Night Vision 27th/28th June 2009 The Blog



Beatnik TV Night Vision Has started! Sunday Morning was absolutely fantastic Thank you to everyone who came down to the nexus Night cafe to check out what we had to offer. We screened 30 short films and animations over the night from filmmakers like Chim lee, Underoath Productions, Remma-Lemma, Dan Finlayson who made us  our opening Beatnik TV intro, Plus even more. The standard of submissions has been incredible and already we have had some awesome stuff sent to us for the next one in July's event.




We also had an appearances from Frank sidebottom who was a true star and kept everyone entertained when we suffered a technical difficulty but once that was fixed the event wen off with out a hitch. Franks also brought a few of his and Remma-Lemma's films including a film documenting the work of artist Mark Kennedy (who came along to nexus) about making the mosaics out side afflecks in Manchester's northern Quarter close to where the screening was held.

fabienne who runs the night cafe was really cool and helped out loads as well as adding her own touches to the event supplying guest with fresh Popcorn and even Popcorn Tea and making the venue look Fantastic as well. Fabienne also made arrangements for a film crew to call in who were working on a project about filming events ... and how nice were they! very nice in deed it fit in to what we are doing very well. once there film is finished we will get it up for all you guys and girls to see. and i cant wait to see that!

It was 4am when the event finished and dawn was creeping upon us so we ended with Dan Finlayson's film Goodnight Moon.

The Date for the July event has not yet been confirmed but should be at the end of the month, and i hope you all can make it down for a good chill out and watch some amazing films

Just want to say Thank you to everyone who had work shown we love all your work your all truly talented People.
