The Leaves
(2006 - B&W - 16mm)
On November 19, 2006, I shot "The Leaves", my entry in IFCO's Fall 2006 16mm Dogme Challenge. I got one roll of 16mm 7222 black and white negative film, a Bolex camera and had 24 hours to make a film within the following constraints:
- You may only use available light.
- You may do only in-camera editing.
- You may not do any post-production work whatsoever (no editing, no sound, no cuts, no dissolves, etc.)
- You must show the following credits at some point in your film: (a) the words: “Fall 2006 IFCO Dogme Challenge ”; (b) your name; (c) the film title.
Cast and Crew
- Sebastien Fournier: "The Leaf Guy"
- Paul Finnegan: "The Raker"
- Peter Hebert: Director, camera operator
- Steven Giouras: Camera assistant, still photos
The Leaves had its first screening at IFCO's Holiday party on December 14, 2006 at the Mercury Lounge.
