Hi film lovers and ReFrame fans,
Tomorrow at Noon - ReFrame begins!
We received an excellent spread in the Arthur today: www.trentarthur.ca
Once again, for three film-packed days in downtown Peterborough from Friday January 29 to Sunday the 31, 2010, ReFrame turns its intensive, magical gaze on events and issues and triumphs and trials here, there, and everywhere.
On our new web site you can build your own personal festival calender, see trailers and photos and get the latest schedule and special event information.
We kick off the festival at Noon (12 pm) on Friday. We are screening the feature fiction film Bird's Nest at Showplace, documentaries A Year at Sherbrooke and Chance of a Lifetime at Market Hall as well as The End of the Line at the Public LIbrary. The Opening Night screening is 7:30 pm at Showplace. This year we are getting a rare glimpse into the lives of Burmese video journalists with Burma VJ.
Need a break from watching film? Take a walk throughout the downtown and visit the “Still ReFrame” Art Shows at Showplace, Natas, The Spill, Black Honey, and Blue Tomato Art Shop. A walking tour will leave Showplace Friday at Noon.
Come see Forgetful Not Forgotten at Showplace at 4pm- you will get a chance to hear from the director Chris Wynn on his experiences with Alzheimers.
Or go to Market Hall where filmmaker Lila Ghobady will present her film Forgotten Sun Dance which looks at the repression of dance under the Iranian revolution-also at 4 pm.
Save energy for Saturday evening, festival goers can take in singer/songwriter Sarah DeCarlo , dub poet Chet Singh, and musician Jarrett Prescott at the Kubo Lounge. Our closing night party will be at The Spill Cafe with a performance by Dub Trinity.
You can get an ALL-Access Festival Pass for only $30 for adults and $15 for students or underwaged.A single screening is paid for at the door.
Thank you to all of our pass sellers: in Millbrook at Bear Essentials, in Lindsay at Common Grounds, in Lakefield at Happenstance Books and Yarn, and in Peterborough at Have You Seen video store, Kawartha World Issues Centre (KWIC), and Titles Bookstore.
Reframe is a local co-operative phenomenon. Over 100 community organizations and businesses sponsor the event. Representatives of local groups introduce programs, making links between what is happening in the films and what is happening in our own communities.
alright its 2 am - I better sleep so I can smile at you tomorrow

We Will be Launching a New Website
ReFrame is thrilled to announce that we will be launching our new website in late September 2009. For the past four years Quidnovis (www.quidnovis.com) has provided us with space on their community website. It has been an incredible donation and we will be forever grateful to them for getting ReFrame up on the web and helping us navigate our way through it. Quidnovis will continue to support ReFrame by hosting of our website.
It was a very exciting time for ReFrame this summer when Esther Vincent from Mustang Web Design (www.evmustang.ca) agreed to share her skill and design abilities with us to create our own website. Mustang has been very patient in teaching us the ways of the web design world so we can have a nice looking but still very functional site. I learned very quickly that there is way more to web design than what meets the eye. ReFrame certainly has a new appreciation for web design. Thanks Esther you have been wonderful to work with.
This leads me to the the site graphics. We love the look of the site and we have lots of other design changes coming for our 2010 festival thanks to Brandhealth. Brandheath is now the new designer for the festival so stay tuned for whats coming out of their design room. Brandhealth (www.brandhealth.ca) has been amazing to work with over the past 10 month coming on board late last year to design our new and amazing one pager folded program to help the festival become greener. Thanks Brandhealth
We want to take this opportunity to remember acknowledge and to thank Jennifer Tiberio Designs. Jennifer Tiberio was the festival's founding designer and has provided us with outstanding design for 5 years. Her ever beautiful, creative design and attention to detail helped the festival grow to what it is today. Jennifer is a very busy designer mainly based out of Toronto. We are sad to say goodbye but we understand the time necessary to do the our design was becoming increasing difficult with all of the other work she is doing in Toronto. Thanks Jenn, you will be forever missed and we will feel forever grateful for your contribution to the festival.
So, you've got the low-down on the up and coming site and all of the design... Stay tuned for our new domain name. It will be available here in late September.
