The Buffalo International Film Festival 2009 kicks off this Friday, October 9th.  Artvoice and BIFF will be giving out tickets throughout the month-long festival. We’ve got a pair of tickets for each event, and in addition we’ll have some extras for opening night featuring Charlie Chaplin’s Lost Outtakes and for the Saturday October 17th Ray Bradbury It Came From Outer Space matinee.

For more information and to register for your chance to win, visit our BIFF page.  Winners will be selected at random – we’ll notify you via e-mail and have your tickets waiting at will-call.  Registering once makes you eligible to win a pair of tickets to any of the BIFF’s events.  Good luck!

Visit the BIFF2009 website to see the entire schedule of events.

Buffalo, where’s the love? Queen City, Nickel City, City of Good Neighbors — the fact of the matter is, we have a lot to offer, and it’s your turn to show your fellow Buffalonians just how much you love Buffalo. Send your concept videos to Artvoice, and the best videos will be produced with professional audio/video equipment by the Artvoice Web Team, with you in the director’s chair! Your video can be about anything you love about Buffalo and the surrounding area. Because you know what? Buffalo, we love you.

Create a two minute (or shorter) video about Buffalo. It can be about anything — your favorite hang out, your favorite people, or perhaps Buffalo’s architecture really catches your eye. There are no restrictions on the type of video you may create — narrative, music video, storyline, documentary, anything at all. Upload your video to youtube.com and let us know about it at artvoice.com/videocontest.
