MOVIES : Future Shorts
What a great idea! This was a series of short films shown at the Gate (as in Notting Hill Gate) cinema at 11:30 on Friday night. The event happens once a month and showcases short films around the globe. The great bit about it is it is produced in concert with similar monthly screenings in some 20 other countries, and all the various groups swap their short films so you always get new, entertaining stuff, and the film makers get a chance to show off their films to a larger audience than just competition judges.
The stuff we saw was, in the main, great. The highlight being Salvador Dali's short film, which I am going to have to see again. It is a bit like what I want modern dance to be; a series of patterns made out of body movements that allow your mind to play with the shapes and ideas for its own enjoyment.
Other good stuff too, like a cute little story about a blob looking for love, a great piece about a troupe of percussionists breaking into someone's house and playing it like a big persuccion instrument, and a 'documentary' with a guy and his camera sitting in the lift of a big apartment block in london for a few weeks.
I will attend the next one too.
