Halloween Film Fest – cinema

presents THE VX AUTEUR THEORY
(Tuesday 14th August 7-8pm, westbourne studios)
A top hit at the 4th Halloween Short Film Festival 2007, the VX Auteur Theory programme is a platform for new directors with strong visions and a personal hands-on approach to filmmaking. The search for this more personal film, whereby nothing is watered down or compromised by group decision, has pulled in these little gems; it’s pure, it’s funny, itís dark, its a new generation of D.I.Y Auteur! Strong films with a twisted vision and a D.I.Y get-your-own-hands-dirty premise of filmmaking, this collection is as pure, quirky, disturbing and individual as the filmmakers themselves. Nothing here is generic. That’s a promise! Curated by Lucia Helenka.
