Kinofilm 11 Manchester European Short Film Festival
Written by john wojowski
Monday, 05 April 2010 16:47
The Kinofilm Manchester European Short Film Festival 2010 is pleased to announce a selection of highlights from a line-up that offers an ambitious, accessible and wide ranging week of new film and filmmaking events in Manchester, 27 April – 2 May. As ever, short films are the main focus of the festival, which showcases a kaleidoscope of new talent.
Over six days Kinofilm 2010 will screen 200 shorts over 30 programmes, selected from over 1000 submissions from across Europe. Not to be missed is the hilarious Oscar© nominee: Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty with Kathleen O’Rourke, screening in Animation. At the opposite end of the genre scale, Kino Extreme explores edgy, challenging new work including Tom Geens’ award winner You’re the Stranger Here. Elsewhere, the Love Stories programme explores romance in all its forms, including a wistful break up for the iPod generation in Modern Life is Rubbish, with rising stars Rafe Spall and Rebecca Night. Another Oscar© nominated short, Rabbit a la Berlin (2010 Documentary Short) is a rare treat and we are very excited to announce a special screening of this year’s BAFTA Best Short Film nominees.
Alongside the impressive shorts programmes, there are six debut features to look forward to in the “Transitions” strand, from directors who cut their teeth in short film. David Whitney’s acclaimed Kandahar Break is a definite stand out, the topical, tense drama following a mine clearer in late 1990s Southern Afghanistan. Horror fans will find their adrenalin pumping with local filmmaker Lawrence Gough’s Salvage, in which a sleepy cul-de-sac is plunged into fear when a mysterious ship container washes up nearby. Kinofilm will be welcoming directors featured in the “Transitions” strand to the festival to share their views on making the jump from short to feature.

Latitude Festival 2010 film and comedy additions
Written by Dani Cotter
Tuesday, 30 March 2010 11:06
Latitude Festival returns for an incredible 5th Edition on 15th-18th July 2010 set in the beautiful countryside of Henham Park Estate on Suffolk’s Sunrise Coast. Latitude is dedicated to bringing the very best from the worlds of music, theatre, comedy, literature, film, poetry, dance, art, fashion and cabaret together for one glorious weekend and once again, it has created a line-up like no other.
FILM & MUSIC ARENA
A heady mix of visual and aural pleasure, the Film & Music Arena is home to some of the festival’s most mesmerising performances. Bringing together the worlds of alternative cinema and music, the arena will showcase a jam-packed programme of award-winning films, documentaries and shorts with Q&A sessions and discussions alongside musical treats and thrilling visuals.
BAFTA is will be bringing another excellent programme of Q&As and discussions helping audiences access industry expertise and celebrate quality in film and television. First to be announced is pioneering British film director and screenwriter Paul Greengrass. Famed for his signature use of hand-held cameras, Greengrass is a leading and award-winning filmmaker specialising in dramatisations of real-life events. He has covered topics such as SAS actions in the Gulf War with his TV film The One That Got Away, institutional racism in the police force with The Murder Of Stephen Lawrence and the 1972 shootings in Northern Ireland in his documentary styled Bloody Sunday. Greengrass won the BAFTA award for Best Director at the 60th British Academy Film Awards and received an Oscar nomination for Achievement in Directing at the 79th Academy Awards, as well as earning the Writers Guild of America Award and BAFTA nominations for Best Original Screenplay for his for quasi-documentary-styled film United 93, a film based on the September 11th hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93.
Greengrass has also enjoyed Hollywood success with the 2002 sequel The Bourne Identity and its follow-up The Bourne Ultimatum starring Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, an amnesiac who realises he was once a top CIA assassin who is now being pursued by his former employers. Most recently, Greengrass returned to directing duties with Matt Damon in Green Zone – in which a U.S Army officer discovers covert and faulty intelligence causes him to go rogue as he hunts for Weapons of Mass Destruction in an unstable region.

Networking Sites
I have joined several production websites which employers search through to find people in the right areas with the right skill set.
ProductionBase has a huge number of employers which leads me to believe it must be fairly reputable. It does however cost £28 a month but i think this may be worth it.
ProductionWizard is another which i have joined, this has no fee but has a poor base of jobs unless you upgrade to there little black book which is in essence a folio.
