THE SMALLS FILM FESTIVAL – Exclusive Berlin Screening
Thursday 11th October 2012 at THE WYE
Our friends of the Berlin Film Society are proud to present an exclusive Berlin screening of one of the UK’s best short film festivals, THE SMALLS. The festival is now in its seventh year and takes place in London over five days (17-21 Sept). The Berlin Film Society has been invited to attend and curate its own special programme of short films chosen from the shortlisted entries.
The festival categories include Drama, Documentary, Music, and Comedy, and the Society will select the ‘best of’ from each category.
The Berlin screening will be a celebration of the most creative, ambitious and forward-thinking filmmaking in modern independent cinema and we are very excited to be showcasing a strong variety of short films from this international festival.
Kate Tancred, Managing Director of THE SMALLS, will be in conversation with founder and director of the Society, Jack Howard, after the screening, followed by an audience Q&A.
Join us from 7pm for drinks and complimentary delicious British canapés.
ABOUT THE SMALLS FILM FESTIVAL
Over the last seven years the film festival has grown from a 2-day showcase of short films screened on video iPods, all the way back in 2006, to a 5-day extravaganza of film screenings, panel discussions and master classes, with the involvement of some of the leading innovators in independent filmmaking today. From a selection of incredible entries our esteemed judging panel, including: Elliot Grove (Founder of Raindance Film Festival), Scott Horscroft (VP of A&R Labels, EMI), Derek Thorne (Director of One World Media) and Steve North (General Manager, Dave & Gold at UKTV), has determined which films will be included in this year’s program.
