last night i went to the final night of the urban nomad film festival. the films shown this night seemed a little better than the ones i saw on friday(not that what was shown on friday were bad). also they managed to fix the computer problems they were having on friday. once again i didn't stay for the entire screening, i wimped out when it started to rain. plus, the audience was starting to get on my nerves.

i've complained before about the lack of etiquette when going to the cinema, but this was worse as people were holding full length conversations throughout some of the films. if i'd been a filmmaker in attendance i'd be ticked off if people were talking through my film and not paying attention. when a film had no sound it became even more apparent that some people were there just to socialize with their friends. some of this may have had to do with the screening being outside which makes for a more relaxed environment, but that's no excuse for a lack of common courtesy. i mean if you want to talk to your friends go walk down by the river instead of inflicting your voices on the rest of us.

despite the problems and the annoying audience members, if there is a nomad film festival 5, i'll be there.
