Introduction/Definition/etc
Prince Georges County, MaryLand
Memorial Library System
(hope i got that right, acronym
with a .info? Not .com .gov .org)
Heritage Film Festival (shortened)
with movie shorts, going three days?
Have to send a web form request
and they send/email you the password,
to get into 3 Vimeo "sessions"?
on their website...
Included emailed instructions say
not for sharing on Social Media/
public websites,
but email to friends, OK
(i'm not really your friend,
sign up directly please,
or ask classmates, etc)...
It's Virtual (online) and Free
but suggested to donate to
local food pantries/bank(s)...
Body
Original Text
Signed up from an email
list i've been on
for many years now
after
SomeBikeCoopYouthProgramLearning
which is likely local,
not sure i wrote
up MtRBC Bike Coop here...
I sampled, learned, went to
and tried my first Conference Bike
down Route1 to a Farmer's Market
and then didn't go back as much,
just passing along / past for
NorthByNorthEast2018
so been a while...
But getting community emails,
as the list went from YahooGroups
(discontinuing that service) to
Groups.io or similar...
Anyways many Film/Video shorts,
and I'm not likely to get the names right...
I did many screen shots on the
BLUG90UnLocked2020
but with copyright, etc
I'm not sharing those,
and timing makes
it difficult to get the right screen,
intro paused 5 seconds,
drawn/ painted/ animated
some great works...
Anyways some
heavy stuff
content wise...
Spoiling
A family father of 3
in Nigeria
going out to look for
his son Patrick
who's been out for days,
unlike him and what
he finds, a beggar wearing
a shirt (was his sons?
but never stated)
and doesn't...
Single Mom with two sons,
Called up in the Vietnam
Draft 9/14 birthday,
and first draft pick (01?)
not basketball/ Sports College
like his brother, coming back
to Home, Girl Friend
now pregnant,
old friend now
Dealing in a playground,
park, adjusting to life
coming back
from a 2 year tour...
Animated
healers
coming by boat
to Hawaii
healing powers
stored over a month/moon
into 4 Stones
and many hundreds of years
later, heritage uncovered
but somehow forgotten as well...
Black Lives Matter
Nurse mother with
two daughters, and
a younger son,
school officials,
practicing music,
Parallel story with
a vet PTSD janitor/
school custodian,
and his wife
(some missing history here
reenactment?)
with response to
Grey, protests
and other violence...
TV ad of racism
call a number for
advice, stats,
and i've already forgotten
it, sarcasm included...
Attitude right back at ya...
an old school graphics
by Asian immigrant with
Tom Dick and Harry
getting citizenship
An Arabic?/English titled
Sheep _
woman loading animals/
sheep/ driving out
being abused,
her niece, to rescue,
with perhaps typical
results...
Jack Nicholson (sp?)
and other clips of things
that are said to be happening,
some mental health/ med/
abuse, and other horror
issues there, likely triggering,
as might a lot of this...
Heavy set older guys
around a residential kitchen
making cased meat (pork),
cutting, grinding, seasoning,
casing, storing, and final
product(s), what would be
Salami if Italian,
but likely something else
i'd not heard of, but the
process reminds me of
processing deer,
though not usually sausaged/
cased...
Synthetic casing, beef/pork smells bad,
meat weighed 50 pounds,
to get the amount
of seasoning(s) right
(Secret Family Recipe Blurred)
Rain, a meditation
visual and auditory
of Rain, photographer,
videographers and
others may like this
technique and artistry...
And likely some others
i'm forgetting...
Modified Text
What's Missing?
A Table of Contents
Index
What Can Be Found?
Different ways of seeing things,
strong emotions evoked,
from even rather plain
situations, some may be
more common in immigrant
and more diverse communities...
What Can Not Be Found?
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Noob
New to me,
missed another one
going out for
BLUG90UnLocked2020
but flat and walked
came back hours later
exhausted, and forgot
to even cancel for
the discussion,
many spaces when signed
up, but not remembered later...
Kids
Not likely for young kids,
though some young people
made some of the films/shorts...
Dys/Dis
May be difficult to follow
without some
ClosedCaptioning,
Y(M|Km)MV
General Public
IDK, times are a changing
and some aren't,
might be some different views
you might not have seen,
check it out?
Assumptions
Learning is good
Got to be in a certain
mood/ mindset for some
of this though...
IMNSHO
Time Limits
Started FriDay,
but available til (including?)
MonDay?
Library may be open today,
time to signup and get a
password/ code to view
the 3 sessions from the web...
YMMV
good luck...

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Interesting,
thought provoking,
evocative, and other artsy
fartsy words i'm not really
qualified to use...
Some technical things,
not a lot of Closed Captioning,
some titling, but a Table of Contents,
Index, Program instead of shorts,
might help in even reviewing
them for here...
Nice that it's free,
suggested donation to
local Food Pantry /Bank
I hope writing it up helps
some for others to be aware
not a lot of this in NoVA
afaict... MaryLand is Different,
PG even more perhaps,
despite life like Route1
not that different all the
way, experienced
along Mount Vernon
and Gratitude/ Thanks
during pre holiday angst
time...
Vimeo used, might be better
viewing experience in that app,
IDK, not tried, but hit something
trying to go back, and all the
way out, trying to get back
to where i missed, so used to
YouTube back 10 second,
maybe another viewer/ app
has that, instead of the browser
interface, will see...
And a first big holiday
season without my mother...
So maybe a distraction from that
personally... The lull with holiday
prep others are doing,
and i'm not...
(How long does a 9-10 lb
frozen bird take to thaw
a week? and other dumb
cooking questions i used
to call my mother about...
and one of the few videos
ive done of mom making the
holiday bird, gave to her,
wasn't allowed to give
to other parts of the family
(just for me... but off site
backup options too),
and didn't/ can't find a copy )
Watched more,
stopped for a while on
CoronaVirus2020
interview questions bothered me,
seemed to go long
Other parts, not sure what
the video was from, and disjointed
random stuff, maybe the kids
filming, wanting to put their stuff up,
not excluding, but also not really
fitting in, a sign of the times, i guess...
An female geek interview
with an orb, and got into her
medical records, a test
on like iPads, while looking at
another tablet,
date drug like flash backs,
including drinking provided water,
a weapon, and woke to an empty
room except the orb moved,
and a folder, seems like she took
a nap/time lapse and went down,
programmed likely, she had written
a game, where the deals are made
and testing, privacy concerns, etc.
A guy trying to be a director got
an angel/ devil like advisor,
on deadline in the late night,
woke to someone hammering
his alarm clock, follows him,
appears in his car
after dropping him off,
trying to make him a great director,
girl he likes in the hall, nope
distracting, or something,
and lots of invisible friend
type problems,
Harvey The 6Foot
Invisible Rabbit (biker bunny?)
well dress and HollyWood,
leading man type stuff,
in an win an Oscar type suit,
dress for success, stuff
v. student, backpack:
water went where laptop was
btw...
Story line writing and directing,
some humor too...
Asian and African ancestry
woman tracing her own roots?
Panama Canal aunt working
there to fill
from ShangHai _? to Harlem?
and a lynching in the family tree,
other stuff, made a million
teaching dance/ acting or something,
performance based, moved
up North escaping Jim Crow,
kind off...
Other good, but other troubling
basically a snuff film,
old aunt, adult child/ kid black
woman white, in a hospital bed
with pulse monitor
he gives her liquor from a flask
and turns out to be drugged,
killing her, describes the
abuse she filmed him having
shag carpet, uncle, etc,
and sick stuff...
So some very disturbing stuff,
art may make one try to have a
message, strong and some rather
mean like an internship
stealing Mean Girls type
basket ball boy likes you
here's his phone number,
only to be them tricking her,
to get even for stealing the
internship, etc...
Freddy Gray and associated
BLM less relatable (sp?) for me,
others may differ...
So many small videos/ film
that keeping track of them
to even review/ write up/
give back, spoiling as it may
be is troublesome... Lots of
credits and lost a couple of
MaryLand residents to
CoronaVirus19
memorialized near the end,
a doctor, and a grocery store
woman, iirc... With major media
coverage links given, but not saved
here... See the source...
And Curator doing pot,
visiting the artist, and other
acting like brothers,
Mario Gaming or not,
so Art is Hell, and how to
get out, Curator as supplier,
and in the number 2 hole
art studio, Philladelphia
competition for MaryLand
not sure how it got in,
maybe schools/ classes closed
and can enter competition
elsewhere, international festival,
open doors/ entry, and other
criteria, i have no idea...
BikeFilmFestival was online
for the first time this year,
i didn't do it, money
despite some pay as you
can and likely busy with
other things limited time frame,
but shared the link to others
that may have missed the
3 years near here in WarshingtonDC
way back when...
Green Festival
Indie Festival
and other festivals
may have movie film components
and choosing Vimeo,
while PGCountyLibrarySystem
hosted bandwidth,
something with Closed Captioning
like Google YouTube (despite
my issues with them)
may make it more accessible
to more disabled, imnsho...
Especially trying to get names
right, what did they say,
singing vs, a Protest Poem
U MaryLand Eastern Shore
on 13
and High School football
champion ship plus
other stuff, yearbook stuff
for many, and resume building,
presented and showed in
Festival builds resumes
but keeping it open, limited
showing times, etc gimmicky
imnsho...
Sure bandwidth, but trickles
down to little viewing
until next semester,
have more time post
holiday, to view,
what was that,
referring to,
delays in hearing about it,
etc all reasonable reasons
for adjusting and opening
further...
And the Winner Is
Thanksgiving.mp4
(the other Kids Table,
of unknown/questionable pedigree)
a non entry but from the
same source i heard of
would be interesting to find it's
pedigree, as a very small file
for the time it plays,
animation and other techniques
interesting, funny, and Heritage
related, afaict...
We're all mutts, even purebred,
MayFlower, DAR/SAR, etc...
Discussion
A place for feedback on the page presented
Film discussion is part of this,
not sure when/ how that works
online, can view, but guessing
some feedback is wanted too,
meet the director/ actresses/
actors/ etc...
But not likely to do that personally,
just write it up, maybe they will
see it...
Did you get in?
How?
Crashed?
Adult let you in?
Or snuck in another way?
Traumatic?
Other Problems?
Caught trying to get access to adult
level stuff?
Is that why it's passworded?
Like nudes some content you might
be accessing that really needs
PG-13+ ratings?
So if have an email, say parentally
monitored then therefore old enough
to view questionable content?
Some made by kids (likely High School
or Above), and some might not be
understandable even to adults,
so Restrictions and MPAA Rating
content? Besides accessibility
(Closed Captions) on publicly
promoted (and funded?) content?
What did you like?
What didn't you like?
Why?
What couldn't you even watch/
Finish?
Would next year's be better?
How?
What did you do to make it that way?
