Screen Social opens a film-fueled 2013 with an exclusive ‘Best Of’ selection from the acclaimed Fujifilm Shorts, introduced by Fujifilm’s Jerry Deeney. This Screen Social is also part of the London Short Film Festival.

The Winner of the Best Music-based Film Award at The Van d’Ors 2012, this incredible, strangely moving film is a Google Street View stop motion animation which began as a personal project by director Tom Jenkins. The film was a viral hit together with another short ‘Speed of Light’ and now Tom and his directing partner Simon Sharp are embarking on a feature for Sony Pictures! Well done guys!
This intriguing animation was nominated for best Motion Design at The Van d’Or Awards 2012. Some seriously good motion skills on show here. We look forward to screening more of David’s work at our regular night Screen Social in the future.

We absolutely love this animated short from Celine Desrumaux, who is one to watch. This was one of the films screened at the first ever Screen Social and really sums up what we love about film & music coming together to create a cool cocktail of colour, noise, & style.

This quirky documentary (directed by Kate Sullivan) was nominated for Best Documentary and Best Director at The Van d’Or Awards 2012 and has already picked up awards and fans across the UK. It’s a portrait of 1948 Olympic gymnast George Weedon.

The guy is a legend. http://www.walktallfilm.com
