In this day and age of surveillance cameras, mobile phones and electric dreams of sheep are we not ALL filmmakers, editing the ever-increasing footage captured via our optical appendages into our own simulacrum of reality (whatever the hell that is)? No? Yes? Then send your submission in to this open-call film and video night.

This is the night for you to submit your films and for the audience to submit to the films you have submitted. They can of course vocalise their feelings because we run a participatory cinema, so heckling and shouts of approval are encouraged. If your film will Un Chien Andalouslice across the audiences eyes like Un Chien Andalou (photo left, not bottom), or make eyes close through boredom or lack of endurance, we the anti-seletors don't care, because as long as the film is shorter than 15 mins we'll take it.

We encourage movie-maker's hollywood attempts (like the fascinating Win a Date With Tad Hamilton, photo bottom, with breathtaking acting performances; for some ridiculous reason it was not distributed in cinemas in the UK) and avant-garde ramblings, commonly Win a Date with Tad Hamiltonknown as Artist's Film and Video.
