The North American premiere screening of Pixar’s La Luna followed by a special presentation of "The Making of Pixar’s La Luna" by its director Enrico Casarosa.  This keynote presentation is loaded with original artwork and insightful looks into Pixar's production process.  

Enrico will discuss the journey that led him to create this very personal short, and along the way demonstrate the singularly artistic style by which the film was crafted. Sunday 12noon July 24.

 

We are a not-for-profit festival celebrating the wealth of talent working across all genres of short film including live action drama, documentary, animation, music video, and broadcast design including online or mobile content, title sequences, and idents.

The work of newcomers and established filmmakers is promoted by screening work at cinemas, screening rooms and cafes throughout Soho and London’s West End.

We consider a short film to be under 12minutes, the time limit for most our competitive categories but we also consider longer short format work in our Long Form selection which includes work up to 30 minutes in length.

Our annual activities centre around a 10 day festival (2o to 29 July 2011) where the work of both established filmmakers and newcomers is viewed and judged on a completely level platform. These are joined by UK and international programmes and guest curators providing a total of 24 film programmes (each screend 3 times) and 45 plus events within the festival.

The competitive categories are:

The International AwardThe Long Form AwardThe Documentary AwardThe Short Film AwardThe Animation AwardThe Music Video AwardThe Broadcast Design AwardThe Newcomers Award

Through the Autumn and Spring we curate programmes of work at other festivals and events, while also encouraging production companies and organisations to view content from the most recent festival. Hopefully resulting in those filmmakers being invited to pitch on new projects and jobs as they arise.

Productions entered consistently feature a host of recognisable names and faces alongside gifted ‘unknowns’ giving everyone the opportunity to see, unmistakably, the british aptitiude for filmmaking and showcasing global filmmaking talent. Sue Johnston, James Fox, Mackenzie Crook, Dita Von Teese, David Tennant, David Thewlis, Saffron Burrows, Jimi Mistry, David Soul, Patsy Palmer, Jack Dee, Phil Jupitus, Natalie Press and Michael Sheen are but a few of the people who give their time, often for free, to play characters in these films providing an interest for a broader public audience.

At the conclusion of the festival the Rushes Awards are held to  announce the most acclaimed production from each category. Judges ranging across the creative industries vote for their prefered film, the 3 finalists from each category being invited to attend to hear the announcement, with all attendees then invited to celebrate and commiserate at an after party.

Rushes Soho Shorts Festival is now calling for submissions

Rushes Soho Shorts is now calling for submissions for their 13th celebration of everything short. Renowned for maintaining a significant bridge between the independent and commercial filmmaking communities, the annual not-for-profit festival celebrates the previous year’s best director in each of eight competition categories.

Poland, Poznan 15 – 21 July 2011

Since the first Animator we have tried to present animated film in all of its diversity, neither neglecting narratives nor "ballets of light", nor anything in between. Lovers of large productions based on verbal stories will find in this year's program, among other works, the beautiful fable by Michael Ocelota "Azur and Asmar". From the other end of the spectrum we will view the latest works of American independent artists – including George Griffin, Joanna Priestley and Emy Kravitz—who often experiment with methods of narration and means of expression. The following is a sample of what lies in between. First of all we will honor three "great masters" of world animation: Juri Norstein, Caroline Leaf and Daniel Szczechura, who incidentally will celebrate his 80th birthday on the day preceding the opening night of the festival. We will not forget another celebrant as well—the Poznan-based Studio of Animated Film, observing its thirtieth anniversary this year. We will also broadly represent preeminent artists and their works from Hungary and Israel. Especially promising is the lineup of film-related musical events? Our guests will include Nik Phelps with the Sprocket Ensemble and, returning for a second time, Compagnia d’Arte Drummatica. After two prominent Polish film music composers presented in previous years—Krzysztof Komeda and Andrzej Markowski—we will highlight the work of Włodzimierz Kotoński, the author of scores to such classic films as "Labirynt" by Jan Lenica and "Miasto" by Mirosław Kijowicz. Two thematic clusters of events also promise to be interesting: "Animation and Comics" and "Surrealist Film Inspirations." It fills us with great optimism that each year the number of films entered in the contest grows steadily. This not only indicates that animation continues to develop globally, but also that Animator is gaining an ever greater position in the world.
