Kino Shorts 21

Kino Shorts is back for the first event of the year at the Black Lion on Wed 18th January. Just over the border from Manchester. The venue is just 12 minutes walk from Piccadilly Gardens, 5 minutes from Victoria train station or just 2 minutes walk from Deansgate (across …from the bottom of Market Street/St Mary’s Gate). As usual, they’ll be showing Short films essentially from Manchester, Salford and the North West but not entirely in this session. Their nights promote emerging filmmakers both locally and from the North West and also encourage debate and networking. Each short film, where possible, will be followed by a discussion with the director / producer / writer of the film (and cast members when available). There will be a break midway to refresh those glasses and a fab networking session afterwards till midnight. Networking is always an essential part of the Kino Shorts night. Be there or be nowhere. SO, IF YOU NOT BEEN TO ONE OF THEIR NIGHTS IN THE NEW VENUE YET, THEN START THE NEW YEAR THE RIGHT WAY AND GET DOWN TO THE PREMIER AND BEST SHORT FILM NIGHT IN MANCHESTER.

The Millionth Monkey’s Movie has Launched

Millionth Monkey

They say give a million monkeys a typewriter and one will come up with the works of Shakespeare, but what if you gave them a movie camera? Would we get the next Tarantino? Could YOU be the Millionth Monkey? Filmmakers (D-Media) and Film Fans (Close-Up Film) have come together to challenge our perceptions of how great movie ideas are born. Start with an idea, a character, a place, a plot, a sketch. Post it on the website. Tell your Facebook friends, Tweet family, and anyone else you can reach, to see if they are intrigued enough to come and have a look. Get them involved, sharing ideas, passing comments, or just having a look. Add to, alter and develop your movie pitch and see how many people you can get wanting to see it on the big screen. The more interest you get the higher you move up the leader board. Ultimately, the movie concept with the most fans wins. Running over three months, from 6th December 2011, entrants first build up support for their movie concept. Voting opens on 1st February 2012 and no new projects can be submitted to the site. Voters can vote for as many of the pitches as they like, but only once for each idea. The leader board will show the top ten projects each week.
