  Bluescreen is all about YOUR Short Films... Bluescreen host an Open Screen Independent Walk-in Film Programme at The Cube Cinema in Bristol, England, screening Short Films by Bristol based Filmmakers since 2001. We screen Amateur & Pro Filmmaker alike. You just need to turn up with your film(s) at one of our events and we will screen them! Simple as that! Format wise we like DVD/Mini-DV, we can do Memory sticks but its a bit of a pain! And Films should be no longer than 20mins in length. We have an Orchestra! The Cube Orchestra re-soundtracks a couple of films from the burgeoning Bluescreen Film Archive, at most events now! We have DJs! Bluescreen Hi-Fi DJs in the bar throughout the evening! We also dig into the Archive to re-screen classic films from past Bluescreens! We have screened films at Festivals in the UK and Europe & hosted other film related events at The Cube. We helped organise the Bristol Filmmakers Festival 2008 and we hosted a 10 year retrospective at the 2011 Encounters International Film Festival, Bristol. (See History & Events/Past Events Pages for more..) | 26/01/12 - Films Screened last night! What Makes You Feel Alive?

Another busy Bluescreen and some really great films! Will be searching and adding films from tonight to our Favourites section on Youtube and to our Likes section on Vimeo over the next few days. There were a couple of mystery filmmakers, who left their films but didn't stay for the screening, or maybe they were just a bit shy perhaps!? Apologies to Diana & Imogen (DVDs didnt want to play- happy to try again in March?). Bluescreen is back March 28th for the next screenings. Thanks all for coming and see you next time! 25/01/12 - Bluescreen is Tonight! Doors at 8pm. Bring films on DVD & just 1 Film per Filmmaker. Gonna be another busy one!

So apologies to Rob Turner, whose film wouldnt work at all. And to the other 3 people whose film fell foul of one of our DVD players. 3 films got "stuck" in the DVD player and we couldnt get them out. Eventually we managed to retrieve and play them (or people had a backup copy) in our other DVD Player. (Always best to bring a backup copy just in case!). Apart from that it all went swimmingly!
