Here is my brand new film… It was inspired by and created for the event At Home with the Ludskis #3 Winter Garden Edition on the 14th Jan 2012, where it was projected onto the side of the Rio Cinema building in Dalston. Now complete with a freshly scored soundtrack! I’m showing some work at the 3rd installation of “At Home with the Ludskis”, a late night experimental art extravaganza type event, taking place on Saturday 14th January at the Rio Cinema in Dalston, all part of London Short Film Festival 2012, which opens this Friday! Come, come! More info on the LSFF12 website. Hoorah! Tickets for Underwire Festival are now on sale, you can find the full programme on the website – www.underwirefestival.com There is a superb selection of films showing, and some brilliant industry workshops happening over the weekend, including a session I have organised: The Feminist and the Flirt: Performance Video Art It’s going to be a wonderful festival, hope to see you there!
UnderWire has got the extraordinary Gemma Mitchell and Helen Jack at the helm and these seasoned event maestros don’t mess around, so its safe to say that you’re all very much in for a treat again this year. Plus we have some incredibly inspiring and talented Patrons and wonderful Media Partners supporting the festival. For those of you unfamiliar with the festival, UnderWire was launched in November 2010 with the belief that women working in the UK film industry needed more encouragement and a bigger platform for their work. The fact remains that women still make up a small proportion of film creatives, and UnderWire looks to recognise the best short work made by women across a range of crafts. With awards for Best Director, Best Producer, Best Writer, Best Editor, Best Cinematographer, Best Composer and Best Film Journalist, the festival hopes to move us towards a more gender balanced industry. There is also the XX Award which is open to both female and male directors whose films have interesting female characters at their centre. This, UnderWire believes, will benefit everyone by creating a diversity of perspectives, stories and experiences for audiences. The festival accepts work of different genres including drama, animation, documentary, music video and artist film and the submission deadline is 16 October 2011. The full guidelines can be found on the UnderWire site at www.underwirefestival.com. As months progress, UnderWire will be announcing news of events, screenings and interesting happenings so keep your eye on the site.
Next week, Duncan McGonigle and I are exhibiting work at Wobble and Squint‘s new exhibition - Taken Away. We have been invited to show a video, called A Sprinkling of Sweetheart Seasoning, edited from the performance footage we shot for Their Hearts Were Full of Spring for their set at Leeds Festival. The piece was very much a response to the experience of working together creatively as a couple, reflecting on how the process of making the footage had an amusing effect on the way we communicated with each other. Wobble and Squint is a non-profit artist collective that is being developed by artist-curators Errol Fernandes and Anne-Laure Franchette. Their aim is to bring together diverse groups of creatives to present fresh, eclectic exhibitions that excite and challenge. We’d all love to see you at the private view in Exmouth Market, on the 28th July 6pm – 8pm. More details on the Facebook page.
BAFTA and Shooting People: Short Sighted! Shortsighted events are full of workshops, surgeries and networking opportunities aimed at those who have made a short film, and want to know what to do next. The sessions cover every step in the process of getting your film out to an audience and the people who might fund future work, from maximising your film’s festival life to knowing the inside story on traditional short film sales to TV and DVD. They also aim to help you judge when and where to put your film online, to look at where short film exhibition is headed in this digital age, and how this might start to generate revenue for filmmakers. Date: Thursday 23 June 2011 I’ll be on the “Future is Now” panel at 12:20pm. Patty&Hills are delighted to have been invited to perform their cookery/sex ed show at the rather appropriately themed Blue Stockings Sex Education this Thursday at Bethnal Greens Working Men’s Club.
For those wondering what this is all about so can they write a letter of complaint to the Head Teacher to get this nonsense stopped immediately, you can read the Blue Stockings Society’s important public service announcement here, here and here. Join Patty & Hills, your award-winning hosts, in celebrating their ageless youthful beauty..

Fashion Popcorn is heading off to Bristol! Excitingly, it will be part of the excellent Encounters International Short Film Festival, which was a staple of my creative diet as a Bristol-born youngster, and I’m still very much a big fan. For those of you who missed out on Fashion Popcorn back in July, here’s a taste of what happened: This time, the Fashion Popcorn crew will be taking over the Pervasive Media Studio seminar space, with short talks and showcases by Stink TV’s Stephen Whelan, Matter2Media’s Tim Kindberg and yours truly, introduced by Clare Reddington, director of the Studio. There’ll also be a demo of Tim’s Krstl mannequin and some delish cakes from Pullins. Yum. Fashion Popcorn aims at fostering a conversation about the creative potential of cross-sector collaboration, and the use of technologies for expression and communication in fashion and film.
