i was a bit disapointed in this festival, or at least the music video part.
i also wasn't able to see the regular films.
the ken ishi video was amazing and definitely my favorite, but the
h-gun/meat beat videos were pretty boring on their own. these are the
films that meat beat are using in their live performances. i would have
much rather seen their older "storm the studio" era videos on a big screen
instead.
the underworld videos didn't grab my interest at all.
the FSOL video would have been excellent if it lasted no more than 10
minutes. after that it was overload/overkill. it also didn't help that
the music for the FSOL video was turned up so high that it sounded like it
blew a speaker.
