Official Selection at 5th Leicester DocFilm Festival for 'The Next Room' [VIDEOS FOR ARTISTS #3]

7/11/2014

UPDATE: The screening was previously stated as 3pm but it is now 5pm. See the full programme of films HERE for their "Showcase Programme" that the film is in.

Howdy! I haven't blogged in ages as I've been intensively moving house and setting up shop, but pretty much back on track now AND... I'm pleased to announce that I just got word a few days ago that The Next Room (the third in my Videos For Artists web series) will screen tomorrow as part of the 5th DocFilm Festival 2014. The screening will takes place at the Doc Media Centre (Highcross, Leicester) 8th November at 5pm as a part of a larger programme showing 11am to 7pm. There is a big array of things going on, with the entirety of November being Documentary Media Month. Well worth a look and a privelege to be a part of! Sadly I can't attend the screening but wish the festival and wider event the best of luck.

The Next Room is a short documentary that casts a wandering eye on a group of artists as they prepare for their installation performance within the Pit Theatre at London's bustling creative nucleus the Barbican Centre. Le Collectif International des Improvisateurs is made up of performers, musicians, technicians, dancers and everything in between. An eclectic, unsuspecting audience will walk through the door into The Next Room. Check out the group's brand new website.

If you're on Twitter, keep up to speed with my work and interact with me @PaulEVernon. I will soon be releasing my new dance film Branches & Bones that I made in Denmark and would love you to see it. Sincerely, thanks for reading!

SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON 2014: A Film By Abigail in Official Selection at Film Festival! [SDCC]

San Diego Comic-Con 2014
OFFICIAL SELECTION
San Diego International Children's Film Festival

UPDATE: 'A Film By Abigail' will screen in Programme 5 as the second film in what's dubbed "Best of Fest" and described as
"Some of the best shorts from 11 years of the festival, take a trip back in time enjoying again some of the all-time favorites!"
See the schedule in full on comic-con.org.

Exclusively announced on the TRAVELLING MAN FACEBOOK page - the best and my favourite comic book shop - my short documentary A FILM BY ABIGAIL will screen at the world renowned and highly anticipated SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON 2014! It is in the Official Selection of the San Diego International Children's Film Festival on 27th of July. If you're unfamiliar with SDCC, this is the number one event where huge announcements/panels are held for TV, film and comics. Although it's rooted in the science fiction and superhero genres first and foremost, the event has become an annual phenomenon in which celebrities, tv shows, premieres, producers, writers, directors, actors... will all be present and it is the most important popular arts convention in the world. To be a part of it with one of my films is astounding. As a comic book reader who (and will still this year) wait for the major trailers/announcements trying to one up each other, cliche or not, it is a dream come true to have my work there. To give you an idea of its magnitude and cross-form appeal here are some of the illustrious sponsors: AMC, Warner Bros, MTV, Nintendo, Showtime, Marvel, DC Entertainment, Xbox and Sony Pictures.

...this year presents many new shorts, as well as favorites celebrating the past decade of the festival. The festival features creative, exciting, and imaginative short films from around the world: animation, live action, and documentary... films from the United States, Canada, Italy, Hungary, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Spain, and beyond."

'A Film By Abigail' recently screened at WonderCon 2014, the sister event from Comic-Con International, the WonderCon Anaheim International Children's Film Festival and also at the 25th Internationales Film Festival Emden/Norderney in Germany as the opener of a British showcase of work curated by the London Short Film Festival. In addition to the San Diego Comic-Con screening, I have decided to coincide the event with the film finally releasing online publicly as well!

Some other quick notes before you leave... my science fiction short film MARS-II screens in Detroit (USA) in the Official Selection of the Detcon1 Film Festival in a few days on Saturday 19th of July at 7:14pm as part of 'Science Fiction & Fantasy Shorts #4'.

Also, following my blog about three art film commissions on the horizon, I have now successfully completed production on them. Phew! The first of which is completed and online (see left), a documentary for my 'Videos For Artists' web series, shot at BARBICAN CENTRE. My film for 'Filthy Lucre: Lost In The Nameless City' where I interpreted London's urban spaces with video/photography screened

at the event a few days ago and was met with a resounding ovation from the audience. I will be writing a separate blog about the making of the film very soon, sharing images of the process and research behind it, as it developed from ideas into a finished piece of work - - - I returned from Denmark about a week ago, and having gone there to shoot two films, I returned with FOUR!! I shot at a rarely captured place called Vallo Castle, dance on a beautiful Copenhagen beach and at a converted Chapel, now a dance studio: Danse Kapellet. There'll be more on these exciting finished or near completed film projects in an upcoming blog post.
