Well, brace yourselves people – this was a special one. On Saturday 24th April, Kino London went and had an affair with the East End Film Festival – the result of which was a three-day filmmaking challenge. 40 people took part - filmmakers, actors, camera people, editors, runners... the list goes on. Challengers turned up in droves for the screening on Tuesday 27th – for the first time, we were literally turning underage people away at the door.We also had live music from one half of Kurtz – weaving a cacophonous serenade of ethereal and hypnotic avant rock and experimental noise; a definitely unusual departure from the evenings other pressing business – the films. Who made them, and what were they? Cast your eyes slightly lower than they are now:
Dominik Gotz - Thanks
Janita Han - Symmetry
Patxi Gil-Crenier - Failing in Love
Kim Richardson - Lifelong Learning Contract
Rachel Tracy – You Know Me, I’m April
Eddie Saint-Jean - Idle Right
Nick Ravenscroft - Relocation
William Kremer, Andrew Taylor, Jamie Kennerley – Marathon
Tania Martins – “three teenagers and a video camera”
There you go. No challenges were handed out since the entire evening was the culmination of one biggun. We were lucky though, to welcome back co-host Sam all the way from the United States of America. Tanned, moustached, fatter, but essentially the same, it was as though he’d never left. Nice one Sambo.
