LATEST ANNOUNCEMENT 28TH FEB 2009
CALL FOR ENTRIES to KINOFILM’S New Short Film Expose in Manchester.
SHORT FILMS wanted now.
KINOFILM is relaunching its film nights in Manchester to take place the second Wednesday of every month, the first being on Wednesday 11th March 2008 (7.30 for 8.00pm start), at the Green Room, Whitworth Street. Manchester
Primarily, we are looking for short films from local filmmakers and those based anywhere in the North of England. The emphasis is on Quality Production and Original Ideas, films that push the boundaries of traditional filmmaking. Films can be short fiction, animation, experimental or documentary. Films must be no more than 20 minutes and made in the last twelve months (the more recent the better).
We will also consider shorts from other parts of the UK - each month we will include the best short of the UK-wide entries.
The emphasis on the night is to encourage debate and feedback for films being made in the North and North West, and how our region’s filmmakers rate to those in other parts of the UK. Each event will also screen a European Short film so that we can view films in the context of UK-wide and European Short Film Production.
We are also looking for INDEPENDENT FEATURES for occasional feature film screenings we are planning. Your feature can be a first or second feature and we are particularly interested to hear from those that have made the transition from Short Film to Feature. Again, quality, originality, innovation and cutting edge filmmaking are the principle qualities we are looking for.
