Screentest – The
National Student Film Festival

This month sees one
of the most notable platforms for student film making return to London’s South
Bank for its 7^th edition.

Dedicated to the exhibition and promotion of aspiring
British talent, Screentest runs from the 22^nd to the 24^th
of March, and has this year received a record number of submissions. As well as
talks and networking opportunities with industry professionals, the festival
brings workshops and a bulging programme of young film making.

Special events include a screening of the BAFTA nominated
short The Voorman Problem (main
picture), starring Martin Freeman
and followed by a Q&A with Film Adviser Will Massa, The Student Crap Film Club, where those in attendance
are encouraged to submit their worst work, Fund that Film, which is an
interactive workshop discussing how to get finance for your projects, and an
open mic night on the 24^th where you can show you new or old short
films.

The film programme itself is broken up into genre each with
their own 90 minutes segment. Whether you fancy a Grin and Tonic with the
weekend’s comedy segment, a bit of horror, animation, or something more
experimental, the festival has a bit of everything. With titles like It’s Ok to be Ginger, The Zombie
Rehabilitation Project and The
Karate Kid Complex, expect whatever you decide to attend to be out of the
ordinary.
