When
23rd July – 1st August 2008
Where
Curzon Soho and other London venues
The Rushes Soho Shorts Festival has returned for another year of cool and quirky films.
Why you should goAre you listening, film buffs? This film festival is pretty much the be all and end all when it comes to short film festivals in London. And the best part – for filmmakers, anyway – is that there’s no snobbery involved, just loads of fun and constructive criticism.
Don’t missLast year’s categories are back again for another year – that’s awards for the best short film, animation, music video, title sequence and newcomer. Plus, in 2007 the Rushes Soho Shorts Festival created a category for best documentary, so now for the second year all the film journalists and truth tellers have the chance to show their stuff.
And of course, there’s always the possibility of spotting a celeb, whether in a film (David Tennant, Dita Von Teese, David Thewlis, Mackenzie Crook, Jack Dee and Phil Jupitus have all made appearances) or at the awards, which has boasted some celebrity hosts like Nick Moran, Graham Norton, Sean Pertwee and Damian Lewis.
The Rushes Soho Shorts Festival takes place from 23rd July – 1st August 2008 at the Curzon Soho and other venues in London.
