Screening

Hello,

More last minute smokey city activities from me. If you’re about later lovely old pals Slinky Pictures are showcasing some Vis Com animation and music at Cafe Kick in Shoreditch, and there’s table football too so you can’t complain, ok?

 

“Kick favourites, Slinky Pictures are back by popular demand with their free short film night, Kicking and Screening. 
This cocktail of live action and animated shorts features the work of Johnny Barrington, Esther May Campbell, Gregor Dashuber and Joseph Mann. Plus musical guest Crazy Girl and a special screening of Joseph Mann’s new short ‘The Chimney Sweep’ with live musical accompaniment by composer Jonathan Smith.

Curated and hosted by Chris Shepherd.”
