2011 $100 Film Festival: Award Winners

Calgary’s 19th annual $100 Film Festival, a three-day event that screens short films that are shot only on celluloid, was held on March 3-5. Today, they’ve announced the five films that won awards.
The fest screens movies shot on either 16mm or Super 8 film. A “Best” award is given to one film each shot in both those formats. The Best 16mm Film Award went to Ben Rivers and Paul Harnden’s May Tomorrow Shine the Brightest of All Your Many Days As It Will Be Your Last. For the Best Super 8 Film, the Underground Film Journal is especially thrilled that the award went to Paul Clipson‘s brilliantly hypnotic Chorus, which was reviewed on this site back when it screened at the 2009 ATA Film & Video Festival.
Other awards went to Alexander Sakarev & Krasimira Sakareva’s Reminiscences for Best of Alberta, Magnus Irvin’s Spiral In, Spiral Out won the Jury’s Choice Award, and the Audience Favorite was Cassidy Bankson & Greg Jackson’s Christmas Compunction.
