THE
INDEPENDENT FILM-MAKER
Official Organ of The Independent Film-Makers Association
^IFMA
The Ifma has two very definite functions. The first of these, that of providing information and advice, is working overtime. This is as it should be. The second function is to collect information from members about their work and plans and to make this information available to other members.
At first sight this may seem superfluous ; actually it is not. Every amateur is always coming up against difficulties in the surmounting of which he acquires knowledge which can be of very definite use to others.
To co-ordinate this information a Bulletin will shortly be issued to be followed by others at intervals of three months unless enough news is received to warrant a more frequent issue.
The Ifma will be glad to receive notes about your work for publication in this Bulletin. It may be a technical trick that you have discovered or it may be an appeal for information about a location or a subject for a script. Please look upon this Bulletin as an opportunity to express yourself on any subject connected with the cinema.
SUMMER SCHOOL
Plans for the summer school have been completed and full particulars will appear in the first Bulletin. It is to be held at Digswell Park, Welwyn, the first week-end in August. All the advisers have given their provisional consent to attend the school. One of them will take out a working party. Another criticise member's films. Another will bring down a film he has made and give a talk on it.
So many members have intimated their intention of being present that the Association would like to make its final arrangements for accommodation as soon as possible. A limited number of non-members will be accepted (on payment of a small supplementary fee), but application must be made immediately.
