Forum is a live, magazine-style program that starts its eleventh
year on People TV beginning
September 9, 2003. It is hosted by
co-producers Aron Siegel and Matt Ceccato. Aron conceived the show and has been its
producer and co-host since 1992. He has
also worked behind the cameras with feature film directors and cinematographers
(including Bill Pope of The Matrix) on several productions in the
Southeast. Matt is an independent film
critic and author of the Internet Atlanta Movie Theater Guide www.amtg.info.
He has been actively reviewing the current movie-going conditions in the
Atlanta area for the past three years. No kernel of popcorn, no out of
focus projector, no dirty restroom is safe from Matt's keen eye for
detail. Matt has also worked with the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company
as a performer. Additionally, Matt is a
contributing writer to The GMS Legion, Georgia's fastest growing small press
comic.
Film Forum critically reviews movies
currently showing at theaters and recently released home video/pay-per-view
titles. Each 30-minute program also
features either a guest from the Georgia/Southeast film industry or a notable
film personality, director, writer or producer.
The
show encourages audience participation by allowing viewers the opportunity to
speak directly to the hosts and guests via call-in.
Segments
also include commentary focusing on "sleeper" or independent movies,
trivia, where viewers are able to answer questions posed by the hosts, and
state of the film industry discussions.
Viewers can also receive complimentary movie passes by sending in
self-addressed, stamped envelopes.
Film Forum is originally broadcast LIVE
every Tuesday evening at 8:00 PM on Metro Atlanta's Comcast Channel 24 and
replayed every Thursday at 2:00 PM and Saturday at varying times. The show is broadcast on Comcast Broadband (Channel
25) in DeKalb County and Decatur every Tuesday at 7:00 PM. Finally, the show is shown repeatedly during
the week on the Georgia Tech and Georgia State closed circuit cable systems and
is also broadcast on Channel 22 on Fridays at 11:30 am on the metro Atlanta UHF
dial.
