I totally missed this because I am a loser-spaz, but according to A-S.net, stanfordwank's secret lover, Flakes is going to be at South by South West Film Festivial in Austin, Texas. You can register to attend here. Note, Austin, TX is a damn good place to be if you're a Stanford film. Live Free or Die won the jury award at SXSW in 2006, and Runaway won

Aw! I wanna be in Austin, Texas!

I hope they bring it to one of the Australian film festivals. That would be teh cool.

It's definitely not at the Adelaide Film Festival! I've checked. Fuckers haha.

Did you know that Rick was screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival? I think that's a bit of awesome.

Rick was one of the rare films that went to a lot of international film festivals.. It went to a Russian Film Festival, as well.. It was really odd-ball and rather.. Not American and since Flakes was filmed in New Orleans and The Cake Eaters was filked in the New York area.. I don't know if they'll focus on that.. But I know Tribecca and Wood stock do have catagories for films that were filmed in the area.. And I don't know how far they're willing to travel. Depends on the production company, I suppose. I know the guy who wrote the screenplay for Rick was the guy who does the Lemony Snicket books, so he's independently wealthy so I don't know if that had anything to do with why that film went so far around the world.. Or if it was because it was based on Rigoletto. But I don't have very high hopes for either of these films leaving American or Canadian film festivals. And I say Canadian on the off chance it ends up somewhere in Toronto..

Hah, Rick is definitely a bit of an "odd" film xD! I liked it though.

But yeah, I see what you're saying. I doubt "Flakes" and "The Cake Eaters" would come to our film festivals. We actually have heaps of Australian film-makers submitting their films, so... they get first preference I suppose.

But oh well. Hopefully I'll get to see them someday.
