This has absolutely nothing to do with movies or even the Beaufort Int'l Film Fest. It's just a great song and kind of our unofficial theme for BIFF 2011...
...and yet film is very defninitley a marriage of sound and vision. During the recent Beaufort Film Society event at Saltus we were briefly party to a conversation between a pair of film professionals, one an accomplished cinematographer and the other a much sought after sound designer and editor. Of course, the good-natured argument centered around which was more important - literally - sound or vision? They can argue the point until Megan Fox's Oscar speech. The ultimate answer is that sound and vision are co-dependent in the modern age of film.
Which brings us to one of the finalists in the Feature Film category, Beaufort's own Michael Givens Angel Camouflaged. Michael wrote, directed and photographed the movie. And since music is a big part, we're pretty sure he appreciated his sound editor, too.
Michael tells us his leading lady, Dilana, is flying in from South Africa for BIFF. Frankly, we're slightly terrified at the prospect.
