Woodford Folk Festival

Woodford, Woodford, Woodford... As well as being one of Australia's premier cultural events, the Woodford Folk Festival can be a life changing experience. The entertainment, the environment and the people all make it a modern day magical week, where tens of thousands of festival-goers spend their Christmas/New Year holidays every year. For browndog productions, filming the woodford festival was our biggest challenge yet. We filmed the event independently, in our own style, with the blessing of the Woodford Committee. The result?.... With more than 50 hours of footage this amazing two-hour best-of-DVD truly brings to life the Woodford experience - even if you weren't there, it's just like being there! Artists include: Missy Higgins, Xavier Rudd, The Waifs, Linsey Pollak, Cat Empire, Sam Saunders Band, John Butler, Doch, Happy Side Show, Gadget, Ash Grunwald, Butterfingers, Tenzin Choegel, Waiting for Guiness, Elation, Jukebox Glitch, Kafka, Elixer, Sars, Conan The Bubbleman, Sensitive New Age Cowpersons, The Fire Ceremony, New Year Sunrise Concert. "In all my years of running this festival I have never seen anything like this. You have broken through a barrier here, not just in terms of capturing our festival but capturing music on film." Bill Hauritz, Executive Director of Woodford and Founder of the festival (1987). This totally independent browndog release, comprising of 20 individual live vignettes is a superb 130 minute DVD, featuring some of Australia's biggest artists set against the backdrop of Queensland, Australia's beautiful Glass House Mountains. "It makes me want to go!" has been said by virtually everyone who has previewed it.

SF IndieFest trailer: "Kissing On the Mouth"

Chicago filmmaker Joe Swanberg's "Kissing on the Mouth" is a confrontational and startling film that pulls out all the stops in the way it explores issues of sex and infidelity within post-college relationships. Ellen is sleeping with her exboyfriend and trying to ignore the fact he's looking for more than just sex. Her roommate, Patrick, isn't helping matters with his secretive and jealous behavior. The small cast served as the only crew on this intimate, often humorous film featuring frank dialogue, explicit sex, and real interviews with recent college graduates.

This is a part of the SF IndieFest.
