WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Images Cinema will present its 7th Annual 24-Hour Video Goosechase event this year on Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3. The 24-Hour Video Goosechase is an opportunity for people of all ages and all experience levels to conceive and create a video, and screen the final product on the big screen for the chance to win fabulous prizes, all within the span of 24 hours.
Participants should meet at the Cinema on Saturday, May 2 at 11:30am to receive the “secret clues” that must be incorporated into their videos, as well as basic video guidelines. Videos must be completed by Sunday, May 3 at 12 noon. The public screening of the videos is on Sunday, May 3 at 12:30pm. Images Cinema is located at 50 Spring Street, Williamstown, MA.
Images Cinema Managing Director and event co-organizer Janet Curran says of the event, “It’s a do-it-yourself film festival in which all the festival content is created and thrown together in one weekend. No one knows what to expect, so it’s a little nerve-wracking, but that’s what makes it great. Its fun and raucous, and pushes us all to our limits.”
People can make videos individually or in teams. Participants must provide their own equipment. Public access stations like Willinet, www.willinet.org and Northern Berkshire Community Television, www.bcn.net, are good resources for equipment, training, and editing suites.
