Saturday afternoon at 1pm.
The Coin will be one of a five films grouped under the banner “Young Drama”. The others in the set are also American, apart from one British interloper. Elsewhere the festival has a more international feel with films from Canada, Turkey, Israel, the Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Iran, Poland, and Romania and Bulgaria.
As well as the more basic genre descriptions (documentary, thriller, animation etc.) the various categories of film include titles such as “The Gauntlet“, “Solitare”, “Tales Of Passion” and “Visual Music”.
Tickets and information about the festival can be found on the official website HERE.
 That’s not what I said! Read it again 
Bit out of nowhere this one.
Fabien Martorell’s short film The Coin yesterday started a series of nightly screenings at an event running alongside the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2015, currently being held in the Swedish city of Falun.
Falun is about 115 miles (180km) north west of Sweden’s capital Stockholm.
When you have a big thing like a world championship taking part in a region you need to entertain the many visitors during the time they are not watching the sport. Cultural festivals, concerts etc. are often put on do just that.
The Bryggcaféet café in Falun has teamed up with the Peace & Love Film Festival to host the screening of a short film festival each evening from 6pm. With The Coin there are six other films from around the world, including Smog Journeys from China and Matthew Modine’s Jesus Was Commie. The screenings continue until the end of the championships on the 1st of March.
Thanks to Fabien for dropping this bombshell early on a Saturday morning
Information about the short films on the official website P&LFF website HERE.
No, The Coin, the short film by Fabien Martorell, has not been turned into a silent movie. Though, having said that, it could work as one.
I was aware this news was coming but Fabien let the cat out of the bag a little earlier than expected. It’s festival week on KM UK!
In this case ‘speechless’ refers to the Speechless Film Festival, which is held in the city of Mankato, Minnesota. Mankato is around 70 miles (115km) south of Minneapolis. One of its claims-to-fame is featuring in the TV series Little House On The Prairie as a nearby trading town.
The remark above about The Coin possibly working as a silent film is not a throw-away one. The focus of the Speechless Film Festival is communication via the visual medium of film, regardless of the language used in any dialogue. Fabien’s strong imagery should serve his short film well.
This, the 3rd annual SFF, is scheduled to take place over two days in the latter half of March. More details as we get them.
Information about the festival can be found on the official website HERE.
