‘Is it possible to make independent, experimental films without a budget, having just a video camera, a tripod and a microphone? What will come of it?

Is it possible to organize an independent film festival? Is it enough to have like-minded friends to make a “quality” film? Do we need “quality” films?

We are going to discuss these questions and more and are going to watch several films shot specifically for the festival.’

The festival will take place Saturday, November 19, at Art Group 705, Bokonbaeva 705 149 (crosses Isanova), 18:00

Free admission.
