Regarding Tilda Swinton's film festival: how many local or community based film festivals are there that don't get this publicity because they're not fortunate enough to have a name attached to them? For example, one of my friends is curating a season of trash / fringe films to play at the Cameo during the festivals in august. He could send out a press release to the BBC and newspapers, but it's unlikely to get publicity outside Edinburgh.
Also reading some of the specifics of her festival, like having audiences sit on beanbags, I'm sceptical if they've really thought / worked through the health and safety issues in the way that a 'proper' cinema has to.
Oh, it's absolutely to do with her name. It still sounds like fun though. | |
