Since September I have been taking part in a course, Screen/Play, for film programmers. So far we've had the opportunity to meet film programmers, festival creators, innovators across the board of film just to name a few, freelancers working on the commercial side, Curzon Cinemas, London Film Festival, Bechdel Test Fest, Flat Pack Festival with presentations about how to programme, what to programme, who the audience is and how to apply for funding. We've also been looking at the theory as well as practical side of programming as well taking on two major tasks. One is a personl project (more on that another day) the other is a group project.
As a group, working with Deptford Cinema, we have created a season based around films from a child's perspective but aren't children's films. Our season is 'Child's Eye View' and we will be screening 4 films over 4 nights at Deptford Cinema 16th-19th November.
Starring a young Will Poulter and Bill Milner is their first lead roles, you can see the beginning of a couple of great actors in the making.
If you're in London come along to see some 80s nostalgia and a few laughs. We'll be screening a short film before the feature and we'll be hosting an 80s themed quiz after, with chances to win some great prizes.
