Photos of the evening...

Ninety guests of THE OLD CINEMA enjoyed a selection of new short films by up and coming artists last November. It was the first time since 1934 that any movie had been screened inside the building, formerly known as Cinema Royale.

We would like to thank Sir Peter Blake for introducing the films, and all of you who came to celebrate this special occasion with us.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of the New Shorts event, we will be holding it again the same time next year.

The new shorts were:

Pushkin by Trevor Hardy (www.foolhardyfilms.com)

Indians by Richard Penn

Fish Eye by Margot Buff

Stand Up for Charlie Barr by Rob Wyn

The Magician by Vera Juliusdottir

Gran by Trevor Hardy

Kallah (Bride) by Miri Shapiro

Procrastination by Johnny Kelly (www.mickeyandjohnny.com)

Stiff by Kip Hall
