Showroom Shorts - June BFI Special
Advertisement
It's a very special Showroom Shorts in June of this year, because none other than Ben Taylor, Talent Executive of Film Hub North and the BFI, is guest-curating the event!
Curious about the kinds of films the BFI commission when they fund shorts? Would you like to be getting the inside scoop about what they are looking for? How about getting the chance to meet all of the commissioned filmmakers, who will be with us on the night to introduce their films and answer questions?
Yep, you'll be able to experience and learn all of that, and all for free too.
Ben has picked seven amazing shorts for you to see on the evening, around 70 minutes of material. Come join us, take part in our raffle (you can win posters, cinema tickets and more) and of course learn about the films the BFI commission - it's a great way of seeing these films before they are available to everyone too.
Pretty amazing opportunities here, folks. Check out the full programme below!
