BARBARA MINUTE FILM FESTIVAL EAST
RESORTS
CASINO HOTEL, ATLANTIC CITY – FRIDAY, JULY 30
Back
by popular demand, the sold out 2010 Santa Barbara Minute Film
Festival can be viewed on the big screen once again.
The
Santa Barbara Minute Film Festival,
which played to a standing-room only-crowd May 1
at the Faulkner
Gallery, will hold an
encore presentation in
the Screening Room on
the 13th
floor of the
Ocean Tower at RESORTS
CASINO HOTEL on
Friday July 30 at 7

piece, available at the door or by calling 609-823-9159. Proceeds
benefit both festival organizations.
The
festival features some 50
one minute films by
filmmakers and
directors from
around the world, with
eight countries and nine states represented. The program includes
thrillers, documentaries, experimental works, animation and horror,
each with a running time between 60 and 90 seconds. With
intermission, the program lasts 90 minutes. The UCSB’s
Daily Nexus called the
festival, “Short and
sweet…fascinating and diverse.”
Festival
founder and director,
Betty Johnson, a
Ventnor native said,
“I’m thrilled we have had so many requests to show the films
again. To be able to showcase the efforts of these skillful
filmmakers in my home area is quite remarkable”.
The
SBMFF “Best of the
Fest” winner was
Yongwa Chot’s animated
piece, We
Are All Here. Chot
is from New Jersey and expects to be at the festival along with other
filmmakers.
“We
are looking forward to a partnership with Santa Barbara Minute Film
Festival to complement the offerings of Downbeach Film
Festival/Atlantic City Cinefest,” said William Sokolic, Downbeach
founder and director. Buy Tickets
