Hello,Hello ,Everyone!!!
I know we’ve been dead , since the Filmmet awards, and by the way , I wanted to congratulate the winners, well done!!
I hope you all are ok .
It’s been a busy month and very exciting , Birds Eye view Festival was amazing !! I had the opportunity to see Mike Figgis in person , went to silent film screenings with live bands , met Gurinder Chadha, and watched very interesting films , full of live and wonderful stories; such as “Grown ups ” directed by Anna Novion, if you ever get the chance to watch this film , do it !! I promise , you wont be dissapointed!!.
But now , it’s time to look ahead and continue to get involve in every film activity that captures our interest. This is why I’m calling all professionals and budding filmmakers with an obsession for Sci-Fi movies –REMEMBER this is your chance!

SCI-FI-LONDON, The London international festival of Science Fiction and Fantastic Films, challenges you to test skills as a filmmaker and make you work under pressure like you have never known!
The 2nd Annual SCI-FI-LONDON 48Hour Film Challenge takes place on April 4th 2009 at the Apollo Piccadilly Circus, is FREE to ENTER and the rules are pretty simple. Basically they’ll give you a randomly generated film title, some dialogue and maybe a prop list. You’ll then have 48 hours (Saturday 4th April 2009 – Monday 6th April 2009)to write, shoot and edit a complete five minute film. You just need to find your perfect team and have fun!
Some of last year’s films went on to be broadcast around the world on the Sci-FI Channel and have appeared in several other film festivals and among the Jury members ; there’s Marc Caro( Delicatessen,The City Of Lost Children)and many more.
So if you are interested, or you have some questions – don’t hesitate! just drop a line to anna.g@sci-fi-london.com or abigail@sci-fi-london.com and check the link to find out more about the competition http://www.sci-fi-london.com/festival/2009/48hour/
