Womens Short Film Festival

Film Forum’s next meet up will be on Thursday 25th February @ The Victoria Pub on John Bright Street in Birmingham from 7pm.

The idea of these meet ups is to give filmmakers a networking platform from which they can meet people involved in different aspects of filmmaking from directors to actors in order to source equipment, make contacts and flourish. The entire evening is very informal so therefore it is really up to you if you approach it as a casual drink or an opportunity to network and get projects off the ground.

This month is slightly different to previous ones as Film Forum WM is also here for filmmakers wanting to get a team together for the upcoming 48-hour film challenge, Film Dash.

"For those that don’t already know, Film Dash gives you 48-hours to write, cast, shoot and edit a short film to a set of criteria."

"If you’re itching to get started you can watch some of the previous Film Dash entries here: http://vimeo.com/filmdash, read the rules here: http://filmdash.wordpress.com/film-dash-2010/film-dash-rules/ or register your interest in taking part by emailing us at filmdash@gmail.com."
