“Pavane” is going to Chicago!!
February 5, 2009
BookShorts honcho Judith Keenan (I’m using Variety magazine lingo here, seeing as we’re discussing movies) and writer/helmer Paul Quarrington are pleased to announce that their short film “Pavane” has been accepted into the Chicago International Movies and Music Festival (CIMMfest.) Mike Phillips, the programing director, was very complimentary: he called our film “a great demonstration of how much life and backstory one can fit in a short running time. I think it has more to say than most feature-length films.” Now THAT’S what we like to hear!
Oh, and here’s a little update. We ourselves are going to Chicago, and whilst there, I am going to be part of the CIMMfest All-Star Blues Jam Band, which will feature legendary bassist Robban Hagnas from the Finnish group “The Wentus Blues Band.” Porkbelly Futures have shared the stage with this fine band before, at last years Canadian Music Week. Robban is an excellent high-energy musician, so I better start practising and bolting back the Red Bull.
This is going to take place at the Awards ceremony at the Chicago Cultural Centre, Sunday March 8th.?

That’s so great that you know him! I’ve made inquiries about a drummer from one of the Chicago bands represented in the festival–have to have someone from the home team! I’m really looking forward to this.
