o-region screening network

Following on from our hugely successful screening previous projects, Futureshorts and Roughcut, o-region is pleased to announce its most ambitious film screening project yet - the 2008 o-region screening network.

We've always wanted to be able to build all our screening activities into an integrated whole, but we've never quite had the resources (or the cash!). But now, thanks to some great support we've recently received from UCF and South West Screen, at long last we've managed to bring all our screening events together one concentrated, streamlined sexed-up cinematic calendar for the next twelve months.

Our annual programme includes the relaunch of Futureshorts Cornwall, bringing Cornish audiences a monthly programme of world-class shorts from the innovative Futureshorts label. Even better, we're now screening in three separate locations around the county, meaning more people will have access to the events than ever before.

We've also reinvented our very own screening project, roughcut, which will now be presented every quarter. Cornwall's original short film showcase is still dedicated to showing the work of new and emerging directors, but now things are livened up with top local bands, music, DJs and secret events. More essential than ever!

We're also presenting o-region's debut feature film, The Midnight Drives, in a series of special one-off screenings around the county - starting on April 10th at the Plaza Cinema in Truro.

And as if that's not enough, we've also taken over the franchise for the Best of the Fest screenings, where you can catch the cream of the crop from the 2007 Cornwall Film Festival, presented in one bumper evening screening.

So that's it - the o-region screening network. world-class shorts. cinematic parties. top new directors. film challenges. feature screenings. essential viewing.
