Here is Marist’s winning film, “Allure” starring Sleepless in Lake Placid Best Actor and Actress Chris LaFountain and Jessica Marshall!
Team Marist was: Ali Read, Marissa Aiuto, Jeffrey Scott, and Nick Homler. Congrats to them!
The always excellent Jess Collier covered their win.
Somewhere in the development of this film I imagine a conversation between an executive and a producer. The executive is getting ready to sign the check to make Man of Steel over to the producer, but has three important questions first.
“Does it have big, giant things that go pssshhhhhkkkGGGGBBBllllttttCCRRRSSSHH!!?”
The producer happily affirms. Indeed, Man of Steel has lots of big machines that go pssshhhhhkkkGGGGBBBllllttttCCRRRSSSHH.
Next, the executive asks: “Are we going to have to do that whole, nerdy, secret-identity thing?”

Congratulations to Team Marist for winning the Robin Pell award and RIT for winning Audience Choice. Also congrats to Jessica Marshall for winning Best Actress in Marist’s “Allure” and Chris LaFountain for winning Best Actor in the same movie.

Today we have a full slate: starting with First Cousin Once Removed, Fairhaven with director Tom O’Brien, Syrup, Nathan Farb’s Home Movies, and concluding with the Sleepless in Lake Placid student competition!
Here’s today’s schedule and descriptions.
The Go Digital or Go Dark campaign stops at the Lake Placid Film Forum. From ANCA’s newsletter:
The 2013 Lake Placid Film Forum, June 13-16, will focus on the role of independent theaters in a world of Netflix and wireless devices.
The 13th annual Forum will host narrative and documentary features, special guests,“Coffee and Conversation,” the seventh Sleepless in Lake Placid film making competition, and the fifth North Country Shorts.

The forum kicks off Wednesday, June 12 at dusk, with a free screening of “The Mountains Will Wait for You,” the story of Grace Hudowalski, matriarch of the Adirondack 46ers club, at Mid’s Park off Main Street in Lake Placid. Director Fred Schwoebel will be there to share in his remarkable story.
One of the centerpieces of this year’s Forum, “Coffee and Conversation,” at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 15, features the topic of arthouse convergence and how North Country Theaters can continue to play a vital part of the shared experience in the digital age. Special guest Ira Deutchman, Columbia University professor and Managing Partner of Emerging Pictures, a New York-based digital exhibition company, will lead a discussion about movie theaters adapting to new models and fording the current digital sea change, which ties into the current “Go Digital” Campaign that the Adirondack Film Society helped spearhead a year ago.
News and updates can be found on the Film Forum blog — http://lpfilmforum.com/ — and on Facebook. Tickets are sold at each venue at the screening time. Passes for the entire event will be available online by visiting adkfilmsociety.com or calling 518-523-3456.
Listen to an interview at WFPK after Dark with A Band Called Death directors Jeff Howlett and Mark Covino, and come see the movie tonight at 6:30 at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts!
Kid, you’ll move mountains.
—Dr. Seuss. Here are the elements for the 2013 Sleepless in Lake Placid student competition.
Hi everyone. Well, here they are- this year’s elements. As always, we tried to tie these in with the Lake Placid region and with other aspects of the festival. Hope you find them interesting, and I hope they free up your creativity rather than the opposite! Keep in mind that the goal here is to integrate these elements in as organic a way as possible with the other elements of your story, and not as items on a treasure hunt checklist. We’ll talk a bit more about the difference between the two at the orientation.
A drum roll, please. This year’s three required elements are:
1. An opening quote about mountains, followed by an establishing shot of a mountainous, Adirondack skyline (see attached list of quotes).
2. A scene with one or more people watching something on a device, oblivious to the world around them.
3. A fishing lure.
Read the rest of Sleepless coordinator Barry Snyder’s requirements for the student competition.
An outdoor screening? Yes, please. (Hopefully this rain stops – if it doesn’t, the show will be at the High Peaks Resort in the Lakeside building.) And what better film for an outdoor show than Fred Schwoebel’s The Mountains Will Wait For You, an inspiring, family-friendly documentary about the legendary Adirondack 46er club and one of its most influential members, Grace Hudowalski.
The movie will begin around dark. Prior to screening, the director (who made the film over 20 years) will speak about his incredible experience. Come down to Mid’s Park on Main Street in Lake Placid and pull up some lawn for this FREE event, a one-of-a-kind experience watching a movie under the stars, sharing a story about our own unique Adirondack Mountains.
Our opening night films will be shown in a basement.
That’s right. That’s how we roll.
A Band Called Death and The Summit will play at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts on Thursday, June 13th starting at 6:30 PM downstairs…
in the basement.
Well, it’s also referred to as the “addition studio,” but we like “basement.”
Both of these films will play again throughout the weekend in a more “normal” venue, but the downstairs screening (where fans got to watch the much-talked-about Joe Papp screening last year) is a unique experience.
Bring a flashlight, just in case.
P.S. Also screening in the underground lair will be American Masters: Mel Brooks – Make a Noise and Nathan Farb’s Home Movies.
Perfect.
