My Home Town Winners

Whilst hanging about in the bookshop waiting for my friend in the telephone reception unfriendly BFI last night, I spied a copy of Guy Maddin’s My Winnipeg DVD.

It was way exciting to turn it over and see that the winner of the My Home Town competition (In Case I Disappear) actually had their film on the disc, even though I knew they would. So thanks Marie at Soda Pictures for helping to put together such a great competition with us! I find it exciting that we were able to offer distribution for some of the entries on the Internet, television, DVD and at festival screenings.

The four which will air on 3 Minute Wonder as a series early next year, and each get £1,500, are:

In Case I Disappear – Simon Aeppli
Parade – Mathy Tremwan
My Amersham – Marco Williamson
Stratford Side B – Christopher Chen

So congrats to them, and everyone who entered. You can now watch all 12 shortlisted films in the new My Home Town player, or leave comments about individual films in the blog. Do you think we chose the best films? And what did you make of the way Lee discussed them? Let me know…
