I learned from the Feedbag Films guys that Film Slam is about to be resurrected from the throes of DMAC-closing obscurity and confusion with an upcoming debut at Central Florida’s own Enzian. Here is their page with all the relevant info.
The submission rules are a tiny bit misleading — there is a big heading for Entry Fee which goes on to say that there is no entry fee, and that all attendees (including filmmakers I assume) must pay $5 at the door to cover the expense to the Enzian. Am I wrong or is this a new rule… feel free to chime in with your memories, guys.
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO THURSDAY, JANUARY 11!
Originally a project of University of Central Florida’s Downtown Media Arts Center, the FilmSlam seemed fated to end when DMAC closed earlier this year. The local filmmaking community and FilmSlam organizers came to Enzian with a request to continue the monthly screenings of local filmmakers’ projects. As a result, Enzian will continue the program to focus on the growing number of indie and student filmmakers in the State of Florida.
FilmSlam will be held on the second Sunday of each month at 1:00 PM at Enzian Theater. Below are the dates for 2007:
| January 14 | May 13 | September 9 |
| February 11 | June 10 | October 14 |
| March 11 | July 18 | November 11 |
| April 8 | August 12 | GrandSlam at Brouhaha: December 8 & 9 |
