Capel Curig AV Day April 20th
A good size audience from both North Wales and Wirral converged on the Community Centre at Capel Curig last Sunday, 20th April for the fourth meeting of the North Wales & Wirral Audio Visual Group. The day started with attendees sequences. Then a selection of sequences from the recent Geoffrey Round International Competition were shown (with the Authors’ permission). This proved to be very inspirational, especially for the newcomers and some interesting discussions into what makes a good AV took place.
After lunch Marion Waine showed how she had made ‘It’s All Down to The Packaging’, with particular emphasis on choosing appropriate images.
This was followed by another selection from the Geoffrey Round with further discussions, particularly regarding humour in AV.
The day ended with ‘any questions?’ and a summary of ‘what we’d learnt’ during the day, one of which was the importance of a good ending…….!

GEOFFREY ROUND FESTIVAL AV
5 & 6 April 2008 by Jean-Pierre Simon
When Peter Coles contacted me in 2007 to become a member of the Geoffrey Round Digital Festival jury, I felt very honoured by this request, but at the same time slightly embarrassed, for I have some difficulties mastering the English language. In spite of this apprehension, I accepted Peter’s proposal, expressing the wish to be escorted by my wife, who has been sharing with me over the past 30 years, a strong interest for AV expression. We were warmly welcomed at Leeds-Bradford airport by Eddie Spence, who was an excellent guide all through our stay and introduced us to the Leeds Victorian style and other attracting features of the region. We were accomodated in a very pleasant hotel just outside of Leeds, where we had the pleasure to meet our Dutch polyglot friend Willem Van den Berg.
The festival took place ten miles away, in Bradford at The National Media Museum, a large modern and functional building.
Although the museum is quite large, the size of the projection room which was booked for us was quite modest, comparable to a classroom where the screen had replaced the blackboard. This was however sufficient, as the audience was composed of the authors and a few friends, i.e. approximately 50 persons.Though it was small, the audience paid a lot of attention and was very receptive over the two days of projection. The festival gathered 64 sequences, mainly from Britain (70%). Nineteen sequences from various European countries completed the programme (
