…In true Kino fashion, we bring you a great programme of new and recent short films including Darren Bolton’s award winning digital short from Yorkshire, the moving drama The Scent, and a repeat screening of the fabulously funny Dirty Egg, directed by new local talent Patrick Coyle and starring Perry Fitzpatrick (This is England ‘86), also starring Thomas Turgoose (This is England – Shayne Meadows).
As usual we will have DIRECTORS and PRODUCERS from the North West films present and they will partake in Q&A’s after their films, as well as a great networking session after the screening. Discussions this week will be hosted by John Robb, media commentator and punk rocker singer with Glodeblade.
