Relays films on this week in Bath

Our student programmed season of sporty films (Celluloid Games) is currently in full swing as part of Bath film festival
On Sunday we screened some short films in a black gazebo at Green Park Station (pictured above) which went down a treat with approx 130 people stopping by. It very nearly didn't happen as we had a minor catastrophe with the gazebo on Friday night. The strong winds caught it and blew it over, but fortunately Chris from the festival was able to fix it in time for the event.

We also screened The Belles of St Trinian's on Sunday at the Little Theatre which was very popular. Tonight it's Lords of Dogtown at Bath University, followed by I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer on Thursday evening at Bath Spa University.

Students select sporty films for Bath Film Festival

As you may have heard, Students from Bath Spa University have teamed up with Bath Film Festival to program a series of extreme sports films, known as Celluloid Games, to be shown on the big screen during the festival from 12-21 November 2009. The film programme for Bath Film Festival is now online, brochures are being distributed and we're gearing up to promote the films on campus over the coming weeks.

The final selection includes worldwide features: British classic The Belles of St Trinian’s, Australian cricket horror spoof I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer, American skateboard biog Lords of Dogtown featuring the late Heath Ledger, and recently released Sugar, about a young Dominican’s pursuit of the American Dream through baseball.

We'll be kicking off with Running Shorts – a free rolling programme of sporty short films presented in the Black Gazebo in Green Park Station on Sunday 15 November. The short films include College starring Buster Keaton and Jan Svankmajer’s Virile Games alongside others featuring ladies soccer, the Tour de France, skateboarding and freerunning.
