Every Final Cut held at the lovely Komedia plays host to a monthly film-roundup of short films from 'Brighton, Britain and around the world.' Today's show sees a massive round-up of films in a dramatically titled 'Film of the Year Show'. If ever there was a time to have a break from Hollywood and put some faith in Final Cut's choice in short-films, this would probably be it.
Unsurprisingly Final Cut reckons it's been dealt some "absolute gems this year and picking the creme de la creme from 12 months of superb shorts has been particularly difficult." As the biggest screening event of its kind and one of the most sucessful in the UK, we suspect they know what they're talking about when they say this.
In a mix of desperate assassination plots, romance and autopsy, experiments, illustration, beards, and shark obsessions, there's a serious mix of genres. I quite like the sound of the un-categorisable 'The Impossibility of Being an Apple.' Films vary from 4 minutes to 18 minutes and there's eleven for your viewing pleasure. You can locate a full viewing list on the Final Cut site here and we really quite recommend this one.
They also advise the wearing of Santa hats, although we aren't sure how metaphorical this is.
Final Cut is on at Komedia tonight only, and tickets are £4 available only at the door. You can find directions to Komedia on Gardner Street here.
