November Short: The Things We Do

Before November's screening of our feature Headhunters we screened the short film 'The Things We Do'. A short about the things a father will do for his son and what he has to sacrifice to do the right thing.

It was written and directed by Jason Weidner and there was a mini Q&A after the screening.

October Short: Coffin Up

As part of our new Film Club we are showing a short film before each of the feature screenings.

At our halloween screening of Frankenstein we showed Coffin Up, the winning entry in the Edinburgh 48 Hour Film Project 2012. It was conceived, written, filmed and edited over 48 hours from 18-20 May 2012.

December: Bridge to Nowhere (4', 2012)
Written and Directed by Kim Stewart, the screening will feature a Q&A from Kim on the night.
A satirical look at the history of two of Glasgow's unfinished bridges. One, started in the 1960s, is now suspended in mid-air over a motorway. Explaining the history of the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ and its impact on local residents, the film concludes with a tongue-in-cheek proposal for the bridge’s regeneration.

Review of 2012 festival

It has now been nearly 4 months since the May 2012 Festival happened.  We are busy making plans for next year already and thinking about how we can continue to provide film events for the Southside until then.

The images below were all taken by Stefan Norledge.  He's a Glasgow photographer who volunteered for the festival and he has experience shooting a wide range of subjects including weddings, he can be contacted at stefann@fotki.com.

We have used his images in a mini review of the 2012 festival.  Download the Review here.
