"After Gomorrah, I was looking for a subject which would live up to the mark, with at least the same force, and which would be as surprising and as sound as Gomorrah, if not more. Little by little, I realised that I was heading for disaster. One day, I came across this small story which takes pl...

America wants revenge on BP after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill occurred. There was so much damage done to jobs, tourism and also the ecological balance causing everybody to want the oil giant to pay. BP's TV advertising is costing them $ 1 million a week, reports the London Telegraph. BP's image to the world is much better with this. Unfortunately, the U.S. House of Representatives' Energy and Commerce committee expects more of BP.

Who would be a film festival director ey? It was always going to be a chaotic period once the deadline for submissions closed on Sunday July 25 at midnight. It was even extended to 5pm the next day. Add to that filming with Lateef Lovejoy for the festival and the debut of ‘Buff on Tour’ in Cricklewood at 7.30pm the next day also - and the phrase ‘killing hours’ comes to mind, a phrase which embodies the amount of energy being exhausted – and shared in equal measure by this year's fes...

From 2010 a nomadic City sets up two days and two nights each time in a different place. The Off/short is based on a very simple idea : give the opportunity to every short films’ or programmes’ scriptwriters, directors and producers to show their creations directly to the audience and people working in the film industry. A place composed of short-lived screening spaces calling for the unrestrained ‘invaders’ imagination. Each participant (alone or in group) creates his own broadcasting space. Everything but a festival : no selection, no prize, no ceremony, no celebrity… Only 500 short films or programmes shown to the audience, more than 100 short-lived structures with unusual architectures and atmosphere.
