WITASWAN Features Australian Film âLook Both Waysâ in 2006 Program
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 13, 2006
Australian director Sarah Watt will show her new film âLook Both Waysâ at the 2006 WITASWAN program on Saturday, March 18 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Landmark Century Centre Cinema (2828 North Clark Street in Chicagoâs Lincoln Park neighborhood).
Sarah Watt is an award-winning filmmaker who has been working as a writer, director and producer of animation for 15 years. Her acclaimed animation “Small Treasures” (1995;15mins) brought widespread international attention, winning amongst its many honors the âBaby Lionâ for Best Short Film at the Venice Film Festival. That year “Local Dive” and “Living with Happiness” followed, both of which screened widely at festivals and theatrically, winning many Australian and international awards.
Sarahâs hand-painted animated films are distinguished by her comic exploration of personal status set against Australian landscapes. âLook Both Waysâ is her debut feature. Unlike her short films, âLook Both Waysâ is live-action, interspersed with animated sequences. Set over a long, hot weekend, the film presents seven people who are trying to deal with unexpected events. As their paths intersect, they create an intriguing picture which is both intimate and universal.
âI set out to make a romantic comedy,â said Watt, âbut the stuff of most peopleâs lives includes what we think of as tragedies, so ‘Look Both Ways’ ended up a bit of both, I guess⦠I tried to keep everything as ârealâ as I could, to allow people to receive the film as a part of their own experience, to bring their own lives to it and enjoy it that way.â
âLook Both Waysâ has already received praise from the Australian Film Institute, including Best Film, Best Direction, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Support Actor awards, in addition to the Discovery Award from the Toronto International Film Festival jury. It was also named the 2005 âFilm of the Yearâ by the Australian Catholic Film Office.
âLook Both Waysâ was shown in Chicago last October as a part of the 41st annual Chicago International Film Festival. Kino International, the filmâs US distributor, will be opening the film theatrically in Los Angeles and New York in April, with additional engagements planned around the United States this spring.
The 2006 WITASWAN program was organized by the members of AAUW-Illinois (the American Association of University Women) and IWPA (the Illinois Womanâs Press Association), with the proud support of the Australian Consulate-General Chicago.
This is the second WITASWAN program, timed for Women’s History Month. The first program was held on March 19, 2005 at the Chicago Cultural Center. The acronym WITASWAN stands for âWomen in the Audience Supporting Women Artists Now.â
WITASWAN is an Illinois-based initiative dedicated to building international support for women filmmakers. WITASWAN members believe that âLook Both Waysâ is an excellent choice for Womenâs History Month, because it captures the vision and voice of an important new female filmmaker. The Australian Consulate-General in Chicago is supporting this event by arranging for Sarah Watt to speak to the group, introducing each film and then taking questions from the audience at the end. She will talk about women in the film industry in general as well as specific topics germane to her craft.

Engineering Firm Post-Produces A Digital Short Film That Will Be Screened At 2006 Cannes Film Festival
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 21, 2006
Durrenberger Engineering, Inc. used its proprietary Digital Video To Film transfer process to create the 35mm print of the short film entitled “Atenea Y Afrodita” that will be shown at “Tous Les Cinemas du Monde” program of the world-famous festival, on May 24 at 1pm.
The 2006 “Tous Les Cinema du Monde” program features the work of over 80 international producers. This is the first year that an entry from Venezuela was selected to be shown.
The short film “Atenea Y Afrodita”, that was produced by Harold Lopez Garroz in Venezuela, was filmed using digital video camera technology and editted using non-linear computer editing technology. The producer and team mastered a digital video (DV) tape, then sent the master to Durrenberger Engineering, Inc. who performed the transfer of the DV tape from the video domain to a 35mm motion picture print. This print, known as the Release Print, is capable of being projected in virtually any motion picture theater worldwide.
Durrenberger Engineering, Inc. completed the transfer at its San Diego facility and using various service firms in Burbank CA. The transfer process is as follows. Durrenberger Engineering, Inc. post-produces a 35mm negative of the short film videotape at its San Diego facility. Then the negative is sent to a motion picture film development lab in Burbank, where the film is developed, then to a sound stage facility where sound is synchorized to picture, and finally, back to the development lab which makes the final 35mm print.
Durrenberger Engineering, Inc has been producing DV To Film Transfers for over five years. The firm has transferred several feature films which have been distributed in Europe, USA and Mexico, as well as many short films that have been screened in festivals such as Ottawa International Animation Festival, etc. In addition, the firm has produced movie trailers for films such as “Word Wars” (Seventh Arts Releasing), “Stuey” (Starring Michael Imperioli) and “Unspeakable” (Starring Dennis Hopper).
