Festival: Lafoxe 16mm Extravaganza
10 Apr 2007, 7:30 p.m.
Gaëlle Rouard and Etienne Caire play with customized 16mm projectors Atelier MTK - France's most awesome DIY film lab - are presenting their newest work, LEVOX. It's an improvisation playing with all the possibilities of live multi-projection, sound and images. From 16mm sound and visual found footage, images are shot, processed, printed, colored and 'special effected' in their handcraft laboratory. A visceral visual poetry, one that may borrow from the normal cinema, but can never be given back. Star and Shadow

Festival: Eyes Wide Open (Open Submission Night) + Berlin Speziale
14 Apr 2007, 7:30 p.m.
In this day and age of surveillance cameras, mobile phones and electric dreams of sheep are we not ALL filmmakers, editing the ever-increasing footage captured via our optical appendages into our own simulacrum of reality (whatever the hell that is)? No? Yes? Then send your submission in to this open-call film and video night. It just so happens we have a never-before-seen amateur film masterpiece we found in Berlin on super 8 which will honestly make you think about 'how many great filmmakers denied us their work by quitting and becoming teachers or whatever…' Send submissions shorter than 15mins in length, on any format film or video to: Star And Shadow Cinema Stepney Bank Newcastle Upon Tyne NE1 2NP Star and Shadow info@starandshadow.org.uk 0191 261 0066
