Here's a breathtaking 3D short movie created by a very talented French team 90degrees - with a great soundtrack too.
Short & Sweet is London's only weekly short film festival and screens international shorts to over 1000 people every month. Founded by Julia Stephenson in 2006, the screenings take place every Monday night at Café 1001 in Shoreditch with the aim of showcasing new short films and their creators in a free, accessible environment. Between 2006 and 2010, BAFTA chose Short & Sweet as its official London venue for the screening of all the Orange BAFTA short film and short animation nominees, and the project is now looking to expand further north by hosting the first Short & Sweet short film event at Leeds venue Nation of Shop Keepers on 26th May 2010. The event will also feature a DJ set from Bill Ryder Jones (Domino Publishing), who began his musical career as the lead guitarist in the early noughties psych-indie phenomenon The Coral. Keen to score films himself, Bill is in the middle of exploring new liaisons with well known soundtrack writers and completed his own score for Liverpool produced film 'Leave Taking', which was funded by Vision and Media in the North West of England.
Short & Sweet is a free event.
Doors 6.30pm, with first screening at 7.30pm
Venue address: Nation of Shop Keepers, 27 - 37 Cookridge Street, Leeds, LS2 3AG

If you fancy a little doodle, have a play on this website here and embrace the World of 3-D. 3-D will always work best if you have a pair of red-blue 3-D spex - but actually it seems to have it's own spin without. I'm watching it without normal spex and I'm definitely seeing strange shapes.
In February, Julia Stephenson of Short & Sweet London's only weekly short film festival put together a series of short films with Creatives Against Poverty to make Saathi's street youth smile. Share their smiles with this touching video proving the significance of short film.
Domino were down at usual haunt Short & Sweet last night run by the wonderfully inspiring Julia Stephenson. We were accompanied by Max Tundra who was disguised as Ben Jacobs for the night. An absolutely incredible line up of films we got to meet the lads from Big Red Button who directed this Quasi masterpiece.
Portland's Quasi announced details of their forthcoming eighth album, American Gong. Mixed by Steve Fisk, Tucker Martine and Dave Fridmann, set for release on 22nd February 2010 through Domino in the UK & Europe, and Kill Rock Stars in the US.
