Good news! Our schedule is up on B-Side!
Bad news! I cannot adjust the "Festival Films" link on our front page, and will have to wait until He-Who-Can gets my email. And because it's New Year's Day (when all is quiet...nothing changes...I will begin again), this make take a while to resolve.
However! Since I spent most of today inputting the screening times, OBVIOUSLY I want to share with all of you....
Information about ticketing (how much they are, how to get them, etc.) will be posted by or before JANUARY 15.
In the meantime, check out our listings, and get to know our 2010 filmmakers by reading our Take 5 series.
Happy New Year!

37 days and counting...
Just as Dennis, the "old woman" who was actually a man in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, would point out, 37 is "not old", and is not much time until our opening night on Thursday, February 4.
We are proofing the printed program, and getting files ready to load to the online schedule which SHOULD be ready before the New Year starts. So stay tuned!
In the meantime, we hope you are enjoying the Take 5 series. A glitch beyond my understanding means that when Melanie's postings show up on our website's front page, the text is black on a black background, whereas mine turn out "normal". But I can tell you that it has been reported. Until then, if you highlight the text, you can read it. Or click on the Blogger "B" icon. Sorry about that.
Happy New Year, y'all!

Festival opens in 39 days!
Thirty-nine days until we open. Oddly, I can't help think but another use of the number 39....
Too bad I didn't notice in time for forty days -- that number has biblical import!
We hope to post the schedule online via our continued partnership with the wonderful folks at B-Side.com, shortly after the holidays.
In the meantime, stay tuned for more Take 5's!

Notification Friday
Notifications -- both acceptances and rejections (or non-acceptances, if you prefer) -- for the 2010 Oxford Film Festival went out tonight.
We will post a list of our competition films in the coming days, and hope to have our showcase/non-competition lineup firmed up before the holidays.
To those whose films were accepted: congratulations, and we hope you can join us in February. One of the highlights for those of us who work the festival is to put a face with the name. And to play beer pong with you.
To those whose films were not accepted this time: please know that your film was carefully considered, and that it was not right for us this year. We have fewer screens and fewer venues than many festivals, which means we accept fewer films. Please do not be discouraged.
For insight into the independent film festival circuit, I cannot recommend Film Festival Secrets highly enough. It is a must read for aspiring filmmakers.
And I'm not just saying that because I'm quoted in the book version.

R.E.M.: This is not a show (ONE NIGHT ONLY @ The Lyric)
Friday, October 30
8:pm
$5 at the door
60 min.
ONE TIME ONLY
The Oxford Film Festival is pleased to partner with The Lyric Oxford to bring the brand-new (dairy-fresh!) concert film, R.E.M.: THIS IS NOT A SHOW, for a one-time screening.
The film chronicles the band's “working rehearsals” at Dublin's Olympia Theatre in 2007, where they played classics (These Days, Cuyahoga, So. Central Rain) and tested then-new material (from ACCELERATE) over five nights before sold-out crowds.
"R.E.M.'s music is ... the soundtrack to your life" -- actually, this is true, at least for me.
Hope you can join us....
