Looking for Women involved in street art/graffiti
leafy-nowhere says:
I’m studying film production and making a few really short documentaries about the roles of women/girls in various areas, and one I’m hoping to focus on is street art/graffiti.
If you’re a woman and involved in the Bristol street art scene, please give me an email! I’d be hoping to film this winter, and have a few ideas planned. Get in contact if you’d be up for it!

Hard at work at the mo on lots of projects in my own time, with a lot of it focused around BÖIKZMÖIND, which is really good fun. Finally got a digital release of the film in sight, as we speak I’m waiting to get the file itself online. So, coming very soon will be the 720p HD version of the film, which will be available to buy and will come bundled with the ‘Making Of’ edit in glorious HD too! Stay tuned to facebook.com/BOIKZMOIND for the latest!
Help us make this Bristol based zombie flick a reality.
To celebrate Easter and the launch of the BÖIKZMÖIND DVD/Photo book which happened today here in Bristol, I made this short film starring everyones favourite furry friend, the Bunny! So grab a cup of tea and put this in your eyelets, it’s entitled “Every Time…” and has a very important message in the film, so have a watch… Happy Easter!
Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival, a leading UK showcase of short film and animation, is now accepting entries. The festival is coming of age in 2012 with its 18th edition.
Expectations are high, following a record number of 1789 film submissions received and a 37% increase in audience figures in 2011. Fresh developments for this year’s event include earlier dates (18th – 23rd September) and the move of long-time Programmer Mark Cosgrove into the position of Artistic Director, as well as the welcoming of new Short Film Programmer (Brief Encounters) Gaia Meucci.
The festival has emerged as an important UK gateway for upcoming talent, giving selected filmmakers the chance to qualify for a whole host of major awards nominations – the Academy Awards, the BAFTAs, the European Film Awards and the Cartoon d’Or.
Notable recent success was enjoyed by Grant Orchard’s A Morning Stroll, which after its Animated Best of British prize at Encounters in 2011 went on to win a BAFTA for Best Short Animation.
“The festival is looking forward yet again to discovering the most promising short film and animation talent from all over the world,” said Managing Director, Liz Harkman. “We have come a long way and are proud of the festival’s success. We have exciting plans for our 18th edition, and will continue to find new ways of showcasing, celebrating and inspiring short filmmakers through reaching new audiences, and facilitated networking amongst industry professionals and emerging filmmakers.”
The call for entries is now open and will close on 6th June (9th July for Watershed’s DepicT! 90-second film competition, which is part of the festival). Films of any genre with a maximum duration of 30 minutes, completed after January 2011, are eligible.
Submissions are made through the Reelport website, which will host the Encounters Digital Viewing Library, making all films available for delegates during the festival and for the following 6 months.
Full submission guidelines are listed at www.encounters-festival.org.uk/submissions.
We passed our film off into the hands of the Bristol-based Magic Lantern Film Club, who screening Girl Walk // All Day to a roomful of pumped-up folks on January 20th. Here’s what it looked like. All proceeds from the night (407 pounds) goes to Awamu, which supports children orphaned by HIV in Uganda.
p.s. This makes us so damn HAPPY.
