Interview: Bob Robinson

Thu 11 Dec 2014

Born in County Tyrone, Bob Robinson has called Nottingham home for the last forty-odd years. It’s here he’s created work that is equally bold, humorous and grotesque, yet has gained little recognition.

Rough Trade Open Up In Nottingham

Wed 10 Dec 2014

Bang! Short Film Festival Is Calling It A Day

Thu 27 Nov 2014

Short films are perfect. Perfect for the filmmaker wanting to showcase what they can do, perfect for the YouTube generation struggling to concentrate on anything for more than an hour, perfect for creating some of the most diverse film festivals out there. Bang! Short Film Festival started off small but, as the digital age took hold and their audiences got bigger, it grew into a beast of a festival. Unfortunately, after fifteen years of filling Broadway’s screens with bite-sized reels, they’ve called it a day. We get all nostalgic and look at what the festival meant to filmmakers and audiences alike...
