Andy may refer to:
A film festival is an organized, extended presentation of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. Increasingly, film festivals show some films outdoors. Films may be of recent date and, depending upon the festival's focus, can include international and domestic releases. Some festivals focus on a specific film-maker or genre (e.g., film noir) or subject matter (e.g., horror film festivals). A number of film festivals specialise in short films of a defined maximum length. Film festivals are typically annual events. Some film historians do not consider Film Festivals as official releases of film, like Jerry Beck. The best known film festivals are the Venice Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival, the latter being the largest film festival worldwide, based on attendance. The Venice Film Festival is the oldest major festival. The Melbourne International Film Festival is the largest film festival in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the oldest in the world. A 2013 study found 3,000 active films festivals worldwide—active defined as having held an event in the previous 24 months.
Charles Tonderai Mudede (born February 8, 1969) is a Rhodesian writer, filmmaker, and leftwing cultural critic. Though born in Kwekwe (then called Qwe Qwe, Rhodesia), he spent much of his childhood in the United States, and returned to Zimbabwe shortly after independence. Between 1982 and 1988, his mother, Tracy Mudede, was a lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe, and his father, Ebenezer Mudede, was an economist for the Zimbabwe government. Between 1990 and 2001, his father worked as an economist for the Botswana government and his mother lectured at the University of Botswana. In 1989, he moved to the US to study literature, art history, and political philosophy. He has never returned to Zimbabwe, and his parents moved to the US from Botswana in 2002 for medical reasons. The Mudedes are Manicas and were once close to Bishop Abel Tendekayi Muzorewa, the prime minister of the short-lived coalition government called Zimbabwe Rhodesia (1979–1980).
Mudede is currently Associate Editor for the Seattle-based weekly The Stranger, as well as lecturer in English Humanities at Pacific Lutheran University near Tacoma, Washington. His Police Beat column was turned into a film of the same name in 2004. The movie was selected for competition at the Sundance Film Festival 2005. In 2003, Mudede published a short book called Last Seen with Diana George. Mudede was also a member of the now defunct Seattle Research Institute, a Marxist circle inspired by the Frankfurt School and the work of Hardt and Negri. SRI published two books, Politics Without The State and Experimental Theology. (Mudede and George edited the former.) Mudede has also published essays and articles with Nic Veroli, a French American Marxist philosopher, and is on the editorial board for Arcade, an architectural journal.
The first 2 minutes from my sci-fi short film WIRELESS. Uploaded as a test before uploading the rest.

Just days old, and tiny as all get-out.
The remastered final cut of Combustible Chef in glorious HD! Official selection: Milan International Film Festival, Rome Independent Film Festival, International Slow Food Film Festival, NWFF Local Sightings, DC Independent Film Festival. Starring Charles Leggett. Cinematography by Adam Berman, music by Wayne Horvitz, produced by Andy Spletzer, written and directed by Per Anderson.
This short was commissioned for the 1st Annual Andy Spletzer Invitational as part of the 2007 NW Film Forum's Local Sightings film festival. Old Tricks was shot using a Canon HV20 camcorder using an Cinevate Brevis 35mm adapter. The camera records in HD using the HDV codec and coupled with the 35 mm lenses produces an almost film-like aesthetic. The film was as much a test of the camera's capabilities as it was a test of our abilities in using it.
This was my somewhat self-contained contribution to EXCinema Exquisite Corpse 2014. Thanks to Salise Hughes for inviting me and to my lifemate Sarah for co-starring and putting up with this silliness. Filmed on location on the Kipahulu/Kaupo side of Maui. The film in its entirety premiered at The Grand Illusion in Seattle on December 9, 2014. From the program notes: Thirteen filmmakers were given separate instructions for images to start and end their film sections. Their last image will randomly connect with the matching starting image from another filmmaker to create an unconsciously-collaborative feature film. EXquisite Corpse Cinema takes you on a wild ride through the creative consciousness of filmmakers from Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Kaupo, Baton Rouge, Ruma (Serbia), and Ne...

Introductions of panelists August 21, Thursday at 7pm FILM SALOON: ADAPTATIONS & REVISIONS This evening we call attention to film artists who draw from the creative wellspring of those that have come before them. Cinema has a long history of making visual adaptations to novels, plays, comic books, operas, etc. But muses sometimes speak in tongues! Cinema is also strewn with controversial successes and failures as directors re-imagine their source material to challenge traditional fans and engage with new ones by turning familiar material on its ear. Tonight, we sit down with some of Seattle's own filmmakers who have chosen to make work based in part or in full on someone else's previous work. Some filmmakers attempt to remain faithful to the original text and illustrate by su...

Watch online your free HD movies: http://eita.space/mmov/70/en/B00004S896/tv The first indication that this made-for-tv tribute to Lost in Space was hastily slapped together is its choice of hosts. Instead of picking somebody associated with the show, or with show creator Irwin Allen, or even with science fiction, the producers picked sitcom star John Larroquette. That's the first of a series of awkward choices (larroquette's banter with the Robot is particularly awful), which reaches its nadir in a segment in which Billy Mumy, Jonathan Harris, and the Robot reunitein character as Will Robinson, Dr. Smith, and the Roboton the reconstructed deck of the Jupiter 2, and pretend to get lost in space... forever! Ick. The fact that Billy Mumy was a producer and cowriter on this project only erode...
