Sunday 19th July, 2009Encounters Short Film Festival is an annual short film festival based in Bristol and is billed as one of the most important festivals for short film and new film talent in the UK and Europe. Last year their Best of British prize went to Bristol based filmmaker Esther May Campbell who then went on to win a BAFTA for her film September.
At Latitude, Encounters will be presenting a discussion between filmmaker and producer. Award winning short filmmaker Tom Harper has recently travelled a journey few short filmmakers ever travel and has completed directing his first feature film, developed by FilmFour, The Scouting Book for Boys (starring Thomas Turgoose - This Is England/Somers Town).
Harper with producer Ivana Mackinnon (Slumdog Millionnaire, Eden Lake) will discuss the journey a short filmmaker goes through to become a feature filmmaker. There’ll be extracts from his award winning short films and a sneak preview of The Scouting Book for Boys trailer due out in the autumn.
