This year the Shepton Digital Festival is delighted to be working in partnership with Aardman. David Sproxton is on the judging panel for our competition and Jim Parkyn and Merlin Crossingham will impart their wisdom and share skills at their free workshops.
Inspired by the quote given by David during an interview for the Festival we decided to take the opportunity to create an 'Inspire' Cinema.
This Cinema will be open to the public at the old Chantry TV shop at the Haskins Retail Park, Shepton Mallet High Street during the Festival and will show films made by some of the best short film, commercial and pop promo makers in the industry including films from Aardman, Icon Films, Frome TV and independent filmmaker Andrew Griffin.
The Inspire Cinema is a cinema with a twist. The films on show are the personal projects of the featured directors. Often directors are best known for their commercial work but often they make films, commercials and pop promos in their own time these often explore new technologies and express more artistic (non-commercial) creative ideas.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to view these rarely viewed hidden treasures. A must see for all aspiring young film makers, creatives and film lovers.
The Inspire Cinema is part of a packed programme of inspirational workshops and music events on offer at The Shepton Digital Arts Festival.
