LAST FRIDAY SHORTS is a short film screening series taking place at TAP every last Friday of the month. Three of the filmmakers will also be present to introduce their work and answer any questions after the screening.
LAST FRIDAY SHORTS aims to present innovative and cross-disciplinary ways of working with the moving image and to initiate a discussion about the process of filmmaking, editing and presenting video work.
For information, updates, or if you have a short film that you’d like to suggest for one of the future screenings (we would love to hear from filmmakers based in and around Southend), please email michaela AT idea13.org.
