This event will be for people to meet, go off and film, come back and enjoy the results. Whatever you want to do, be it film, act, direct or even just sort of hang around at the back then this is the event for you! MEET AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE NATIONAL THEATRE. If you are wondering what this group can provide for you, it’s above all else friendship with other like minded people, whether you are a screenwriter, director, cameraperson, actor etc etc. With that in mind, on Saturday we will do the following: 1. We’ll meet at the National Theatre on Southbank. 2. We’ll split into two groups (or more if needed) 3. Each team will try and beat the other teams to a pub in EC1 in London and edit (maybe) the film. BUT 4. Each team must make a 2 minute 30 seconds film on the way with a beginning middle and end, a solid story arc for the main character, etc. Remember to bring: 1. You and your enthusiasm 2. A camera (iPhones dslrs whatever) 3. Someone willing to do an edit after we arrive back at the on their computers All teams will then meet-up at a pub in EC1 and watch what we have filmed, happy with what they have learnt! The first team that finishes gets a Small Prize! Hopefully then, you will stick around to have a great time chatting about film, meeting new people, and forgetting about work until the late hours. Look forward to seeing you there!

QueerHub Film Festival

QueerHub Film Festival

Sat, May 23, 3:30 PM
From QueerHub Film Festival

QueerHub presents its first film session — an intimate and curated gathering focused on queer storytelling, connection, and shared experience. The event brings together a selection of short films and a relaxed space for conversation, where audiences and creatives can meet, exchange ideas, and engage beyond the screen. Rather than a traditional festival format, this is about creating a more personal and open environment for dialogue and discovery. This is the starting point of a growing community — a space to connect, collaborate, and explore new voices in film. Venue - London LGBTQ+ Community Center
