A selection from exposures…
In december exposures UK Student Film Festival celebrated its 11th edition and gave out over £3,500 worth of awards to winning student filmmakers including a world-wide distribution deal for their films.
The festival is preparing once more to call for entries, so in celebration of last year’s exposures and to jog your memories as to what the exposures team are looking for, The Bigger Picture brings you an exposures ‘Best of Fest’.
Such was the success of the newly established Music Video programme, two of the films selected for The Bigger Picture have come from this strand. Filmmakers were given just three weeks to script, shoot and edit an original music video for emerging North West bands. Music Video Night filmmakers ranged from a 13 year old Flash Animation whiz kid, to experimental filmmakers and award-winning animators. Also expect to see brilliantly executed hand-drawn animation, and experiments with dance on screen.
This week is your chance to catch:
A Day in Flat Earth by Sally Stevens & Sarah Cockins (University of Brighton)
Space Travel by Steven Lall (University of Surrey)
That’s What’s So Sad by Sharon Keighley (Music Video winner)
Push the Button by Robert Kind (Bolton University)
