Kathryn Morris UK

A month ago I reported that The Coin had been selected to be shown at the Gold Coast International Film Festival in November.  This Gold Coast is the northern coast of Long Island in the US of A.

At the time of that post the schedule of screenings had not been published so we didn’t know exactly when the short film starring Kathryn, Christopher Lloyd (Stacked) and young Jack Ryan Shepherd could be seen by the attendees.

The timetable has now been published so we can now say… that we are still not able to be very specific on the where and when.

Two events known as ‘Great Shorts 1’ and ‘Great Shorts 2’ are happening on Wednesday, 5th Nov and on Saturday, 8th Nov respectively.  The list of which films are at each screening has not been released so far.  It is possible that the two events have exactly the same line-up, the second being a repeat of the first.  KM UK is investigating and will endeavour to report at a later date.

If you’re attending theh GCIFF and want to see The Coin you’ll need to be at either the Port Washington Public Library at noon on the Wednesday or at the Bow Tie Manhaset Cinemas at 1:30pm on the Saturday.  Your call, heads or tails?   Fingers crossed for The Coin being at the Library because the tickets are free and they’ll be refreshments provided afterwards.  Not surprisingly, however, the cinema tickets are not free ($14 for adults).

In the meantime see the lack of detail on GCIFF website here.

This weekend (11-12th Oct) The Coin gets two screenings on the west coast of the United States.  See here for more details on that.  Now we’ve found out that the short film will be heading about as far east as it can whilst staying within the US, sort of.

Puerto Rico, located in the Caribbean, is an “unincorporated territory” of the United States, one of a dozen or so islands in the Pacific and the Caribbean that are designated that way.  These territories are controlled by the US government but are independent from certain constitutional elements.

In November the Enfoque International Film Festival will be taking place at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (Arts Museum) in the San Juan region situated in the north east corner of the island.  The Enfoque (Spanish for “approach”) festival was first held 5 years ago.

The exact schedule has not been released yet but The Coin is one of 45 films to be shown in the 3 day event running across Thursday the 13th to Saturday the 15th of November.  The festival’s website is here.

Thanks to Fabien Martorell for letting us know about this.
