Connected screening under the stars at Piazza Caduti per la Libertá in Bra, Italy

Last weekend Connected was screened at the Cinema Corto In Bra International Film Festival. The festival takes place in the charming city of Bra about 50 km south of Turin in Italy. As directors we were invited to participate in the festival, and to attend a short Q&A with the audience after the screening of the film. Most of the screenings was held outside, and it was an amazing experience to gather at the central piazza in the warm Italian night to watch great shorts. With the stars over your head and the sound of the film projector clattering behind you. The film was well received and we would love to come back to Bra an other time.

We have been asked participate with Connected in the genre film programme at the annual Gen Con convention in Indianapolis, USA. Gen Con is one of the largest and most prominent gaming conventions in North America, with more than 28,000 unique attendees last year!  The convention exhibits the latest in role-playing games, miniatures wargames, board games, live action role-playing games, collectible card games, strategy games, computer games, etc. We are really exited about this and hope that the crowd will enjoy the film.

Connected will be screened as the first film in the “Genre Short Film Block B” on Saturday the 7th as a part of the 6:30 pm set, and once on Sunday the 8th at 12:30.

UPDATE: We are traveling to Italy to attend the festival in Bra. We are really looking forward to go there, looks like a very interesting programme. Connected will will be screened on saturday night, June 26, with a repeat the day after in the morning. We will be available for a Q&A with the audience on saturday.

We just received the great news that Connected has been accepted for the SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival 2010. The festival will take place from the 28th of April to the 3rd of May at the The Apollo Piccadilly Circus Cinema, London’s most luxurious cinema. The festival had a record number of submissions this year, and Connected was selected along with just 25 other films to compete in the short film programe.
