A Look Back With Dwight Edwards of The Filmcake: The 2004 Festival

April 28th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in The Guest Spot

In the Guest Spot today, we have Dwight Edwards, the man behind the very cool Okie-film website The Filmcake. Dwight has attended deadCENTER every year since 2002 (we’re willing to forget the two years he was absent, as he was there in spirit), and even contributed to our live blog of the festival in 2009. Every Wednesday until the festival, we’ll feature his look back at the deadCENTER film festivals of old, starting with 2002. This week: 2004

I may have missed the 2004 festival, but I don’t plan on missing another. I found three short films that screened at the 2004 festival that I figured I would take a look at now. All three were nice surprises and I would highly recommend them all. That I might never have seen any of these three if I hadn’t been doing this blog feature certainly makes it all worthwhile. This week: two documentaries (Banned in Oklahoma and Farmingville) and a short (Flip).

When deadCENTER moved from the lovely confines of UCO to downtown Oklahoma City, I somehow missed out in the transition. Now it seems almost inconceivable that I would miss two festivals in a row. I returned in 2005 and have attended every one since. But just because I missed out then, doesn’t mean I still can’t go back and revisit a couple of films from that 2003 festival. For this week, I watched two short films from that festival–Five F***ing Fables and Nice Night for Murder.

This year I’ll attend my seventh deadCENTER Film Festival. Once again, I await that week in June with boundless anticipation. Familiar faces, great and not-so-great movies, flowing beer. What more does one need? The 10th Anniversary edition of the festival arrives in just eight weeks. In anticipation of that, I’m going to go back and rewatch some of the festival movies that I remember fondly, remember quite UN-fondly, or just flat out missed the first time around. I’ll start with the 2002 festival and work my way up weekly to this year’s festival. Here we go!
