Filmonik Halloween mini-kabaret
Halloween is here; a time of ghosts and things that go bump in the night. What better time for Filmonik to hold its first themed event, a special horror, Sci-Fi and fantasy Mini-Kabaret.
October 28th – October 30th 2011
Why not make those bad dreams of yours a reality? Join us for an exhilarating white knuckle ride of cinematic creation on the mean streets of Manchester and Salford!
The Mini-Kabaret is part creative jam session, part cinematic bootcamp: three whole days of flat out, peddle-to-the-metal 24/7 guerrilla filmmaking; a chance for filmmakers, writers, actors, musicians, artists and creatives of all types to come together in a spirit of creative collaboration, to put their inventiveness, ability to improvise and eye for an opportunity to the test, and to have fun with film.
Whatever your skill or interest, the Mini-Kabaret has something to offer. For Directors, it’s a chance to hook up with actors, writers, cameramen and editors, for cameramen, sound techs and editors, it’s a chance to hone your skills in a high-pressure environment, pair up with directors, and start working as part of a filmmaking team. For writers, it’s a chance to workshop ideas with actors and get that script on screen. For musicians and composers, it’s a chance to try your hand at scoring a film, or performing on camera. For actors, it’s an opportunity to improvise and workshop characters and gain invaluable experience working with different types of directors and an array of varying dramatic roles. For every participant, it’s an opportunity to build up material for your show reels, to collaborate with new people, and network.
Participation in the Mini-Kabaret will cost £20. This includes admittance to the screening at Kraak Gallery on the 30th October and covers access to kit, food provisions, studio hire and insurance. If you're unable to participate in the Mini-Kabaret but would still like to attend the screening, tickets can be bought separately and will cost £5.
The Mini-Kabaret will be operating out of the “Film Lab”, a communal workspace for use by participants for the duration of the event. Here you will be able to set up editing equipment, rehearse, share ideas, exchange skills, etc.
THIS EVENT IS ONLY OPEN TO PEOPLE AGED 18 AND OVER.
