short & sweet

if you're looking for something nice and new to do on Tuesday evenings come to its a house for the Short & Sweet screenings:

A different selection of the finest short films, music videos and short animations from around the world are screened each week, from established directors to new talent. The aim is to ce

lebrate film and take audiences on a journey: creatively, personally and emotionally.

I've been twice now and have watched all sorts of films, including some really cool animations, some awkward British comedy at it's best, and a surprisingly raunchy tale of a blind woman wearing a knitted body-suit in the forest.

This week one of the films shown was a music video featuring Josie Borain by the band Bicycle Thief. It's a mixture of her now and old footage of her in her modelling days. The old footage is SO beautiful: Josie & her babe then-husband Swiggy + Paris + birds...oh it's just dreamy. It's a nice song too so have a watch/listen:

First of all watching this made me totally jealous, 'cause UGH what an exciting life, and secondly really inspired me to start VIDEO-ing life instead of just photographing it. So I've started filming things. So far I've just got some really gripping footage of a cheese platter and my room (life's pretty wild right now, guys) but it's a start. 

The next Short & Sweet is the last one in 2012 and they'll be showing the best shorts of the year. There are beanbags and wine and popcorn and nice people so you should come and I'll see you there ♥
