\nDates:<\/B> 10-19 January 2014

\nVarious venues, London

The London Short Film Festival<\/A> has just announced its programme and it\u2019s packed with inventive and exciting events. The festival opens on January 10 with a screening of The Punk Singer<\/I><\/B> (presented in association with Birds Eye View Film Festival), a documentary about radical musician and activist Kathleen Hanna, of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, who embodies many of LSFF\u2019s ideals. <\/p>\n

Running from January 10 to 19, the festival has expanded to 32 programmes, including their regular strands (Femmes Fantastique, Left and Luscious), to which they\u2019ve added a Gothic and Grotesque<\/B> selection to tie in with the current BFI season, Celluloid Traces<\/B>, for experimental and documentary filmmakers working with film stock, and a late-night Thriller<\/B> programme. Retrospectives include renowned screenwriter Tony Grisoni<\/B> (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas<\/I>, Red Riding<\/I><\/A>) and animator Chris Shepherd<\/B>. As always the festival has numerous music-related events, including Lisa Gunning<\/B>\u2019s new Goldfrapp video project and a Music Video Showcase<\/B> playing for free in East London bars.<\/p>\n

At Electric Sheep we are particularly looking forward to the live visual and aural remix of Ben Wheatley\u2019s A Field in England<\/I><\/A> by category-defying electro-post-rock band Teeth of the Sea<\/B>, which promises to expand the psychedelic thrills of the film. The Ghost Box<\/B> record label, which impressed us at the Flatpack Festival in 2010<\/A>, will present one of their eerie visual and sonic shows, incorporating children\u2019s programmes, 1960s underground animation, abstract op-art and 1970s TV to create a brilliantly hallucinatory experience. We are also intrigued by the performance of harpist and songwriter Serafina Steer<\/B> in the magical Victorian surroundings of the Horniman Museum, alongside the work of animator Sam Steer.<\/p>\n

Watch out for the Teeth of the Sea\u2019s Film Jukebox in early January, in which the band discuss their 10 favourite films.<\/div>\n

The festival will also feature a Straight 8 filmmaking challenge, debates and discussions, as well as industry events. Always buzzing with energy and ideas, LSFF is a terrific way to start the filmic year.<\/p>\n
