FILM FESTIVAL

October 26-27, 2007

All screenings take place in the landmark Paramount Theatre, a restored 1930s movie palace on the National Register of Historic Places. The Paramount is located at 352 Cypress Street in Abilene, Texas. Visit the theatre’s website at: http://www.paramount-abilene.org/.

If you love films and want to get a glimpse of the “next wave” of cinema talent, then you won’t want to miss 24FPS 2007.

Festival Director Barry Smoot, who also serves as the Paramount Artistic Director, says 24fps “…was born from an idea to encourage aspiring filmmakers. As a nationally recognized historic theatre, we are dedicated to preserving and celebrating the cinematic art form. It seems only fitting that we have a hand in encouraging its future as well.”

Entries are encouraged at every level of experience. Smoot said, “…we charge the Official Jury to look at each film independently, and ask them to consider how it communicates to them individually. Method of production is less important. We ask them to consider how the artist has used whatever tools available to communicate their vision.”
