AFRIKA EYE'S
Tomorrow (Tuesday 25 Oct), Afrika Eye's youth jury gather to determine the winner of this year's EYEFULL competition. The 2011 programme features shorts from all over the world and offers a covetous prize to best Bristol entry. The prize comes from ICON FILMS, a prestigios Bristol-based production company, which shall support and mentor the making of a short film by the 2011 EYEFULL winner.
and see some of Bristol's finest young filmmaking talent!
EYEFULL screens at the Watershed this Saturday 29 Oct at 3pm.
It provides a great opportunity for young Bristol filmmakers to have their films viewed by production companies and television commissioning editors.
Also to feature in the EYEFULL programme is the new short film, AFRICA TO URBAN, which traces the routes of Urban music back to Africa. The film was developed when Loveworks, a Bristol agency working with inner-city young people, identified a widespread desire to investigate the roots of Urban music through documentary. Loveworks applied for Heritage Lottery Funding to get the project rolling. Afrika Eye has since sponsored the young filmmakers to attend a series of in-depth filmmaking workshops with Bristol community and educational production company, Firstborn Creatives.
