SOLO FILM SHOW - THIS WEEK!

Well this week this the most exciting one EVER for Roundeye - and that's a fact.

And it's all because coming this Friday 8th July is Ben Barton's first ever solo film night, all being held for the fantastic Folkestone Triennial 2011.

Part retrospective, part avant garde film night, the evening promises our usual blend of scratchy, imperfect super-8 films, found footage and great music from Roundeye regulars Jennifer and Robert Harris.

We'll be showing virtually every single film we've made over the past three years, including the first ever screenings of new works Little Red and 5,000 Miles From Hollywood.

So if you can get to Folkestone's fab Quarterhouse this Friday - please come down and support us - the more the merrier! The films start at 7.30pm and entry is a teeny-tiny £3!

You can read more about the short film night here at the Folkestone Fringe website, or here at Benny's very own homepage.

We hope to see you there!

KINO SHORTS 5 presents
THE BEST OF CINEMATOPIA
Wednesday 9th September 2009 at 8pm
Green Room, 54-56 Whitworth Street West, Manchester
Tickets £4

Our irrepressible Stag Movie is now making her way to Manchester, boobies and all…

Kinofilm will play host to The Best of Cinematopia 2009, an awesome line-up of the grooviest short film, music video, animation and digital media, selected from this year’s past events at Preston’s Mad Ferrett. If you haven’t been to one of their events yet in Preston, now’s the chance to see what they’ve been up in darkest Lancashire – where some say there’s there’s even an Independent film scene there… so come find out what all the fuss is about.

If you missed it at the Glastonferret Festival, now's your chance to see it on the big screen!

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.

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!

DEER-Y ME! STAG MOVIE IS BACK!

The stag has reared its head again! Remember Stag Movie, our little 'found footage' film, based on those cheeky bachelor-party movies of the 1920s and 30s? (Mazza Monroe and Joan 'Mommie Dearest' Crawford are both reputed to have appeared in some).

Well following the first screening in London late last year, it is now back on our screens!

It was recently shown at the The Film Den in Manchester, and also as part of Cinema Rivalry at the Ping Pong Club in Kreuzberg, Berlin - the theme was 'Poetry Film vs Dance Film'.

And now we've just had wind that you can catch Stag Movie at this Monday's Cinematopia Kitch Trash Movie Night in Preston, Lancashire. Held at the city's 'best music venue', The Mad Ferret, it's being screened as support to John Waters' spellbindingly legendary cult trash classic Female Trouble. We're over the moon. So you know where to find us, right?

P.S: I want Cha-Cha heels !

STRIP!

With Ben Barton still recovering from his very own stag night, it seems fitting that his new film Stag Movie has just had it's premiere at the Striplite night in London. This mix of burlesque, short films and other saucy entertainment is the perfect venue for the film, which uses found footage of old girlie movies and a 70s disco soundtrack. Marilyn Monroe and Joan Crawford are both said to have starred in 'stag' movies early in their careers, so we're in good company, I guess...
