AV News 191 - February 2013
One prize appeared in a huge box
which burst open and in a shower
of silver confetti there appeared a
glamorous fairy in the form of
Rachel Herman, Secretary of the
club! I may add that the penalty for
receiving a prize was that every
winner went home with confetti in
their hair - their pockets - their
shoes! Whatever would wives and
partners think!!
The Saturday evening was
given
over
to
the
Gala
performance and the AV'ers
present were joined by probably
150 members of the general
public. The cinema was full! How good to see such local support.
Apart from seeing the winning sequences again we were treated to a
presentation by Italian diaporamist Alessandro Benedetti whose good lady
Grazia Gamba was on the jury. This was followed by a showing, arranged by
Lorenzo de Francesco the Director of Audiovisual Services for FIAP, of a
number of French language sequences from the FIAP International AV
Collection. Other members of the jury were Vincent Martin and Emmanuelle
Bas, all the jury members are diaporamists. Having served on the jury at
Epinal 2 months ago I sympathised with their task!
