Wychwood 2011

We were thrilled to host the film tent at Wychwood Music Festival, an excellent little festival in Cheltenham showcasing the best in national and local talent with an eclectic range of music, workshops and performing arts. Our corner of the festival featured a host of short film showreels, features, documentaries and live AV events, celebrating in particular the exciting interplay between music and film.

Making Tracks - May 2011

Making Tracks is a groundbreaking platform on which to showcase up-and-coming filmmaking talent. In a collaboration with The Cabinet of Living Cinema, the idea is simple: we seek out top quality short films, strip them of their original soundtracks and The Cabinet rescore them live on the night.

Programme

Whirlygiggles

Diverting temporarily from our usual film-versus-music style, in March we decided to take on the strange and immersive world of comedy through a range of sketches, mockumentaries and animations. This took place in the Horse Hospital on 11th March, and enjoyed a thrilling response from a very receptive audience.
