What an honour… even a great documentary-watching nation like Finland has picked Radiostan for their official selection. Radiostan will go on to tour up to 7 cities in Finland throughout 2012. Hurray!!! I hope to get a chance to go visit… not sure though. Busy-busy here making films.
The Encounters Short Film Festival in Bristol is the largest of its kind n the UK. We are very pleased to have been selected for the 2011 edition of this great festival!
If you’re in or around Bristol between the 16th and the 20th of November come check out this cracking wee short at it’s 23rd Festival!
I’m always pleased when my work gets seen in Italy, which I realise now, is really my country. So I was very pleased when Concorto (who’s organisers I met at clermont Ferrand) sent me an email stating that Radiostan is one of the finalists of their festival.
The Festival will run from the 20th to the 27th of August in Pontenure near Piacenza Italy. Check this link out if you think you might attend.
Radiostan has been selected for its 15th International Film Fest, this time in the Thai International Short Film Festival to be held between the 18th and the 28th of August. If any of you are traveling in South East Asia at that point then why not break up the sticky Bangkok days with an air-conditioned screening of my latest short?
Radiostan has been selected for the Kansk Video Festival in Siberia.
I’m always pleased when it screens in Russia and other ex USSR Republics, it feels like a return to the roots for a film that deals with such relevant topics for those countries. Have been offered all expenses to go visit the festival but have prior engagements… So gutted! I love to go to Russia when I can. Can’t put my finger on it but I really fell in love with that country somehow.
Ok, I don’t mean to bore you with Radiostan’s successes but I do want to keep you updated on its progress, if anything in case you get the chance to see it on a big screen. This time it’s Future Shorts, they’ve selected Radiostan for their August screening. Future Shorts prepares a monthly 75 minute screening which they then screen simultaneously across dozens of venues across 17countries!!! What more could a film-maker wish for?
I’m very excited about the up and coming auditions to be held in Turin at the end of July to find the right characters for Children of Babel. This film means a lot to me, I have invested lots of time, money, energy and creativity and it has evolved through thick and thin over the past two years. Now, with the backing of Film Commission Torino Piemonte, MEDIA Europe and Emotion Films in Turin we can kick off a professional and properly financed development process to bring this film to commissioning Editors’ desks early next year. Fingers crossed… Porta Pila here we come!
Radiostan selected for a festival that’s very close to my heart… quite literally… and close to the rest of me too. The festival will be held in the Church Hill Theatre just about one hundred meters down the road from my own house. I’ve heard great things about this festival and look forward to attending in Septermber.
SCREENING Sunday September 18th at 8pm in Church Hill Theatre, top of Morningside Edinburgh
Radiostan will be screening between the 9th and the 20th of November in Madrid’s Art Hub La Casa Encendida as part of a non-profit exhibition on Russian arts and culture. It’s such a pleasure to know you’re bringing a new perspective to people who might never have the chance to visit the beautiful territories across central Asia and Russia.
Radiostan selected for Slovenia’s Capital’s International Film Festival. Still remember our stop there during our 2006 bike tour across Eastern Europe. I dedicate this success to Pityu (1973-2008) with whom we busked on the streets of Ljubljana.
