The Student Film Festival London
Published by on
From the 3rd to the 5th of February, SFFLondon 2012 will transform the capital into a hub of global filmmaking talent with an array screenings, workshops and networking OR film-inspired senseless parties. With over 80 films showing over three days and some of our competition films selected for prestigious awards such as the Grierson (Caring for Calum - winner), BAFTA (Abuelas - nominated) and Academy Awards (The Road Home - longlisted) there is no saying what hidden treasures our international premieres will reveal.
Filmmakers will have their pick with a range of industry events from an interview with Music Video producer director Trudy Bellinger, a masterclass with BAFTA award-winner documentary film-maker Brian Woods and Emmy award winner journalist and film-maker Sorious Samura, a Pinewood Studios’ post-production seminar, a Rushes short films monetizing and distribution class, to a TV and Film award winning writer director Nick Reed’s Acting live workshop and many more.
Finally, from our opening night Shortwave film competition launch and London Short Film Festival’s ‘Student Film Award’ screening and party to our closing night Wong Kar Wai themed gala at the Apollo Picadilly with live improvised film scores, as well as Midnight Madness Quizz and drinks, our Friday night fusion film events celebration with the cinematic band Making Tracks and Gorilla Film Magazine’s wild wild games; there will be plenty of cause for merriment and opportunities to network, rekindle a film lover romance or have a walk on the wild side. Well as wild as we film nerds can get and we can be pretty fierce!
