Silver Wave Film Festival Ends with an Explosion with Awards
Galore & Action Packed Bon Cop Bad Cop!
Fredericton, NB - The 6th Annual Silver Wave Film Festival,

Brunswick Shorts II and The Silver Wave Awards and the fun and
action packed Bon Cop, Bad Cop. 57 Films from New Brunswick, the
Atlantic region, across Canada and around the world graced Silver
Wave movie screens, and close to 40 filmmakers came to present
their films and mix and mingle with New Brunswick filmmakers,
sponsors and supporters.
"We really feel that we have a
special magical formula with the organization and implementation of
the Festival each year", reflects Tony Merzetti, NBFC
Executive Director. "The festival is an amazing community
event and we received a huge response this year to the programming
and events which is very satisfying for the festival team, board of
directors and volunteers who put their heart and soul into the
event all year long."
The cornerstone of the festival, NB Shorts I & II, garnered
large audiences and the awards which were at The Playhouse for the
first time this year, were an exciting highlight for the filmmakers
and audience after the shorts.

"THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT" FEATURED IN HERE!
Check for an article that NBFC member Jim Lavoie did on TDMI
(They Didn't Make It) featured in HERE. The article deals with the wrap of
the film and is set as a narrative between Jim and those who
would doubt that a no-budget feature film could be shot in
Fredericton with an all volunteer crew and cast of co-op members
and others.
Copies are available all around Fredericton and are
free. It is also available on line at www.herenb.com
As well, Jim has written a wrap up article for "inside The
North side News" which should be included with the Nov 18th
edition of the Daily Gleaner.

SPOTLIGHT!
On 2006 Silver Wave Filmmaker Guests
By Geneviève Godin
I'm just back from the Silver Wave Film Festival to my life in BANFF. My experience at the Silver Wave Festival was a really
good one for me. I am very glad to have also initiated some of my Fredericton friends
going to Silver Wave as well.
I can say that my body and my head are in Alberta, but my heart
is still in
Fredericton! That is why I hope to see you sooner than later. For
now, I
would like to thank you very much for everything.
 I would particularly like to thank Cat Leblanc, Tony Merzetti, John
Christenson, Gia Milani, Tony Whalen, Mike Cowie and Brigitte Noel for your
fantastic personalities and attitudes that made me feel really good
about being a filmmaker guest at Silver Wave. You are the people I
talked to the most and had the most direct contact with and you
were all so friendly and helpful.
Here is a picture I took of the front of the Charlottte Street
Arts Centre, during the night of my film screening
(Dualité) in the French Program on November
9th. This was a really memorable moment for me.
I hope to see you all in the near future, Genevieve Godin, 2006
