A week ago this time, FLEFF was in full force.
FLEFFers of all shapes and sizes were flocking their local cinema houses and after party bars to sneak a peak and meet and greet. Roaming to and fro in our fair Ithaca, this diverse bunch of FLEFFers (artists,filmmakers,screenwriters,musicians,directors,partners,programmers,
liaisons, film lovers, Ithaca residents,activists, interns,faculty,fellows and students etc. etc....) did their best to take full advantage of the 150 multi-art extravaganza.
Aww, how me wee' heart aches for the sights and sounds that made this year's FLEFF the best yet.
Baloney? Just ask Patty Z. Or take a look at the photos below:
You really could NOT leave FLEFF's opening night Memescapes event, without some idea about what a meme was ... ( photo credits to Bethany Davison)
Just in case, move your memory backward with this:
Now you can see just why these folks thought the Park Aud was the hottest place in I-town.
And these FLEFF interns were delighted to let them in...
Those smiles come from being equally WOWed bythe sounds of Judy Hyman, Jeff Claus, Rick Hansen, Jay Olsa, and Robby Ace , the voice of Cynthia Henderson the sights of the Human Studies Film Archives & Smithsonian Institution
brought to you by Anne Michael and Phil Wade .....
Afterward some students took advantage to show some appreciation by performing the ritual shake and schmooze routine. ( This is a FLEFF staple)
Becky shows us , another FLEFF intern must do..
Of course there is plenty time in the FLEFF week for an intern or two contemplate ...
These ladies ponder Siona Benjamin's Blue Like Me during the the Panic Hits Home opening event with Renate Ferro
Speaking of hitting home, later in the week the students of Shaianne Osterreich's Marco Economics class were struck by the struggles of Haitian family in The Gaming Meme I Workshop presented by Ulises Mejias.
Even though the good times have wrapped for this year, FLEFF will back to reboot the environment before you know it.
Till then...
