Pat Kelman’s film Encounters: Speed Dating Can Hurt was released on DVD in the US on November 24th.

It sold out in its first week on Amazon, but is now back in stock.

Here is a review I found on Your Movie Reviews.com:

“The performances were terrific, with the relaxed realism that made the film all the more dramatic. A beautifully observed slice of life that will resonate with everyone and will tug at the heart strings. Funny (actually hilarious in places) and at the same time guaranteed to make you shed a tear as well. Bizarre and perfect in many ways. I recommend you see it soon.”

Thanks you, Sherry McWilliams!!

From www.flickernow.com:

The 2005 Cornwall Film Festival was a huge success.

Thank you to all the filmmakers, the guests who took workshops, discussions, one-to-ones, masterclasses and Q&A sessions, the Festival Board, sponsors and all participants.

The 2005 Cornwall Film Festival Prize Winners are:

Delabole Slate Best Film of the Festival – Pat Kelman with his bittersweet feature called ENCOUNTERS. Pat was very emotional when George and Thesselie Hamilton of Delabole Slate handed him his award. Having just returned to Cornwall after 10 years of working away from home he was very heartened and moved by the result and vowed to keep it on his desk.
Delabole Slate Best Student Film of the Festival. For the second year running a University College Falmouth student has won the prize – Russell Hancock triumphed with SUNDAY BENCH.

“We’ve had such an amazing response during the Festival, I’m so pleased that we are now attracting talent scouts from all over Britain who want to see what we’ve got in Cornwall. I believe that the Festival has been a great inspiration as I am receiving many enthusiastic calls and emails and we definitely got more people engaged in the Festival than in previous years.” Lucy Frears – Festival Director 2005.
