PROGRAMME: Monday May 4th 2009, 8pm

Komedia Studio Bar, Gardner St, Brighton

Our first show in this year's festival kicks off with a superb collection of short films, see below.

A special mention has to go to Brighton Film School's 'Red Letter'. After last year's 'Survivance' wher a tsunami hit Brighton, the following year went one-up by making an epic World War two drama about a plot to assasinate Hitler.. see if you can spot the local locations used to simulate 1940's France! Also get a chance to see local outfit, 'Fractured Films' brilliant video for the band Mudlow and a truly stylish, mesmeric offering or two from our friends across the channel...

Full programme details below.
