Make Film is a new exciting platform organised by

Orson Welles once said that “movie making is the only art form where the artist can’t afford the material for his art.” Well, that is not true anymore.

There are plenty of exciting avenues in online distribution and exhibition, opening up doors to getting your film seen by a worldwide audience.

You write to advertise your needs or services with a link to your website, and we add it to our blog which then forms part of the newsletter to send out.

Sicario (Preview Screening) – Friday 18th September (7pm, London)

This has got all the ingrediants for a great movie. Perfect casting in Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin.

Gorgeous cinematography, shot in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. A foreboding, twisting story of an FBI agent, Emily Blunt, in over her head in an escalating war against drugs at the border area. The tale has some raw action.

Come watch this movie with Non-Multiplex Cinemagoers Group, three weeks before general release in Central London at a top independent cinema.

Light Shaping Workshop – Sunday 13th September (midday, London)

All that talk about camera specs and 4K, 5K, even 8K resolution. We forget sometimes that it comes down to the beauty of the scene in front of the camera lens. A big part of that is the lighting.

Is it soft, is it harsh, what are the contrast ratios? ETTR or light meter? How do you get soft lighting just like the sun when all you have are point light sources? How do you repeat your lighting set-up if a scene splits over different days?

With so many questions, we have set up a lighting workshop to explore, discover and to seek out those answers. Come join other people interested in achieving great lighting. With a wealth of lighting equipment at our disposal and subjects to shoot for test shoots in a relaxed atmosphere, come join us. We will be using a high end RAW camera to capture with.

This workshop costs just £6, cash on the day. All proceeds go to Alzheimer’s Society. Spaces limited.

When:
Wednesday 22nd April – 7pm

Where:
Athene Place, 66 Shoe Lane, London EC4A 3BQ

 

A FREE EVENT. Free drinks supplied.

This year 2015, Non-Multiplex Cinema has put on some great events and workshops in London for filmmakers. On the 24th March we hosted the Film Means Business event “Michael Deeley in Interview”. One of the top movie producers of any generation, having produced Blade Runner, The Deer Hunter, The Wicker Man, The Italian Job etc. It was a pleasure and an honour to hear him tell the inside stories of how these great movies got made. He stayed after to sign copies of the book “Blade Runners, Deer Hunters, and Blowing the Bloody Doors Off” by Matthew Field.

Blur the LIne continues to be the most innovative of workshops. Our last few have focussed on fight scenes. With a professional fight choreographer, we have put acting talent through their paces, combining on-screen fight action with heartfelt dialogue, a very tricky combination indeed. It’s also a super challenge for crew, learning how to use the very latest filmmaking technologies to better capture cinematic images.

And it’s fun to watch movies with other filmmakers and film lovers, that’s what Non-Multiplex Cinemagoers Group on Meetup is all about. Since its relaunch a few months back, we’ve been privledged to see some great movies from Whiplash, to Birdman, to Blade Runner etc.

So come join us for free drinks. If interested to attend our AGM (spaces limited), email ASAP to 

Blade Runner: The Final Cut

Come see Ridley Scott’s magnificent movie the only way to see it, on the big screen! Viewing it any other way means you haven’t really experienced this truly, immersive, ground-breaking film.

A wonderfully, beautiful masterpiece set in a futuristic Los Angeles, Blade Runner breaks ground for many films to copy, with its cyberpunk, film noir setting to the tones of Vangelis’s hypnotic score. Philip K Dick’s dystopian novel of humanoid robots (replicants) and a hero played by Harrison Ford (the ‘blade runner’ of the title) whose job is to hunt them down and eradicate them.

Come see this movie with other filmmakers and film lovers in BFI’s biggest auditorium on Sunday 5th April from 4.15pm, for our next meetup for Non-Multiplex Cinemagoers Group.
To register that you would like to see it with us and to book online, please go to our Meetup page here.

 

Cheers,
Julian
