Still looking for a name for this event, but regardless of that, I feel that this was the best one yet, it seems I'm starting to build a bunch of regulars who understand and support what I'm trying to do, and that they are augmented by curious regulars who.... well, who at least don't hate it.
This time the films were...
Invocation of My Demon Brother (Kenneth Anger)
Pioniri maleni (Zelimir Zilnic)
The Tesla World Light (Matthew Rankin)
Mynarski Death Plummet (Matthew Rankin)
Stalled (Matt Black)
Bobby Yeah (Robert Morgan)
Lucifer Rising (Kenneth Anger)
I also feel that, having done it a few times, I am now just that bit more confident in introducing the films and the night as a whole.... perhaps it was made that much easier by my impenetrable disguise. I think that knowing that no-one there had any idea that it was me speaking just gave me that little bit of extra confidence to slow down from my usual speed - I'm beginning to realise that my peculiar slurred motormouth speaking style is less than ideal for native speakers, never mind those from other countries* and, with my face hidden like this...
... I felt able to speak more slowly and at greater length. I think some of the people may have understood some of what I said.
This month I am going to launch my long threatened/promised newsletter thing, so, if anyone wants to join that, feel free to pm me with your email address. And if anyone wants to contribute any kind of writing on film at all that would be more than welcome of course.
*I made a quick informal count of nationalities present and I came up with: English, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Icelandic, Polish, Italian, Austrian, Dutch, Indian,
