From IMDB: Oscar winner Tilda Swinton has become so disillusioned with celebrity-packed film festivals, she has set up her own which promises to be glamour-free. The Michael Clayton actress recently spoke of her shock at the amount of free products handed out to stars at red carpet events, and has vowed to create a new event which focuses solely on movies.
The actress, along with celebrated director Joel Coen, has founded The Ballerina Ballroom Cinema of Dreams festival in her hometown of Nairn in north east Scotland. The event will run between 15 and 23 August and show three films a day. Entry to the festival costs $6 (GBP3) or a tray of homemade cakes, and guests will be seated on bean bags.
Kendall, book our tickets! I'll bake the tray of homemade cakes. I'm thinking we should have our own festival: of podcasts! It'll be called the "Busheltown Internet Laundrette of Idea-cakes Festival" and will be held wherever they had Bonnaroo this year. Admission will be $12 (we don't have Tilda Swinton money) or three dozen cookies, consisting of at least three different flavors, none of which may contain raisins. Raisins suck! And you have to bring one can of food for the needy (no pumpkin paste or potted meats) and one bottle of liquor (for the hosts).
We will listen to 3 podcasts a day (Rotating between "This American Life," "The News From Lake Wobegon," and "Cliff and Kendall: Coast to Coast") and the rest of the time we will eat cookies. Oh, and drink. Heavily.
