Starting October 2010
AFCOOP’s new ‘Bring Your Own Film’ Social Screening Series is a bi-monthly open presentation platform and social mixing event for independent filmmakers and viewers.
BYOF seeks to erase the border between filmmaker and audience. Screenings will consist of works in progress, rough-cuts, or newly finished films by local filmmakers. Each screening will include a short intro by the filmmaker as well as ample time for discussion and feedback from the audience.
BYOF screenings offer a genuinely censor-free space — a level playing-screen for beginners and more experienced filmmakers alike; as well as a chance for experimentation and eccentricity, for unexpected collaborations and maverick creativity to find a voice and flourish.
