‘The 13th‘ at the London Greek Film Festival
What a difference a day makes. From Tuesday night’s thunder, lightning, rain and hail, we have Wednesday’s bright sunshine, calm seas and not-so-chill air. It’s so mild today that Jack is up in his favourite place, on the roof, soaking up the sunshine, I was able to put the washing out in the courtyard, free from hail, and get a couple of shots from the roof. Neil went to his aerobics class yesterday and got some shots of the new road/jetty down at Petalo on his way back and I’ll get some of those up for you ere long. I am rushing a bit today as I have someone coming to sing at one and it’s now just gone 12 and I like to get the blog out of the way before lunch.
The Blue Star came and went on Wednesday morning (at last I assume it did, it was very early) and we also had a stray catamaran come in on its way up the line of Dodecanese. I am not sure if that was a one-off, or if it’s going to be a regular thing but it is another link to Rhodes and supplies, airports, doctors, hospitals etc.
Oh, I have some film news. ‘The 13th‘ is to be entered into the London Greek Film Festival which takes place later this year. The company as still looking for a distributor to take it on and market it and this may help generate some publicity. Whether it will win anything or even be shortlisted is another matter of course, but who knows where it may lead. Last year (or was it the year before?) I entered the script of ‘Shocking The Donkeys’ and that was shortlisted under the Best Screenplay category, though it didn’t win. But who knows, hopefully there will be some interest and it will, if nothing else, get Symi shown to attendees who are all going to be interested in Greek film and films filmed in Greece. Perhaps someone will love the location so much there will be more films made here in the future, bringing more publicity and trade. We can hope.
So, dashing through my morning to lunch and singing, here are today’s photos, taken yesterday and a here endeth today’s quick blog.
