SEFF Binghamton took place this past weekend and was extremely successful. The programs were well attended by students and film fans alike and we hope that we opened some new eyes to experimental cinema as an art form. Overall the class was a great experience and we have all learned about the hard work it takes to make a film festival possible.
From all of us in the Curating Film & Video class at Binghamton University we would like to say thank you to everyone who has helped with SEFF Binghamton whether it was by donating money, coming to the programs themselves, or simply reading this blog. The festival would not have been a success without you! We would especially like to thank filmmakers Dylan Lowry, Terry Jones, Keaton Fox, and Rebeccah Pope for coming to SEFF and speaking about their works. Another special thank you goes to all the filmmakers who submitted their films. If you did not make it this year, don't give up, there's always next year!
Also, thank you to all the venues that hosted SEFF Binghamton: the Art Mission & Theater, Cyber Cafe West, and Binghamton University's own Lecture Hall 6.
Check out the media gallery and our Facebook page for more pictures and videos from the festival.
It has been a pleasure blogging for you. Look out for the next SEFF Binghamton in 2013!

Good News & Program 2

We have some exciting announcements to make! First of all we would like to thank everyone who helped to fund our kickstarter. In the last few hours we surpassed our goal and made $255! This money is very important and will go helping us print programs and posters, pay for the venue, and get food for those attending. The money will make all the difference in the world and it is with the generous support of friends, family, and people like you that SEFF Binghamton is possible. 
Without further ado we would also like to present program 2 called "Tendencies of Existence." The program is curated by Brittany Cardamone and runs for 62.5 minutes. It will be presented on Saturday, December 8th at 2:00 p.m. at Cyber Cafe West.
