Movie Bus are looking for films

Movie Bus are looking for independent film-makers work to screen aboard the Vinage Mobile Cinema as they tour different events across the country.

This is an opportunity for film-makers to have their work screened in a unique environment; a one-of-a-kind 1967 Mobile Cinema, the last survivor from a fleet of seven. The vehicle is completely unique, featuring a retro-futuristic perspex dome above the cab, and it causes heads to turn where ever it goes!

People have come in droves to the cinema, not only because of the films and their content, but because of the unique nature of the vehicle. The Vintage Mobile Cinema will now be touring a series of festivals, screening a wide selection of material, and they are pleased to be able to help put together the cinema programming for the upcoming Aeon Festival on August 26th - 30th.

This is an opportunity for independent film-makers to get their work out there and seen in these unique surroundings. With the Vintage Mobile Cinema's unique ability to draw in a wide array of people, you never know who might be in the next audience for your film!

Contact Emma Giffard for more details on, emma.giffard@northdevon.gov.uk.

iFEATURES- Proper Filmmaking

Call for crew and support for final three films

From 550 applications and after 38 weeks of blood, sweat and tears, we are now close to announcing the three films we are going to make through iFeatures. An announcement will be made next month, and our first films will start shooting in the autumn.

Now is the time to register your interest if you'd like to get involved and work on any of the three films. We've set up some groups here where you can register in the type of area you'd like to work.

Please do bear in mind, though, it is up to the teams who they employ on their films and all three are going to be made on very tight budgets.

Why not take a look and sign up.
