Saratoga New York Film Festival

The Saratoga Film Festival is long overdue.

Saratoga Springs was the Capital of organized gaming for 100 years prior to 1953. Legal Gaming in Casino's is back and as always, The Saratoga Race Track, operated by NYRA is the oldest race meet in the USA and in August, Racing is Saratoga. The Saratoga Gaming and Raceway is below the main flat track by one mile. Harness racing is going 6 nites a week with the Casino opened 7 days a week. The Saratoga Film Festival operated by Famous Ex-American Nite Club Owner and former close associate of Meyer Lansky, Mike Craft Sr, will be fabulous. All American news services have been notified with Canoe.com of Canada and Gannett already on board. The Price of the Film Festival is $50.00 per entry with no special price for long or short versions of a film. All music Video's are also the same price. Hip-Hop Video's and Country & Western Rock are all the rage in the US, and are welcome. Student Films are welcome but will be charged the same price as commercial entrants. We support Student entries BUT they must be also equal to all the rest. The Student entries will have their own Judges.

All foreigh entries must have sub-titles if not in English. Every nation on Earth is Welcome. We are very interested in the new and the old ways of Filming! In the emerging nations we find new abilities and we find, as always, new abilities in Europe and Russia. American Film Makers are going to be shown right along with all other nations. There will be no special favorites because this is an American Film Festival. Mr. Craft lived in 3 countries and favors fairness to all film makers. In the Music Competition, the video's will be judged by a panel of Radio Personalities and the Films will be judged by movie critics who have been published, and are currently under contract to a news service. Paris Hilton and Michael Cassidy are being asked to be the Queen and King of the Festival. We all hope they are available. Paris will be guest of Honor at Disco Nite At the Track, hosted by Mike Craft Sr. and Family. The Saratoga Polo Club will also hold a Tribute Nite for all foreign actors and actresses attending. This Festival is in the middle of a One (1) Million person visiting patron resort town. It has more Disco's than Sundance and Tribecca together. Broadway in Saratoga , New York is alive 7 nites a week. All movies are indivdually priced at 9.50 (nine dollars & 50 cents per venue). The Best entrance price in the United States. Sponsor Tables and Commercial Tables are $500.00 for the week. Thanks
