Blow Me a Kiss

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blow Me A Kiss.  A bittersweet story about memory and connection. Danced to the music of The Lovebullies, this 3 minute film revolves around a burlesque dancer, Mnemosyne who fulfills the intimate dreams of many in the cabaret.  In particular, three patrons, each wrestling with their own demons, are taken back to a time in their life that was significant and transforming for them.

Written, directed and produced by Corey Lee and Sandi Somers.  Beautifully shot by Jarrett Craig.  Made possible by a grant from Bravo!FACT.  Coming soon.

Cheers!

Question and Answer Print Lab – October 20, 2011 7:00 pm



 

 

 

 

 

 

The Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers is pleased to present the first Question and Answer Print Lab Screening: an Evening with Filmmaker Corey Lee, on Thursday October 20th at 7:00 PM.
Corey Lee has been working in film since 1993 and producing films for the last ten years. His work has been exhibited and awarded at film festivals in Canada and abroad. A selection of his work will screen within an interactive Q & A discussion with the filmmaker, as he discusses how and why he chose filmmaking as a career, his approach to writing and collaboration, what heʼs learned through the years about his own process, as well as films and filmmakers that have influenced him.
Films to be screened:

Selected scenes from DEFINING EDWARD (feature)
After an accident, a depressed, pill popping cartoonist suffering from amnesia, wakes to find himself attended to by three residents of a house in the middle of nowhere. What began with the kindness of strangers, quickly collapses into a twisted game of self preservation, as one man fights to unlock the truth about his own troubled past.
CLIMAXXX: A LOVE STORY. (short film)
A pair of inept filmmakers struggle to make the first large format 3-D adult film.
THE KILTER TRILOGY.
The Perfection of the Moment. What Youʼre Ready For. In Translation. Three short films adapted from John Gouldʼs 2003 Giller Prize short-listed collection.
ARMOUR FOR A BOY. (short film)
A manga inspired animated folktale of one Roninʼs desire for retribution and a Senseiʼs final lesson.

… and likely a surprise or two.

The Question and Answer Print Lab screening takes place at 7:00 PM, Thursday October 20th, 2011, at the CSIF Sofa Cinema, Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers, J2, 2711 Battleford Ave SW, Calgary, AB (Currie Barracks).  Admission is free.
