Hullo viewer. We’ve just returned to D+CFilm Towers from the Plymouth College of Art and Design’s Splice festival launch. Yknow, we were telling you about it the other day? The story with the dodgy headline? Aw, click here to refresh yer memories, ya dunderheads!
They coulda done with pulling the blinds a bit (those tellies sure are shiny) but the stuff on display seemed pretty impressive.
As was the enthusiasm of all involved, from the students to the tutors, with the onus on independent filmmaking rather than local broadcasting. It verily made our hearts glad to witness such passionate and intelligent twoing-and-froing about the likes of This Is England and, erm, Cannibal Holocaust.
But what were filmmakers at the fest excited about? Here’s what they were excited about – in a cut-out-and-keep, top five stylee.
1. Shane Meadows
2. IPTV
3. Salad Fingers
4. 3D film headaches
5. Zombies
Cuh, kids today, eh? Anyway, we at D+CFilm are a little worried PCAD has underpromoted the event, so here’s what you can catch at the Viewpoint Gallery and Studio Theatre until next Wednesday.
Thursday, May 31 – 6pm: ND Media Year 2
Monday, June 4 – 6pm: FdA Moving Image Year 1
Tuesday, June 5 – 6pm: FdA Moving Image Year 2
Wednesday, June 6 – 6pm: Best Of The Fest Awards
It’s all good, as ver kids say. And the kids also say (according to our not-very-extensive research) – ‘click below to watch episode one of Salad Fingers’!
We’ll resist the urge to say we preferred Ren & Stimpy for fear of sounding like a Disco Dad. You’re not going out dressed like that, young lady!
