Kansas City Cinematic Tradition Cont'd

This morning we provide a bit of background on a great local movie watching opportunity . . . And our longstanding pet peeve . . .

THE TERM "FILM" IS CONSTANTLY MISUSED GIVEN THAT IT'S AN OUTDATED TECHNOLOGY!!!

We hear it all the time and it's a reference to imprinting an image onto celluloid by exposing it to light. 

An old school loved one might even use the term "film" when it comes to recording video on their cell phone . . . We can make the argument the term "record" even makes more sense given that people (read: hipsters) are still buying vinyl albums. 

But I digress . . . Here's a much happier note and more info . . .

"The Kansas City Filmmakers Jubilee was founded by Fred Andrews. In 1996, Fred recognized that Kansas City had an active and growing filmmaking community. He had been developing the monthly programs for the Film Society of Greater Kansas City, and found enthusiastic audiences for local filmmakers. However, there were few venues for these local artists to show their work, and fewer opportunities to hone their craft. Having never attended a film festival, Fred took action."

"Fred created the Kansas City Filmmakers Jubilee, a collaboration of the Kansas City Art Institute, University of Missouri Kansas City, Independent Filmmakers Coalition, Film Society of Greater Kansas City, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and Avila University. He distributed flyers to local filmmakers and students, inviting them to send entries to the inaugural event. Their entry fees, totaling $270, composed his budget for operations."
