We showcased Short Films made in Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and from all around the region and the world!
Including the award winning "SIS" by Deborah Haywood - a challenging and courageous look at society's fear of paedophiles through the eyes of two little girls.
Ben Wigley's brilliant "P.S Your Mystery Sender" a charming documentary about the mysterious objects someone has been posting to Nottingham Fashion Designer Paul Smith for the last 20 years.
We had the first screening of the outstanding documentary "BLACK STREET" by Faolan Jones
who travelled to Sierra Leone to make the film. The film follows "Black Street" - a group of displaced young people living in an area of Sierra Leone's capital Freetown. With the support of a local youth organization called AUCAYD a group of musicians from Black Street (called STREET UNIT) they are using music to transform a culture of crime and violence to a culture of creativity.
Faolan then returned to the UK where he approached Trevor Rose who runs the Community Recording Studio in St. Annes, Nottingham and armed with the support of some local musicians, including the legendary Scorzayzee, the first of a truly collaborative International recording project began. The finished music promo is included in the documentary - Filmed both in Freetown and St. Annes, Nottingham "Black Street" is a must see, inspiring piece of work that transcends cultural boundaries.
This festival's Local Heroes were delightful community artists Carly & Martin - based in Nottingham the pair work with all in our community, creating mini film gems and have recently completed a First Light project. They screened their work alongside an exciting animation workshop, and created a bang! ident for the main screening.
