Welcome all,
The projector with teeth returns and whaddya’ know we’ve had
a name change. To understand this switch practice saying the following out
loud (about 1,000 times); “No it’s not a horror festival,” and “No it’s not
in October.”
For the origins of the Halloween moniker check
out our history on luxonline.
Meanwhile the fest will henceforth be known as the London Short Film Festival,
which is, well, what we were anyway.
So to the shorts, and 2007’s submissions point to the UK’s filmmakers feeling
amorous and messed up, meaning we’ve stretched to two romantic programmes
Fucked Up Love and Love on the Road, with a new programme to cover the rise
of films about fellas on the edge God’s Lonely Men, plus the welcome return
of Teenage Britain.
As to our cover girl’s tattoo, the sentiment comes from our current earache
over hungry commercial media channels banging on about the need for filmmakers
to contribute “content”, where they could just as easily substitute the words
“product” or “filler between adverts”.
Call us crazy but we want short films to blow our minds in packed cinemas
with great projection and sound. So anonymous web-hits aren’t our thing,
but if you fancy discussing what you see we’ll be in the bar.
Kate and Philip
