One of the best parts of the Independent Film Festival of Boston are the great Q&A’s that follow the film, last year featured the great Kevin Clash in an amazing Q&A for “Being Elmo.” We’re going to try to keep you guys in the know for who will be attending the screenings of their films …
Every now and then, an amazingly creative project gets posted on the web that really impresses. This is one of those cases. Artist Jeff Desom created a visual installation using Alfred Hitchcocks “REAR WINDOW,” and stitched all the different shots together to create one complete panoramic time lapse of the entire film.
