Film Friends Forever

Film Friends Forever is a monthly film event that showcases the best of short films, music videos, feature films and talks from industry figures and is attended by those who love film and work in the creative industry and their friends.

The next event is taking place on Tuesday March 18th from 6.30pm and will feature a killer line up of Oscar, Bafta & other award nominations and winners. The films being screened are:

Meme Les Pigeons Vont Paradis (Even Pigeons Go To Heaven) / Samuel Tourneux - A priest tries to sell an old man a machine that he promises will transport him to heaven. eme Les Pigeons Vont Paradis was nominated for an Oscar in the best animated short film category.

Hesitation / Virgina Gilbert - A moment of hesitation: a lifetime of repercussions.  Everything isin place: a beautiful resort drenched in sunshine, lazing holiday-makers, a middle-aged married couple.  Paul and Rebecca reading.  A moment of indecision could mean life or death.  Hesitation has won the Best First Irish Short Film award, The Golden Hugo at Chicago, and was nominated for Bafta this year.

The Stronger / Lia Williams - Amelia is a waif-like out-of-work actress sitting alone in a cafe on Christmas Eve. She has been ditched by a theatre company. She has called off her engagement with her fiancé - and she has a lover.  Big, brash and successful theatre dame Anna comes in and unleashes her pity and loathing on to Amelia.  The Stronger won SAE Best Digital Short Film at Raindance 2007 and was nominated for a Bafta  this year.

I Met The Walrus / John Raskin - In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck and a head full of questions, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview. This was in the midst of Lennon's "bed-in" phase, during which John and Yoko were staying in hotel beds in an effort to promote peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it.  'I Met The Walrus' received numerous accolades as well as nomination for Best Animation Short.

The Pearce Sisters / Luis Cook - An amusingly bleak hearted tale of two weather lashed old spinsters. Lol and Edna Pearce live on a remote and austere strip of coast. They scrape out a miserable existence from the sea. The Pearce sisters is a tale of love, loneliness, guts, gore, nudity, violence, smoking and cups of tea.

The event is taking place just off Brick Lane at Corbert Place, Truman Brewery, there is a voluntary donation fee of £2.
