IF YOU COULD COLLABORATE...
SNELLIN FOR BAFTA GOLD!
BOB SCARPELLI TO HEAD TITANIUM LINE UP
SPIKE IS ABSOLUTLY FABULOUS
...AND FINALLY
No, don’t get over-excited, it’s not a screening of THE BEST FILM EVER MADE, rather a pretty special sounding selection of Silent Science Fiction & Futuristic films from 1900-1920s by the folk at Film Friends Forever.
Here’s what they have to say about the screening: ‘As we say farewell to the Noughties and some of us begin to think about what we'll be calling the next decade (apparently the Teenies?) we take a look at how the film pioneers from a 100 years ago thought we would be living our lives today.
We'll be screening a selection of Silent Science Fiction & Futuristic films from the 1900's to 1920's. Modern musical entertainment will be provided by specially selected bands / DJs.Wednesday 3rd February 2010

Sounds good to us!
If You Could Collaborate is a lottery and arts council funded exhibition now in its fourth year.
Aiming to provide a platform for the finest creatives from all over the world and question their conventional working methods and outcomes, contributors are challenged to produce something a little unexpected. If you could collaborate does this by requesting contributors to work with a partner of their choosing from any discipline, profession or background.
There is no brief to answer, or format to honour – the only limit being the enterprise and imagination of the artists involved, and a liberal 12 month deadline. Below is a fab entry from Roel and Job Wouters. Job is a Typographer and the pair have combined to create a film of a new spray-painting machine called the Rainbow gun (based on the original design from graffiti artist Daniel Tagno). Check out the colour co-ordinated paint and shirts... Utter class!!
For more info on the exhibition check here.
We love it when good things happen to good people, so imagine our delight in seeing talented young filmmaker/2AM Films newcomer/all-round friend of The Reel Luke Snelling get BAFTA nominated for his joyeous short Mixtape. For those who haven't had a chance to expreince its charms, hit the play button below!
