PSIFSF 2007: Day 3
Did I Mention They Had Films?
I’ve set a new personal record for films watched at Palm Springs: 92. This is humanly possible because of one special feature: The Film Market. Palm Springs takes all 2500 submissions and sticks them on a a series of shelves. Pass holders can check them out in groups of 5 and watch them on one of twelve viewing stations. The Market, managed by Cos (short for Cosmo), is very well run by a host of volunteers. Which is good, considering how busy the Market became over the weekend. There was a waiting list for those wanting to view films. Fortunately, I had an Industry Pass, which took me to the head of the line.
The Dam Short Film Festival also hosts a Film Market, with around 800 films on the shelves. As far as I know, that makes only two short film markets in the U.S.
The Film Market - always a perfect seat.
