48Hour Films: Don't Miss the Screenings
A Psychic psychic named Jason or Judy Giordano, a cardboard box, and the line, "Please forgive me. It won't happen again." That's what the teams participating in this year's 48Hour Film Project were given to work with on Friday night, along with individual teams pulling their film genre. Our own Joseph DiDomizio's team pulled drama, and sent a quick note to say he and his team, The Automatic Buffalo, were having a blast.
All films must be completed and submitted tonight by 7:30 PM. Last year's character was a scientist, the prop was a keychain, and the line was, "If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it." (Click here for a list of 2007's teams and awards.)
Filming happens fast for the 48Hour Film Project, but so do the screenings. Last year, a lot of our readers missed them, so be sure to be at the Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre on Wednesday, August 20th and Thursday, August 21st at 7PM for the initial screenings. Better yet, you get to vote for your favorite film!
If you can't make those dates, the short films will be run again in an awards screening on Wednesday, August 27th at the MAFAC, and results from the audience voting, as well as the winners of local awards, and the overall winning film, will be announced.

They had been building and modifying their boats throughout the week, trying a few different design and construction plans. Now they were ready to race them across a tub of water, using a fan to power them across. After deal … - Today, 8:00am

Griffis III Latest Sculpture - A Polarizing Piece
Larry Griffis III is a well-known Buffalo figure whose experience with steel is not only his passion, but his birthright.

What started with the father has continued with the son. Griffis III’s work is starting to appear in spots in Buffalo and now, to see one of his works, you need look no further than Forest Lawn Chapel.

So Long Elmwood, Hello University District
Ever since the Falafel Bar opened on Allen Street, it was only a matter of time before the Elmwood location was no longer for this world. I spoke to owner, Oded Rauvenpoor, who told me that the decision to close came when he was at a crossroads. He found himself happy with his Allentown diggs, but began eying another part of the city for the Elmwood restaurant. In the end, Oded decided that he wanted to try his hand in the University District (3476 Main Street). I guess there was … - Yesterday, 8:41pm
