SATURDAY 6th
ALPHA-VILLE PRESENTS UNFINITY PROGRAMME – Hackney Picturehouse, 270 Mare Street, Hackney, London, E8 1HE – 4:15pm – £8
Alpha-ville have got a showcase of some cracking looking short-films ranging from animation and documentary to music video and experimental. The programme focuses on how technology affects art and society, and the films, as I said, look really, really, really… nice.

TUESDAY 9th
SPOTLIGHTS – Trangallan, Newington Green, Stoke Newington, London, N16 9PX – 7:30pm – £5 / £4 Adv
Whirlygig are back with the 4th installment of their Spotlights event. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Spotlights celebrates the work of up-and-coming filmmakers, with tonight’s programme featuring Peter Bunzl, Rebecca Marshall and Mikey Please. Why don’t we use the phrase ‘down-and-going’ for people who are failing, like the way we say ‘up-and-coming’? There’s something for you to chew on.
