Since my post on Monday information on the schedule of screenings at the the Hyart Film Festival have been released.

There isn’t a great deal of detail but there is probably everything you need to know at such an event.

The opening night is next Thursday (18th May) and it looks like it is ‘sci-fi night’, possibly ‘spoof sci-fi night’.  RZ-9 might be a serious feature length movie.  Israeli short film Schnitzel, tagline ‘A boy, a girl, a space-alien and fried chicken’, definitely isn’t.  Phoenix could go either way.  Doors open at 7pm.

Friday night is shorts night.  I said ‘shorts’ not ‘shots’ 😉  Starting at 7pm the evening is made up of nine short films from around the world.  Not surprisingly this is where The Coin features.

And on Saturday is another multi-film collection, this time eight, which includes a world premiere of a French short called Rêve de fer (aka Iron Dream).  Set in 1794, a writer believes he’s found something very important about the country’s ongoing revolution.  It’s in the synopsis on IMDb so I won’t be spoiling to say “he’s wrong.”  You guessed it: 7pm.

You would think it was spent (geddit?) by now but The Coin continues its attempt to break the world record for the greatest number of film festival appearances

As has become the usual for Fabien Martorell has let us know that his short film, starring Christopher Lloyd (Roger Rabbit) and Kathryn, will be screened at another festival.

This time it is the Hyart Film Festival in Lovell, Wyoming USA.  The event’s name comes from the theater used to host it.  The building has a very distinctive turquoise frontage and a large sign as seen in the festival’s logo (see pic on the left).

Wyomingites don’t have to wait very long because the film festival starts Thursday-week, the 18th of June, and runs for three days.

As of going to press the screening schedule has not been published.  I’ll let you know when we have more news.
