“There was a lot of clapping and cheering.” “As always, the audience was really great and emphatic,” he told indieWIRE. He was very pleased with the response in New York. These new commissioned films projects involved young filmmakers, much lower budgets, and the results are much more innovative.” Stefan Nadelman, who showed his award-winning short “Terminal Bar” at RESFEST 2002, came this year with his new project “One Step Ahead,” which is part of the Nike Art of Speed series. Unlike the BMW Films project which commissioned big budget short films from Hollywood directors, these new films are much more risky. Martens among many others all have new short film projects and they’ve chosen to launch them at RESFEST. “One trend that we’ve spotted is the explosive growth of commissioned short films,” Wells says. The festival may have lauded underground work, but it also showed plenty of commercially viable projects, and even held a commissioned films panel to discuss how digital artists are working with major corporations. But the audience was great - and RESFEST generally attracted a lot of people.” Also, one beauty of the festival is that his film will also get 32 more screenings, and Wishnow hopes to also attend the stops in San Francisco and Los Angeles. “It was the week after Labor Day, it was the week after the Republican National Convention, and it was the start of Fashion Week, so I think that bit into the crowd size a bit. Jason Wishnow, who offered the New York premiere of his short “Oedipus,” was happy with the audience response, and even the size despite some challenges. This year was particularly strong across the board for innovative filmmaking.” “In some cases that work is made with digital video tools, in other cases it is made on motion picture film, still cameras, crayons or - in the case of one music video this year - a flatbed scanner. “We’ve always shown work that has inspired us - made us laugh, cry, or just go, ‘Wow!,’ says festival director Jonathan Wells.

Then, having reached the heights, this all-but-divine race perished in a single night, and nothing was preserved above ground.Īlta, about a million years from now the human race will have crawled up to where the Krell stood in their great moment of triumph and tragedy. Ethically and technologically they were a million years ahead of humankind, for in unlocking the mysteries of nature they had conquered even their baser selves, and when in the course of eons they had abolished sickness and insanity, crime and all injustice, they turned, still in high benevolence, upwards towards space.
In times long past, this planet was the home of a mighty, noble race of beings who called themselves the Krell. United Planets Cruiser C57D, now more than a year out from Earth Base on a special mission to the planetary system of the great main-sequence star Altair. And so, at last, mankind began the conquest and colonization of deep space. Almost at once there followed the discovery of hyperdrive through which the speed of light was first obtained and later greatly surpassed. By 2200 A.D., they had reached the other planets of our solar system. In the final decade of the 21st Century, men and women in rocket ships landed on the moon.
