The Projector with Teeth returns to 4 major London venues this January, with a new identity and a new name, celebrating 5 uncompromising years of short film and punk attitude.
After 4 years, the Halloween Short Film Festival now emerges as the London Short Film Festival, still proud to be the edgiest film festival in the UK, and bringing with it the best in new film and music across 10 days of screenings and multi-media mayhem. The cornerstone of the previous Festivals has always been imaginative and challenging programming, so for this year’s screenings, the Festival are pulling some special events out of the bag, alongside the best in new short films. We’re proud to have Vauxhall Motors back on board to support and sponsor the Festival, and also welcome new sponsors the UK Film Council plus media support from Shooting People.
Including 14 programmes of new short films, selected from an open submissions process, which this year has seen record entries; the 2008 festival includes everything from comedy to horror, to experimental to documentary.
Awards and prizes will be awarded by UK Film Council and the VX Auteur Theory, plus Time Out, the LUX, Fortean Times, Dead By Dawn, Shooting People, a teenage jury, Channel 4’s FourDocs and others.
The festival also offers filmmakers and industry participants Howling Feedback, an ongoing array of free industry events and networking at the Curzon Soho and ICA bars, supported by UK Film Council, Film London, Rushes Soho Shorts, and Shooting People.
This year’s live events, part of Halloween’s on-going commitment to bring strong live music themed film & visual events to our annual Festival include Soundtracks – Post-Rock vs. Found Footage, a night at the ICA to celebrate found-footage films! Award winning filmmakers Sarah Wood, Ben Rivers and Max Hattler use archive and found footage to create short films and visuals sets to screen tonight, to be accompanied by live music from three of the most experimental avant-garde outfits around, The Exploits of Elaine, Blood Stereo (along with a bunch of screaming ladyfriend guests) and Ladyscraper. The night will also include a selection of classic found footage work by People Like Us and Anne McGuire. The ICA bar will also offer StreamLounge, open access ‘YouTube’-style VJing software, open to everyone to take part in. (This event is supported by Animate Projects.)
Other music-oriented events include, Bristol Meth, a scene focused around The Cube independent cinema in Bristol - a night of live music and independent short film from David Hopkinson (who brings Mr Hopkinson’s Computer), Lady Lucy, Rozi Plain, and others.
Roxy Acoustica brings together a selection of live acts, including Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring, Monkey Don’t, and Roman from Bretton alongside showcase visuals from Prime Objective and BuzzardBuzzard.
Our opening night at the ICA will be comedy themed with live performance by Jarred Christmas (The Geek Show, Flight of the Conchords [radio 2]) and a series of short films starring The Mighty Boosh, Johnny Vegas, Martin Freeman, MacKenzie Crook and others, plus guest DJing from Bolt Action Five.
Filmmakers-in-bands is the theme of the festival’s final night awards ceremony at the newly re-opened Amersham Arms in New Cross, with live sets from short filmmakers who’s sideline in rockin’ guitar outfits fits our Festival ethos perfectly. Headline set comes from Economy Wolf alongside VJ Max Hattler, and see Ben Blaine, Greg Butler, and Joe Tunmer away from behind the camera and with their bands!
Filmmakers Focuses include a Q&A with Asif Kapadia (FAR NORTH, THE WARRIOR) who will be in conversation, after a screening of his earlier shorts and short films that he admires, as well as a preview of his new FAR NORTH feature; Filmmaker Jes Benstock will overview his own 10 year career from performance to animation to documentary to music video; SeaBuzzard give us an insight into working on music videos and documentary with The Mighty Boosh, Foals, The Noisettes and The Mystery Jets.
