BERKELEY VIDEO & FILM FESTIVAL 2009 An Independent Cinematic Marathon
BV+FF’s two day event this year, features outstanding and challenging independent new cinema from Italy, Cuba, Germany, Venezuela, Great Britain, and the USA, as well as, 15 local San Francisco Bay Area Filmmakers being represented.
Since our previous BV+FF, we have witnessed a regime change in Washington, and a global economic collapse, however, the spirit of indie cinema prevails, as witnessed by this years remarkable filmmakers and their substantive creative endeavors.
Our screening selections in 2009, reflect the very best works of over one hundred and fifty submissions. Sit back, relax, and let these filmmakers inform, shock and entertain you. - Mel Vapour, Director BV+FF
“Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.” - Jean-Luc Godard
THE 18th 2009 BERKELEY VIDEO + FILM FESTIVAL
Founded by award winning independent filmmakers who were involved with
the "independent underground cinema revolution" in the early and mid-1960's, THE BERKELEY VIDEO + FILM FESTIVAL was created in 1990 to provide a venue for independent film and videomakers
creating works that challenge and confront our notions of "Electronic
Cinema."
BV&FF
programs and screens original works, all which have been juried by a screening
committee of professional media makers at mainstream film theaters in
Berkeley, California, home of the free speech movement. The festival issues
awards in each category and promotes the individual filmmakers by insuring
that their works receive media attention, press reviews and screen presence.
The rapid growth of THE BERKELEY VIDEO +
FILM FESTIVAL in the past decade reflects the increased
interest in independent electronic cinematography, locally and globally.
BV+FF continues to provide
a context for everyone interested in independent media making today.
