After a year of legal debates, an agreement has been reached that allows Axanar Productions to finally move ahead with filming the fan-project Star Trek: Axanar. However, the project will not be made in the way it was originally planned. Due to Paramount/CBS Guidelines for Fan Films, the delayed movie will be shortened to a half-hour and altered from the way it was previously intended.
Last year, Paramount and CBS put a stop to the many internet fan-made films and web series based on Star Trek. Their strict production guidelines crippled multiple fan-created projects, including Star Trek: Axanar, a planned feature length fan film that focuses on the Federation’s first war with the Klingons, and features Garth of Izar, a Trek character introduced in the classic Star Trek TV series (1966-1969) in the episode “Whom Gods Destroy”.

Once again, the St. Louis International Film Festival is fast approaching. Primarily sponsored by Stella Artois and now in its 20th year, the fest has really established itself as one of the best around. It will hit multiple venues around the city beginning November 10th and continue through November 20th.
This is a call, a challenge to the local filmmakers out there: Get up, put on your shoes, and go see some of these films. You owe it to your fellow filmmakers and yourself as well, because the work is amazing.
As one of the volunteers involved in assembling the shorts programs, I have to tell you, the shorts I have seen thus far are nothing less than spectacular. This past summer’s Showcase of local talent featured some of the most technically proficient pieces I have ever seen, and this years’ Sliff is...

One of the oldest festivals in Europe, the Krakow Film Festival has a reputation among cinephiles as one of the continent’s most prestigious venues for short filmmaking and one of Eastern Europe’s largest markets for documentaries. Its 51st edition, which came to a close Memorial Day weekend, largely lived up to the hype. Unspooling 87 films of various shapes and sizes during the final week of May, it devoted a significant amount of its program to Polish cinema, with a competition section devoted solely to Polish films regardless or length or type. The shorts programming seems to be the heart of the festival, with many of the prime evening slots in the festival’s modernist ground zero the Kijow Centrum devoted to shorts blocks.
