In September 2011, Thirsty Girl Films completed a unique short period thriller circa 1940 called Feast of the Foolish about a young outlaw lost in the desert who seeks answers about his future from a dark enchantress, but it’s his past he should be worried about. “Feast of the Foolish” won Best Short Thriller at the 2012 FirstGlance Film Fest, Hollywood, and is an official selection of the 2012 Female Eye Film Festival and 2012 Go North Festival. This short film was successfully financed through the crowd-funding platform,Indiegogo.com, and it was shot on the RED One camera in Joshua Tree, CA. “Feast of the Foolish” is currently festivaling, so look out for screenings in your area!

Thirsty Girl Films recently completed their second successful crowd-funding campaign to help finish their documentary, ‘Gwapa (Beautiful),’ which won IndieWIRE’s “Project of the Month” contest in December 2011, winning a consultation with The Sundance Institute and SnagFilms. ‘Gwapa (Beautiful)’ is the first feature length documentary dedicated to bringing awareness to the high number of children born with cleft deformities in the Philippines and the great need for free reconstructive surgeries in poor countries. This stunning and remarkable film will draw you into a powerful tale of love, determination, and hope. To learn more about this project and how you help save lives, please visit the film’s

VENIMOS LOS JODIMOS Y NOS FUIMOS

3Aug11

The modern concept of film club, is about an independent organization concerned occupied the screening, analysis and discussion of audiovisual products. Film societies have an educational purpose, confronting new audiences to different audiovisual works, by a methodological program organized to bring together knowledgeable and not knowledgeable about the cinema in an alternate space to conventional theaters to put the disposition of these, classic films or tapes of interest that have found their proper distribution in theaters, all with the aim that at the end of the projection, to conduct a talk or discussion about the project among the attendees. From Thursday August 5, in the FORO SOBRE CINE EN GENERAL will begin a project which main objective is not only analyze, criticize or talk about a movie based on the knowledge of others who run into only a few or many users who have had a chance to see it, as usually done in other forums MUBI, but broadcast this to all participants in the discussion have the opportunity to appreciate, whether first time or reunite with the tape question to carry out an analysis and discussions with the appropriate bases. The mechanics of the game is as follows: starting from this coming Thursday, will rise in the FORO SOBRE CINE EN GENERAL a video from Youtube containing a film in their entirety, this to all forum participants have the opportunity to see the video, preferably in a period no longer than 5 days to give you a faster and more broad continuity with the matter. At the end of that period (or a shorter period, to be the case) and once all participants are in agreement that has been discussed enough about the film in question, by prior arrangement with the other participants Any of these may be shared with others from either another video from YouTube, Vimeo, or any other similar website that allows it, or if the link of a movie ON LINE, for easy viewing, containing a feature film or short, in his opinion, a work of interest that deserves to be discussed and restart the process, and so on. Together with its proposal, the participant must include an introduction about the video itself, which should include, either in whole or in parts, the integrated version of the film (no trailers, no reviews, etc..) The quote is from this Thursday: http://mubi.com/topics/foro-sobre-cine-en-general
