The husband of a good friend of mine has his first film, "Minaret," featured in the Northwest Film Forum’s 9th Annual
Local Sightings Film Festival. Matthew Cibelli's 11 minute film is about a woman, an old man, and a "grim promise." It's filmed on location in Portland, Oregon. "Minaret" has already played at two other film festivals, and it's one of eight short films up for an award. I've seen "Minaret" on the small screen (i.e. computer laptop), and it looks good. As if that weren't enough, it
sounds good, too. It sounds like a real movie.
"Minaret" is screening on Wednesday Oct. 11, 2006, at 9:30pm. The film is part of the ‘Collected Stories’ shorts grouping. If you're local, come see "Minaret" on the big screen. Because Seattle is such a low-key city compared to Hollywood, tiaras and designer gowns are strictly optional. As someone once wrote in a guide-book, dressing up in Seattle means wearing the
clean pair of khakis.
