Cinema Club members rate Club films on comment cards by general approval, how much they would or would not recommend the film, through qualitative comments, and on a scale of 1-5 for each of these five technical categories: Acting, Writing/Story, Cinematography, Editing/Pacing and the Use of Sound and Musical Score – it's the data from this last section that we use as part of a contest after each season to see how well members can guess their Club city's consensus of the films.
Thank you to all those who submitted entries to our first three contests. Those 21 winners won excellent film analysis works by our moderators and one was chosen randomly to win the 2009-10 grand prize, the Essential Art House: 50 Years of Janus Films DVD and book collection. Congrats again to that winner, Ann Paietta, of our Greater New Haven chapter!
Stay tuned to future e-newsletters for notice of the next contest and our next Grand Prize- we promise, it'll be a good one! To subscribe, choose your city from the drop-down menu above and then submit the "Stay Informed!" form.
THE FALL 2011 END-OF-SEASON CONTEST
Submit your guesses here!
Here's how to participate:
• This contest is only for enrolled members from the fall 2011 series (don't worry, new members: we'll hold the winter/spring 2012 contest for you at a later date).
• Complete step one below and submit your guesses of the best and worst in each category: Acting, Writing, Cinematography, Editing and Sound/Score – keeping in mind that you are trying to guess your club city's majority opinion of the films from the fall.
• The first member in your city to come closest to guessing all the correct responses will win a one-year subscription to CINEASTE MAGAZINE, and become eligible to win the 2010-11 grand prize (which will be announced in a future e-newsletter, but we promise- it'll be a good one!).
• Note: you only have until March 1st, 2012 to get your guesses in!
