Moving Image Mela – SUN 1 APRIL 2-9PM

WEST WING, Tickets £5

Building on the success of last year’s Short Film Feast, the Moving Image Mela will treat you to a medley of short films, discussions, workshops and food, as well as the short film competition for the best short film exploring the festival theme.

This year throughout the week leading up to the Moving Image Mela, we will be running workshops in our Festival Shop in Slough town centre. We will be challenging you to create a sequence of images using either video, photographs, paintings, drawings or mini-sculptures. These will be pulled together to create a film and shown at the short film competition awards on Sunday night.

The Short Film Competition will pull together the best short films from around the world exploring the themes of conflict resolution and harmonious communities. A jury of film industry professionals will award a cash prize to the short film that best explores these themes. The discussions will provide an opportunity for questions and answers and an inside look at how short films can be used by communities to get their message heard. They will also give an insight into how to go about making your own short films.

Youtube has opened up a world of opportunity and now you can get your own voice heard across the globe. Our event is an opportunity to network with other film makers and learn more about the form. Workshops will be run to introduce you to the art of film making and animation. The work produced in these workshops will be screened at the end of the night.

Of course no event like this would be the same without the good hot dinner at the end of it! You will go home fed, entertained, enthused, and more knowledgeable. We look forward to welcoming you!
