QUICK FLICKS 2006
MONDAY 27TH NOVEMBER 8PM (DOORS)
JOOGLEBERRY PLAYHOUSE
SCREENING BEGINS 8.30PM
BAR CLOSES 1AM - £5/£4

Junk TV present QUICK FLICKS 2006 - a mini-festival of mini-movies. Now in its 6th year Quick Flicks is an open submission screening of super-short films for filmmakers and audiences without the energy for 3 hour Hollywood Blockbusters. QUICK FLICKS packages together 50 films running from 1 second to 3 minutes, covering everything from animation to horror, slapstick to abstract, music promo to sci-fi, from big to no-budget. Part of the idea behind QUICK FLICKS is to encourage film-makers to try their hand at exhibiting work that is easily realisable and does not involve months of production. Expect new award winning shorts from UK, USA and France.

During the intermissions there will be live music, twisted cabaret and the infamous doodle competition and audiences will be asked to vote for their favourite Quick Flick of the night. Drinks and food will be available throughout the evening.

LOW, NO AND MICRO-BUDGET
FILM-MAKING PANEL:
SAT 25 NOV 4PM
BRIGHTON FRINGE BASEMENT

There are a burgeoning number of low-budget independent films going into production but how do you get the money to make your feature?

LONDON TO BRIGHTON, PRIDE AND JOY and CITADEL are all examples screening in CINECITY of low, no and micro-budget features. While digital technology has made it easier and cheaper to get a film made, getting it released is another matter as most films never make it to the cinema. Miranda Robinson of Screen South will host a panel event to discuss why low budget film-making is essential to British film-makers, what are the restrictions with a micro-budget, or alternatively what freedoms does working on a shoestring provide? Miranda will be joined by a panel of film-makers and producers to discuss these issues. Menhaj Huda (KIDULTHOOD), Jan Dunn and Elaine Wickham (GYPO), Michael Cowan (Spice Factory) and Tom Kirk (Film London) - who has been integral in the setting up of the microwave scheme, will be among the guests giving their views.

An essential event for those trying to get their first feature off the ground and for anyone with an interest in how films get made.
