UPDATE: 'A Film By Abigail' will screen on May 10th in Emden at 2:15pm. The screening will be accompanied by English assortments of Earl Grey Tea, Scones, Clotted Cream, & Strawberry Jam for the German audience! Nice touch! According to the LSFF newsletter here is also a second screening on the 12th of May.

I've kept it under wraps for a little while now, but just after A FILM BY ABIGAIL screened at the London Short Film Festival 2014, I recieved an invite to submit to German film festival INTERNATIONALES FILMFEST EMDEN|NORDERNEY. One of the perks of being in the LSFF fold, is that they're very active and connected with other short film platforms for continual potential exposure. The short documentary was spotted by the German festival's short film programmer when it screened at the ICA. When I was officially told it was in (not always a done deal...) I was informed that it was going to be a part of the 'London Short Film Special' program - which is a curated screening of highlights from LSFF 2014 and presented by the festival director Philip Ilson. Not only that, but Abigail would also be the opening film for it!!!

International Filmfest Emden-Norderney is one of Germany’s most nationally acclaimed and internationally recognised film festivals. With over 100 films on 7 screens it is primarily a major audience festival for its 22,000 or so visitors.

The festival is larger, but seems to have a similar intentions to the THIS IS ENGLAND film festival in France that the film was an award nominee at, with it seeking culturally informative or insightful work from Britain for German audiences. This will be the film's German Premiere and the first time I've ever had any film screening in the country. It's a place that gave us and cinema Fritz Lang, Wim Wenders and Werner Herzog. It marks the third time that the short documentary has opened something, the previous being its World Premiere at BAFTA London and The Short Cinema film festival in Leicester.

'A Film By Abigail' Nominated For Award at French Film Festival!

A Film By Abigail Nominated For Award
at the This is England Film Festival
in Rouen, France

A FILM BY ABIGAIL has been selected to compete at the THIS IS ENGLAND - ENGLISH SHORT FILM FESTIVAL OF ROUEN in late November! The festival's aim is to show emerging & current filmmakers work from England to the French cinema audience of Rouen. The film will be in the running for the RNC Award in the Documentary class & €500 prize money. The preliminarily plans are for it to be screened at the impressive Omnia-République (see image below) where all the fest takes place including the closing ceremony. Also, similar to the screenings in New York, local school children will be shown the film at a later date separately too.

With a festival finally in realistic travelling distance & cost, I hope to travel to the French event! It's been quite frustrating to not be able to attend where my films are being shown, so this will be satisfying, perhaps slightly daunting, but ultimately exciting. It'll be especially pleasing to go, as my friend Lawrence Mason @danger_mason will be there too as the producer of 'Echo', vying for the RNC Award as well!
