Guildford Sneak Peek Reel

screentestfest — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:59:54 +0000

Hello all!

Just wanted to give an update on what short films to expect for the Guildford pop-up cinema event Wednesday night (15/02/2012). We selected a good slice of films from the comedy reel (thought this would fit nicely as a precursor to the almighty ‘This is Spinal Tap’).

We’ll be showing:

Water Water by Ian Robertson [Glasgow University]
Niagara by Leopold Dewolf [University of Westminster]
Will You Marry Me? by David Allain [Royal Holloway University]
Armless Love by Joanna Brooks [UCA Farnham]
Quizmaster by Sam Haire [University of Bristol]
Ever Hear a Postman Whistle? by Bexie Bush [UCA Farnham]

I hope to see you there! Tweet/Facebook us if you will be coming along.

Pop-up Cinema Event

screentestfest — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:41:28 +0000

Hello everyone!

We have some exciting news leading up to the big festival event in March. This Wednesday (15/02) @ 7PM we are playing host at Bar Des Arts in Guildford for a pop-up cinema event. We will be showing a 30-minute sneak peek reel of a very entertaining selection of Screentest 2012 films. After that, we will be playing the classic ‘This Is Spinal Tap.’ So, pretty much, awesome all around. Come say, “hi,” if you have the free time — or if you are like me, combine it as a Valentine’s date with your partner. At any rate, there’s good films, good vibes, and good drinks – should be another great night of Screentest fun.

If you do plan on attending, drop us a line on Twitter/Facebook or drop us an email. Definitely would like to say, “hello” to those who make the journey! Click the poster on the right for a larger version of the poster and for address information for Bar Des Arts.

Hope to see you there!
