ANOTHER WARD FOR BARNEY ELLIOTT'S "TRUE COLOUR"
Update:
True Colours picked up a "Special Mention of the Jury" at Corto in Bra festival, Italy .The film has played in several festivals already in 2008 and the next in the UK is the Hull International Film Festival (April 15 - 20) where it is not only in the competition but also has been selected by Simon Ellis to be part of his Carte Blanche Retrospective Master class. Quite the honor as he is the UK's leading young talent.
As well, True Colours will be playing at the Short Film Corner in Cannes this year. As a resident at Cinefondation is was invited and automatically entered into the competition...love the French :-)
Who will be at Cannes? I will be there for the whole festival. It would be great to connect with LFS people.
