Be Film The Underground Film Festival
April 17th 2010 05:57
Be Film The Underground Film Festival announced it will open April 27 2010 at the new auditorium of NYIT on 62nd St and Broadway.
Be Film The Underground Film Festival was founded in March of 2004 by Laurence Asseraf, in the art gallery (A Taste of Art) she used to own on Duane Street in Tribeca, New York City.
Now in its seventh year, BEFILM THE UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL focuses only on short films with over 500 submissions from around the world. The competition selection includes live action narrative, documentary, experimental animation, 3D stereoscopic and specs. Established and first time filmmakers screen side by side in an environment designed to support creativity.
Be Film runs during 5 consecutive days each year starting usually at the end of April. This year the dates will be: April 27 – May 1, 2010. The competition selection is distinguished by genre: Live action narrative, animation, documentary, experimental, musical videos, specs, and since 2009 Stereoscopic 3D. The festival provides a cultural and entertaining forum while recognizing and honoring independent emerging filmmakers through a panel of judges from the entertainment industry who reviews the films and gives the awards.
Focusing on the belief that “Shorter is Better” BEFILM THE UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL has become one of the most followed short film festivals on the East coast. Be Film prides itself for always promoting as well as discovering talented filmmakers. Films premiering at Be Film are consistently nominated for Oscars in both the live action, and animation categories, and go on to festivals such as Cannes, Venice, Berlin etc. Constantly innovating and pushing the boundaries, in 2009 the festival has introduced a 3D stereoscopic category. BEFILM is the first established film festival in the US to recognize and include the 3D stereoscopic medium with its own category.
