My First Sundance

January 24th, 2008 • Related Posts • Tags

Hit the ground running in last night, going to the Institute’s World Cinema party. What a rockin’ jam! Ran into Tim Sternberg and Francisco Bello who were just nominated for an Academy Award for their short Salim Baba, a beautiful film about a man who shows bits of film in a kind of portable light box in North Kolkata, and which is playing here. Here’s a little short video we made with Francisco’s mini-slate.

Ok, so maybe not Oscar worthy, but Salim Baba is. Best of luck to Tim and Francisco. I have an awesome clip of the DJ but alas YouTube and slow wireless are conspiring against me. More soon.
