On Friday 5th August 2011 at Rich Mix in Shoreditch, the Cabinet of Living Cinema performed never-before-heard scores to a set of new and exciting short films by exceptional talent in front of a live audience.
We were thrilled to host the film tent at Wychwood Music Festival, an excellent little festival in Cheltenham showcasing the best in national and local talent with an eclectic range of music, workshops and performing arts. Our corner of the festival featured a host of short film showreels, features, documentaries and live AV events, celebrating in particular the exciting interplay between music and film.
Making Tracks is a groundbreaking platform on which to showcase up-and-coming filmmaking talent. In a collaboration with The Cabinet of Living Cinema, the idea is simple: we seek out top quality short films, strip them of their original soundtracks and The Cabinet rescore them live on the night.
Following on from our successful comedy night in March, Whirlygig Cinema took Whirlygiggles to the East End Film Festival on Monday 2nd May. This formed part of their Movie MayDay; a free mini fringe festival celebrating film in all its forms, across 88 venues in London's East End.
Diverting temporarily from our usual film-versus-music style, in March we decided to take on the strange and immersive world of comedy through a range of sketches, mockumentaries and animations. This took place in the Horse Hospital on 11th March, and enjoyed a thrilling response from a very receptive audience.
In January 2011, Whirlygig cinema repeated their popular Making Tracks event as part of London Short Film Festival. It presented a mixture of films; some from December, some from past and present LSFF filmmakers and a couple of brand new ones!
On Thursday 9th December 2010, Whirlygig Cinema hosted its second event, Making Tracks. This event presented an exciting collection of films by up-and-coming filmmakers (programmed by us!) with new scores performed live by The Cabinet of Living Cinema.
Whirlygig Cinema’s first event was at Pangea Project, Stamford Hill, London. The event was a huge success with the bar filled to capacity.
