NEXT SCREENING
LONDON SHORT FILM FESTIVAL: PAVING PARADISE
Thursday 29th January / 19:30 – 22:00
Standard Tickets: £7 / Concessions: £5 (Unwaged, Over 60s, Under 18) / Student: £3
For over twenty years, London Short Film Festival has been offering leading new voices in film a way to find their audience and platform. A BAFTA-qualifying festival, it has platformed work by some of today's top talents.
In this programme, London Short Film Festival presents a collection of films that open up global conversations, from the environmental implications of AI to the ongoing political discourse around colonialism.
At the heart of these stories are the elements themselves: rivers, rising sea levels and the sky above us. Our journey spans from the rugged shores of the Isle of Portland to the forests of California, from the splendour of the Aurora Borealis to the frontlines of German climate activism. Each film asks: how do environmental shifts reshape our world, and our place within it?
UPCOMING SCREENING
ZODIAC KILLER PROJECT + Charlie Shackleton Q&A
Thursday 19th February / 19:30 – 21:30
Standard Tickets: £7 / Concessions: £5 (Unwaged, Over 60s, Under 18) / Student: £3
Join Waltham Forest Cinema Project for a live Q&A with filmmaker Charlie Shackleton, director of Beyond Clueless, The Afterlight and Paint Drying.
True crime is almost inescapable in modern media, even as real crime rates drop worldwide. There is no act of solved or unsolved villainy that has not been covered by documentaries, fictionalised on screen or dissected by podcasters. Filmmaker Charlie Shackleton set out to make his own contribution to the genre, adapting a memoir that seemed to solve one of the great mysteries: who was the Zodiac serial killer? But on the eve of production, the rights to tell this story were revoked. Shackleton takes this obstruction as a jumping off point to imagine what his film could have been, and along the way takes a sharp look at what true crime has become. Curious, probing and also very funny, Zodiac Killer Project asks what happens when the way we tell our stories can only travel along set paths.
