REEL FILM

So, Reel Film, Tank's first film club kicked of last night with a very special first viewing. We had to draw back elements of the current installation, A Trail of Tales by Emma Winter, like a curtain, to make room for watching the screen. The pictures are very dark but you can get an idea of how cozy it was sitting amongst the art on chairs and on the floor. After settling in with drinks and bowls of chips from the bar, we watched three films by local film makers and artists.

Aliceson Carter presented a wonderful fine art, observational, ultra documentary piece made whilst on a artist residency abroad. Sheridan Flynn and Kai Clear both presented beautifully captured documentary portraits of local characters. As we had hoped, we had a mixture of film makers and non film makers in the audience all of which participated in discussions. Sharing ideas, thoughts and tips.

The next Reel film will take place on the 24th of March and everyone has agreed to make something. Robin Morgan, who runs the night, really encouraged us all to at least try to make some kind of cinematic piece, whether it be 20 minute well finished film or simply 1 min of mobile phone footage. I have never been in the slightest bit interested in making film, however even I have been inspired to give it a go for next month. I may just record snippets on my mobile phone and see what happens! Sounds easy!??? Umm? Either way I am looking forward to the next one. x Aoife
