As for now, there is not a discount for tickets for UFS members. We’ll be working on that in the future.

Thanks. We’re glad you’re happy too. “In the Loop” is not scheduled right now. But there’s always hope. We’ll pass along the suggestion to Regal Cinemas.

We will gladly accept any movie suggestions and pass them along to Regal. It is pretty much in their hands after that. The best you can do is keep your fingers crossed. They have booked some really good films though for the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Robert, we would love to see critically awarded films like those in the Upstate, too — that’s why we work hard to make the Upstate Indie Film Festival happen twice each year. But the process is not entirely in our control: we can only submit suggestions to Regal Cinemas, then they see what films they can get. The rules on film distribution are complex and the company is not able to obtain just any film they want, but Regal is supportive of our mission for this festival and tries their best to accommodate our requests. Feel free to make suggestions on good indie films; our board will consider them carefully!

I really hope you will pick some critically awarded films that have skipped the upstate market, ie. MILK, Choke, and Doubt. Other than that, I am very excited! I saw Paris J’Taime at your festival last year and it was fantastic.

I have a suggestion for films…which I think will make a lot of people happy. Recently with the release of Twilight and the introduction of Robert Pattinson, I think a lot of people would like to see some of his films which happen to mostly be indie films.

Little Ashes is one of them which is set to be released early 2009, about Salvador Dalí…a website promoting the film –

or also his other smalle indie film – How to Be.

Kristen Stewart, the other lead, has two indie films as well – The Cake Eaters and The Yellow Handkerchief – http://www.theyellowhandkerchief.com/

I hope some of the board will consider these films, they all look amazing to me. Especially Little Ashes.

Comment on INDIE FILM LOVERS HAVE A LOT TO CELEBRATE THIS DECEMBER IN THE UPSTATE by douggreenlaw

Thanks for your enthusiasm for Greenville’s French Film Festival! We’re sorry you missed the festival; it was a great success, with almost every screening SOLD OUT.

This was the second festival, and based in the enthusiastic response we’ve had, it is sure to be an annual event. Please plan to join us in late December 2008 (the last weekend of the year) for the Third French Film Festival, sponsored by the Upstate Film Society and the Peace Center.

There – that gives you nearly 11 months to plan your New Year in Greenville! Don’t say you didn’t get enough notice in 2008!

Both programs sound great! We enjoyed last year’s French Festival.

This year, we visited Greenville just after Thanksgiving Day attended MY FAIR LADY and tried to obtain info regarding the 2007 French Fest. …none was available- maybe next year the information could come out sooner.We would have loved to come back to Greenville for the New Year.

We’ll be off to NYC for our film fix…

Please let us know sooner…some of us are from farther afield…thanks…
