May 8 2008 Cracking Latvia
RUBBERHEART has been invited to screen at our 13th international festival as part of the 2ANNAS INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION. Or as it is sometimes known 2ANNASISFFIC. The festival takes place in Riga, Latvia, which we have heard is like the Montreal of the Baltic region. The festival takes place from May 27 - June 1, 2008.

Here is some interesting information about Latvia:
• Riga has the largest airport in the Baltic states.
• Latvia joined the European Union in 2004.
• Since 1767 the population has grown from 19,500 to 722,485 in 2007

April 3 2008 ROMANCE...in Ohio
ROMANCE is the title of the program we will be screening in at the 35th annual ATHENS INTERNATIONAL FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL. Ruth Bradley, festival director writes of the program, "It's a strong and basically funny, sweet show." Sounds promising to me. What more can you want at a film festival?

The screening will take place Monday | April 28 | 2008 | 9p.m.| in Athens.

March 8 2008 Check This Out and Get Out The Vote!
Hey Rubber Faithful, wanted to announce the screening dates for our two upcoming March 15th festivals. They are as follows: Washington D.C. Independent Film Festivals at 10 pm at the Jack Morton Auditorium, Media and Public Affairs Building. And for the East Lansing Film Festival at 4pm at the Wells Hall Theater D - Hitchcock. We are predicting major attendance at both events. The film began shooting a year to the day (well the day after) these festivals and we could not be more proud of the year that we have had (unless we had gotten into Berlin).

Also, both D.C. and East Lansing have great websites, and on them a page about RUBBERHEART. Should you feel the pull of the below graphics, pay our page a visit and vote for us. A high rating would be a lovely rubber cherry ontop of what is already a great big slice of rubber pie. All the best to you. And we hope to see you on the 15th at the screenings!

February 8 2008 Born of Lansing, Rubberheart Goes Back To The Womb
RUBBERHEART has been accepted into the 11th EAST LANSING FILM FESTIVAL, March 12 - 20, 2008. Which is tremendously exciting not only in that it is Michigan's largest film festival, playing over 100 films, but that it is where Brian Crano (writer/director) was born. The festival also has great style and a really nicely designed website: www.elff.com which you should totally check out. No news yet as to which program we will screen in, but keep checking in for updates!

November 27 2007 London Calling, Rubber Answering The Call

Stellar news friends! Days after highly successful screenings in Oslo, RUBBERHEART has been invited to screen as part of the fifth annual LONDON SHORT FILM FESTIVAL, January 4th - 13th. The festival takes place right in the heart of London, screening films at the Curzon Soho Theatre, as well as at the Institute For Contemporary Arts.

RUBBERHEART has been programmed into a selection called FUCKED UP LOVE, which will screen 4 p.m. Saturday, January 5th, 2008 at the Institute For Contemporary Arts. We will be screening our fresh minted Pal Digi-Beta print of the film, which looks glorious and rich. Quyen Tran's brilliant cinematography looks so lush and alive on this print. Well worth a watch.

So please, tell your friends, tell your family, but most of all tell yourself to come down and join us. As it's London, there will be a huge party to follow, with many members of the cast and crew in attendance. No, not the dolls.

November 9 2007 Oslo International Film Festival Update Omnibus

We are pleased to update you with some exciting news about RUBBERHEART's upcoming screeenings at the 17th annual Oslo International Film Festival.

RUBBERHEART has been chosen to screen as the opening film for Harmony Korine's feature MISTER LONELY (starring Diego Luna, Samantha Morton, and Werner Herzog). We are thrilled to be screening with Mr. Korine's film, as we here at Rubberheart are huge fans of his films Kids and Gummo.

RUBBERHEART will also screen in the International Shorts screenings. We have been informed that RUBBERHEART is one of only seven short films showing in the festival. In amazing company with Wes Anderson's HOTEL CHEVALIER, Erik Rosenlund's LOOKING GLASS, Elisa Miller's Cannes Golden Palm winner VER LLOVER, Laila El-Haddad/Saeed Taji Farouky's TUNNEL TRADE, Jean-Gabriel Periot's multiple award winner EVEN IF SHE HAD BEEN A CRIMINAL, and Jean-Gabriel Periot's 200,000 PHANTOMS.

Also the line up of features at the festival is pretty staggering. Including Brian's hero Todd Hayne's I'M NOT THERE, Team Rubberheart's good friend Eddie Redmayne's film SAVAGE GRACE, Sean Penn's INTO THE WILD, Wes Anderson's DARJEELING LIMITED, Jason Reitman's JUNO, and master Ang Lee's LUST, CAUTION.

Team Rubberheart could not be more excited to be participating in this festival and being allowed the chance to explore Oslo and Norway beyond. Hope you can join us in Norway. And if not, keep checking this space, for all the updates.
