4th Kilburn Film Festival July 7-10 2011
Our most successful festival yet!
It was a voyage of discovery: We found
What Glenda Jackson thinks of her Oscars
In an Q & A after the Tricycle Cinema's screening of A Touch of Class which won her an Oscar, she said her mum polished her Oscars so hard “it didn't take long for the surface gold to rub off, which I think is quite a fair analogy for the award.” The local papers all wrote about this event as Ms Jackson does not often talk about her film career.
A marvellously atmospheric new screening venue at the Tin Tabernacle
Where on Thursday Mexican videos explored the outer space of the mind and Javier Calderon , the curator, served Mexican food; and on Saturday lively Brazilian conversation compered by Paulo Rufino grew out of the challenging international short films.
An invitation from Father Andrew Cain's St Marys Church Film Club to their screening the classic Breakfast at Tiffanys. We hope this will become a festival regular.
What it's like to help write and then act in your own play: at the Tricycle Cinema in Speaking from the Heart local artist Nicola Lane had filmed the young members of the Clean Break Theatre Company creating their own play. Lots of them were there for a feisty Q & A.
Plus our top film festival regulars: new campaigning films from KOVE (Kilburn Older Voices Exchange) well covered by the local press; Irish shorts at the West Hampstead Womens Centre: and at the Tricycle Cinema Brain Wash's unusual shorts and our local film makers Movie Makers Brunch.
