Water Lights. I am curating an outdoor public screening of new experiental films by myself and Hazel Stone for Whitstable Bennale Satellite. We had a technical run through last night and it looks amazing. I’m very happy. More details to follow.
phew, what a round-a-bout.
I am trying to organise a public outdoor screening for a new film as part of the Whitstable Biennale Satellite. Mostly I have encountered enthusiastic and helpful people but trying to establish whether or not I might require planning consent or temporary events licence is proving to be a circular process. Maybe I do need one, maybe I don’t, but so far no one is willing to go on the record, even at the planning office to say I definately don’t.
At this rate I am hoping to have 3 films screening at different locations during the Biennale. So I am feeling good, if tired trying to keep all the balls in the air. Plus I am doing an all day art market in Ashford tomorrow to try to keep the free exchange of art for money going!
And a week’s holiday, planned long before all these other balls went into orbit, the week before the Biennale. Hopefully I’ll be relaxed and not a screwed up ball of elastic by the time I get back.
Debut Film:
on Saturday I made my first short film. I got up early and shot some footage, on my first video camera, in the village where I live. I imported the files to my computer, used my new software to edit it, made and added some music.
I opened a Vimeo account and uploaded my little film. I went to the social network sites and let people know how to find it..
By Sunday lunch I had been invited to have a public screening at…
The Marvellous Miniature Cinema, at the Horsebridge Centre as part of the Whitstable Biennale Satellite this September/October.
I’ll admit to being really quite pleased.
