The splendid 7 Inch Cinema folk have announced the return of the Flatpack Festival which took a year off this year. The dates for Flatpack 3 will be 11-15 March 2009.
The website for 2007’s festival is still up including this description of what it’s all about:
The festival remains fiendishly difficult to summarise, but intrepid punters can expect to find shorts, animation, music documentaries, independent features, live soundtracks, discussion events, web oddities, installations, parties and plenty more besides – with a general focus on people using limited resources in imaginative ways
Details are still a little way off with venues just being booked up now. Stay tuned though.
This bit of info came from 7 Inch’s latest newsletter/listings for October which is well worth a look.
Oh heck, and I’ve just noticed it also mentions this:
Tuesday 11 November at Warwick Arts Centre
NOSFERATU
More Murnau, this time with the Matthew Eaton/Grandmaster Gareth score performed at Supersonic in July. (Sunrise next please!)
I saw half of this at Supersonic and can’t recommend it enough. Nor can Cat Bray for that matter.
If you were nerdy enough (and I almost am) you could compare and contrast the score at the Warwick event with the Nigel Ogden improvised organ accompaniment at the Town Hall on Halloween.
