WHISPERS...

There are lots more film screenings in the pipeline: at the Workhouse Festival in Wales, Tangerine in Australia, Discussions on Film at The Corridor in London, and at the Pink Festival in Cambridge. We’re also working on Getting Ready, the latest from the cinema of small gestures.
We can’t give any proper details just yet, but watch this space…

THE VERY BEST OF CINEMATOPIA 2009

Our cheeky Stag Movie has been chosen for a special event this Friday 26th June at the Mad Ferret, Fylde Road, Preston. Doors 7pm. £3 entry. It's part of the indoor Glastonferret Mini-Festival... Here’s the official blurb:

The Very Best of Cinematopia 2009 will showcase an awesome line-up of the grooviest short film, music video, animation and digital media from our past events. The outdoor screenings will be on the Orange Peel stage. And all this with a turfed pub, live bands, barbeque and real scrumpy (and the outdoor area’s roofed so you don’t need to worry about the British weather!)

Hosted by Kitsch Monkey Productions and the Mad Ferret, Cinematopia is Preston’s only regular movie night, screening a themed programme of weird and wonderful films.

THE HARRISES LIVE IN CONCERT!

Robert and Jennifer Harris, the copiously talented brother-sister combo who have provided the music for many Roundeye films, will be performing live at this year’s Concert in the Park, in Goodnestone Park, Canterbury, Kent.

Our talented duo are the opening act for the event, which is this Saturday 20th June. Gates open at 3pm, and tickets can be purchased here.

BEN BARTON & KENNETH ANGER - AT THE PICTURES!

Just a few days to go until Roundeye's latest appearance at The Pictures, without doubt London's coolest film night, who have supported us from the beginning.

This Wednesday June 17th two of our films will be sharing the programme with the legendary Kenneth Anger - Benny B's true hero. Both Insects and Stag Movie will be up there, followed by Anger classics Rabbit's Moon, Invocation, the Scorpio & Lucifer Risings and even Puce Moment - the inspiration for our new film (still very much in progress) called Getting Ready.

Get there for 8pm and expect to stay late!

STRAWBERRY SEASON

This Friday is the first night of the Strawberry Fair Film Festival in Cambridge, where Ellen Love will screened in the Big Top Tent. Our section starts at 9:45pm and is being sold as the "best new short films from around the world". That's what I call hype!
And yes I know I've said it before, but admission is free!

JESUS AT THE SYNCH FESTIVAL, ATHENS

A few months ago Ben created a special edit of Uphill for Jesus for the brilliant Synch Festival, held in Athens Friday June 12th to Sunday 14th.

The film will be projected onto large screens outside the Technopolis building, a historic old factory in the city centre.

It's part of Synch's moving image programme, a non-competitive show that promotes work from international audio-visual artists. Now in its sixth year, I'm assured this fest is one of the bestest in Europe!

Florence and the Machine, a personal favourite of Roundeye star Benny Harris, are part of the incredibe line-up for this event, as are Benny B's fave, the New Young Pony Club.

Here's a wee trailer to whet your appetities:

B:FEST THIS SATURDAY
