bang! festivalography

	Matinee Screening Broadway Screen 1 01 May 2004 15:15

	CC News Donna Bowyer Made by Connecting Communities and Bang! Short Film Festival, this is our first short film production and is about discrimination and was made as an educational discussion tool in the form of television news.
	Empress Susan Holloway Hilarious and inventive animation from a bang! festival newcomer, but we are so glad to welcome this new talent. Brilliantly painted, written and peformed, this is a bitterly funny fairy tale for all ages.
	F-Stop Andrew Whitney and Simon Wallet Science-Fiction-mad-scientist-lunacy, brilliantly visualised and brought to the screen with amazing special effects from the Hot Knife boys. I'd take this as a serious warning about the perils of an unchecked science destroying our environment. Watch this film at Britfilms
	How Snjezhi Tjelovek found his Ancestors Joris Oprins Stop motion animation from our fantastic Dutch regular contributors. Last festival's Mixed Frequencies caused quite a stir, this should be no different.
	Mid Winter Murders People's College Media Students The Police investigation into a series of brutal murders neems no clearer to catching their man, perhaps the detective in charge of investigations could be closer to the killer then he thinks.
	On the Rocks The Turrell Brothers Lyrical short drama from festival regulars the Turrell's, already making their mark on the broadcasters. This is one of their most gentle and charming films, evoking memories of summers coming to and end.
	Supaheroes Dena Smiles It's official: by the age of 9 you have lost your ability to fly! Smiles' smart and witty directorial debut has been distributed internationally, so we are pelased to showcase this Permier for a younger audience. Watch this film at Britfilms
	Westward Spirit Simon Ralph and Lee Parker A classic vision of the American Western, imaginitively animated with Flash. Short and Sweet.
	Where's Rufus Ryan Spencer When one of their friends goes missing, the gang goes in pursuit. Spooky stuff from a new crew of young filmmakers.

	Main Screening Broadway Screen 1 02 May 2004 20:15

	Chance of the Millenium Borivoj Horinek Czech filmmaker Borivoj's turn of the millennium docu-drama, at once heartbreaking and poignant.
	Conceptual Owen Tooth Art and Death collide in this dark psychological chiller from Tooth. Conceptual is dark, deep and deathly serious horror.
	Exit the Dragon D J Panchal Forget Kill Bill, here's the real genre meltdown deal from DJ Panchal! Kung-Fu kicking vengeance delivered for less than the price of a bag of chips but with twice the energy and good humor of a Matrix. Right laugh!
	F-Stop Andrew Whitney and Simon Wallet Science-Fiction-mad-scientist-lunacy, brilliantly visualised and brought to the screen with amazing special effects from the Hot Knife boys. I'd take this as a serious warning about the perils of an unchecked science destroying our environment. Watch this film at Britfilms
	Get Got Matt Taylor Horror, Violence, Zombies... all on the domestic front! Gruesome stuff from a bunch of local filmmakers, a promising debut indeed. Watch this film at Britfilms
	How It Was That We Got To Be Angels Gareth Howell Howell's tragic, sad and movingly comic animated mini-masterpiece was a deserved hit at both Brief Encounters in Bristol and the Halloween Film Society. Some dead people are more equal than others, or so it seems. Watch this film at Britfilms
	How Snjezhi Tjelovek found his Ancestors Joris Oprins Stop motion animation from our fantastic Dutch regular contributors. Last festival's Mixed Frequencies caused quite a stir, this should be no different.
	Pieces Luke Dennis Winner of the Royal Television Society Award: Best Non-Factual Short (that's drama to you and me!) 2003. Scary stuff : as each piece slowly falls into place just don't try looking over your shoulder! M.R. James' styled ghostly horror with a twist in this unsettling and controlled short. Watch this film at Britfilms
	Pillow's Story Miho Matsuda The confessions of a pillow! Warning: Matsuda's intensely funny animated tale of the trials and tribulations of an everyday household pillow will leave you unable to sleep comfortably ever again. Watch this film at Britfilms
	The Brick Max Crow Even the smallest amount of power can to to someone's head. This startling and original piece of animation is sure to be a festival favourite around the world. Watch this film at Britfilms
	The Cat With Hands Robert Morgan One of the most disturbing little films I've seen in a long, long time. Cat lovers will be turning their moggies out at night from now on.
	The Telephone Conversation Christopher Udenze Russell (writer of the BBC's Baby Father) dramatizes Nobel Prize winning poet Wole Soyinka's tale ofht 1950's arrival of an African man in the U.K. and his quest to find accommodation in a town where the word is "no blacks, no Irish, no dogs." The film took 10 years to make, so we are doubly glad to showcase this World Premiere at our festival.
	Video Alison Ballard Glitches, Roll-Over, Drop out and tune in stuff. One minutes of startling digital interference.
	What the ... Simon Ellis High Concept and Low Budget, What the... is head scratching, mind bending stuff from Ellis and collaborator Tim Cunningham. Hilarious, twisted and totally surreal mayhem, a classic.
