Blog de festival. De ce? De film
Acest blog reuneste cele citeva zeci de texte despre cele citeva festivaluri de film la care am fost de cind am dat cu nasul de blogosfera – si va primi, de aici incolo, tot ce voi scrie despre festivalurile de film la care voi avea norocul sa particip. Cele alte citeva zeci de festivaluri de film la care am fost in trecut, cind internetul nu exista sau nu exista ca optiune pentru mine (Costinesti ‘93, ‘94, ‘95 – parca a fost ultimul; DaKino – pina in 2005, CinemaIubit, Zilele Filmului Francez, Zilele Filmului Britanic…) vor ramine doar ca amintire. Probabil cele mai puternice, pentru mine, au fost Costinesti 1994, cind i-am cunoscut pe Radu Gabrea si pe Felicia Mihali si cind Valeria Seciu a refuzat sa ma lase sa-i fac o fotografie; cind am vazut niste filme extraordinare, pentru anii aceia – si editiile din jurul anului 2000 ale festivalului DaKino: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001.
Textele antedatate sint colectate de pe http://gadjodillo.wordpress.com – blogul meu oficial, so to say. Nu am importat si commenturile, este mai dificil si ar fi, oricum, unfair.
Va astept sa comentati aici, de acum inainte – festivalurile de film din Romania, tot mai dese si mai bine organizate, au nevoie de spectatori pasionati.
