Another year, another Kent Film Festival, and another lot of great entries, that I feel sure the audience at the Powell Theatre greatly appreciated and certainly warranted a big thank you to the many people who entered this year. Congratulations, I think are in order to the prize winners who helped to make the day so memorable, though looking at some of the other movies shown to the judges, both pre and final they certainly had a hard job on their hands. I always think judges deserve more praise. It is a hard and thankless task with more brickbats than applause and the fact of life is, without them, we would have no Festival.
The committee will shortly be meeting to see if we can make the Festival even better next year. In my opinion, complacency is, in any set up, arrogant, and we should always strive to improve our annual event and continue to help the film makers of Kent to have their movies projected onto the large screen, in the wonderful surroundings provided by Christ Church University College.
Putting aside the films, I always think these events, like the Kent Film Festival, also provide an opportunity for people with the love of film to meet and enjoy the company of enthusiasts just like yourselves. If you missed this year, or have never attended the Festival, make sure you keep an eye open for the date of the 2007 Kent Film Festival and come and join the party.
If, for whatever reason, you have never entered the Festival and feel perhaps your work is not good enough, do have a go next year. You will at least get words of encouragement from the judges, or you may see your film on a big screen. Who knows, you may win a trophy, like someone did this year at her very first attempt
