Festival: Raindance and Resfest

This year’s Raindance Film Festival has been brought forward a week to avoid any clash with the audience-sapping London Film Festival.

Sep 27 2004

12th Raindance Film Festival
UGC Shaftesbury Ave, Oct 1-10
This year’s Raindance Film Festival has been brought forward a week to avoid any clash with the audience-sapping London Film Festival, which should see more people come out to support its celebration of independent cinema.

Highlights include Catherine Breillat’s Anatomy of Hell; the London premiere of Dead Man’s Shoes by Shane Meadows; Cannes prize-winners Oldboy and Clean; and Richard Jobson’s The Purifiers. Among the documentaries are The Yes Men by the directors of American Movie, in which two activists pose as members of the WTO, and End of the Century, Jim Fields and Michael Gramaglia’s acclaimed and increasingly poignant film about the Ramones.

Resfest
NFT, Sep 30-Oct 3
This year’s edition of the globe-trotting digital film festival looks busier than ever. The agenda spans three progs of shorts, five or six of music videos (including specials on the Shynola quartet, the Super Furry Animals, Warp Records and Jonathan Glazer, who’ll be on stage for an interview), a motion graphics showcase (By Design), panels and parties. The Sunday comes with a political bent: Dubya-dissent in Bushwacked, a preview of monster doc The Corporation and a seminar on The Year of the Documentary.

Dead Man's Shoes: Full review and interview with director Shane Meadows in Time Out London - Sept 29-October 6 2004. Issue No.1780.
