Brothers in arms

Another upcoming festival roundup for Boris-Noris (Laura-Beth Cowley's fantastic UWE MA film on which I made some unpleasant noises and removed some rigs) as it continues to knock it out of the park. This Monday, May 21st, the film screens at Albania's A-FestFilm (formerly Anifest Rozafa) in their Films for Age 13 programme that will kick off at 11:30am at the Millenium Cinema in Tirana.

From the 25th of this month La Boîte Carrée's touring programme Le Plein de Super  (whose 2018 season Boris-Noris is a part of) will kick off its first batch of screenings throughout France. The dates for this leg of the tour are:

• 25th May - Brissac-Quincé
• 2nd June - Étrich
• 8th June - Saint-Nazaire
• 15th June - Montbert
• 29th June - Ligné

The tour then resumes in July, this time traveling throughout Portugal at the following locales:

• 14th July - Ericeira
• 19th July - Alfarim
• 20th July - Lagoa de Albufeira
• 21st July - Quinta do Conde
• 22nd July - Sesimbra

For full information check out the tour's official website and if you make it to a screening be sure to send a postcard!

The Bristol Festival of Puppetry's specially-curated screening Women in Puppetry and Puppet Animation will be shown again in June, this time as a standalone event at Exeter Phoenix. As a nifty bonus for this one Laura-Beth will be in attendance for an onstage Q&A with Puppet Place curator Emma Windsor after the screening, which will be happening on Tuesday June 12th at 7:30pm - more info here.

The following weekend the Art All Night - Trenton International Film Festival will be taking place at New Jersey's historic Roebling Wire Works. This one is an intense, 200-film marathon that takes place entirely within 24 hours. Fortunately Boris-Noris will be screening at the civilised 12:05pm slot on the Sunday (June 17th).
That's all for now but there'll be plenty more a-comin', so stay alert.

Kid Friendly

Happy news for Spring - I've been informed that Laura-Beth and I will once again have our work screened at the same festival, this time in Hungary for Cinemira - Budapest International Children's Film Festival which takes place April 6th-8th. Both Klementhro and Boris-Noris will be screening in the Ages 10+ Section II programme that takes place 12pm on Sunday 8th at the Akvárium Klub. If you fancy swinging by you can grab yourself tickets here.

Boris-Noris will be racking up some more screening dates in the coming weeks and months as it finds itself going on another tour! As part of La Boîte Carrée's touring programme of sort-of silent films Le Plein de Super the short will be screening in various towns and cities in France and Portugal from next month on. In the meantime the first screening of the 2018 season will take place at the School of Fine Arts in Nantes this Thursday, April 19th. I'll post more dates as they come but in the meantime check out the tour's official site for more info.
