"The Lake House."
"Terminator" would qualify. As would "Somewhere In Time". And MattInSTL has listed off something like 20 different ideas (so far) in a thread.
Point is, there are lots and lots of ideas. This may be the richest theme yet. If you're not sure whether your theme would qualify, keep digging. There's a long, long time to go before the deadline! Keep working it, keep thinking, keep digging deeper. Surprise us. :thumbsup:
"deja vu" was a nice little time integral film. as well as "next" which wasnt nearly as nice, but was certainly time based. and "Garfiled: a tale of two kitties" was likely the most atrocious film ive had the misfortune of seeing this decade ..but your kids will like it .. and cooincidentally , it was actually not time based.

you talking about that korean film? Il Mare?
I think he's referring to that Keanu Reeves/Sandra Bullock movie "The Lake House". But that could also be adapted from the Korean movie you mention because originality is completely unknown to Hollywood these days.

Reguarding the R rating.
Is slitting of the neck & stabbing okay? Sweeney Todd was an 18. British rating at least.
Edit - Also no 15-20 second trailers for your film? If its using footage thats not in the final cut of your film. Theres no chance on that this time right?
Double Edit - I loved NEXT & Deja Vou, was disapointed with the ending of next though.

Yes. See REKINDLED in my sig. It has both of those elements plus some nudity.
How would it be a trailer if it had no footage from the film?
Deja Vu is simply one of the finest films ever produced in the history of Cinema. Denzel was good but The Criminalist in particular was brilliant. :shocked:

You were in Deja Vu? Damn i'm gonna have to watch that again now. I practically peed on the person in front of me at the ending of the film. Was great. The start of it was eery, turned my stomache. Grand stuff.
Well, some kind of visual ..video advertisement of the film. Guess it wouldnt be a trailer. Think it would be fun though, but there was a discussion on it before I think.

Seems I dont know any of you people. Tsk tsk. How can you not like burning your ears for 2 hours sitting in a lovely seat in front of a giant television?
And at the very end of this post, i realised that it was probably a joke. Lovely. Still posting. =]
Edit - Aye thats true, cant we just stick to this fest 24/7?

yeah, i looked it up. The Lake House was a remake of Il Mare.
..it is very few and far between. i did appreciate in large part to it being very fresh and original that "no country for old men" took best picture this year. It was a very drastically different experience to see as comparerd to the same old junk that keeps coming around the carousel with oh ..wait.. whats this? ! a different actor playing the same basic role in the same basic film plot as the last 34 films in this genre to come out? ..WOW! its so fresh and new that i dont know what im going to do with myself!! what will they think of next!? maybe they could remake "the lord of the rings" trilogy but put it in the future and make frodo into a robot.. YESSSSS! they can call it "the lord of the springs: a completely original film that will blow your mind" ..ooh i can taste the oscars now!
TIME FEST rocks
TIME FEST rocks
Well all I can say about this fest is it's about time!

Tick tick. Sigh.
The theme of the next fest could be how to stop taking a bunch o low paying film gigs long enough to have some fun and enter one of these cool a&& DVX fests some time.
I just GOTTA do this fest though
.... to paraphrase Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner...
time... to try.
Anyone know if Jack Stanley is down on this action? I'd like to have a chance at the other prize is all I'm sayin... he can keep the red camera or whatever and I'll take the toaster. :beer:
(props and hey there Jack)

i want to enter this fest but i also have a final project in my film production class at school that might possibly get chosen to be entered in a school-wide festival if that were to happen would i be able to enter it in TIMEfest. to make it clearer i want to enter a film that i am going to make for class into this festival because this fest inspired the idea and if my teacher likes it he could select it to be in this end of the year festival we have at my school would i be able to enter both or just one? thanks in advance for the help.
It can be entered in the End of Year Fest at your school so long as it doesn't screen in that fest before June 16.
If it screens in the end of year fest at your school prior to that you can probably still enter it here as a non-competition film. A lot of people will still see it and you will get a lot of feedback, but you will not be eligible to win or receive prizes if that's the case.

You can do anything you want with your film, once DVXuser's TimeFest viewing is open.
If your school's festival/public screeneings is/are before viewing opens, then you wouldn't be eligable for DVXuser TimeFest prizes.
EDIT: JDS beat me to it.
