The World Cinema Show with Marcella - 30 March 2011

Filmonik is an open screening platform for the North West’s independent filmmakers, be they Industry Professionals, self-styled Media Guerrillas, or relative novices still finding their creative voice. Emphasising resourcefulness and raw talent over polish and high production values, Filmonik provides an open door and a warm welcome for those making films with the minimum of means.

Filmmaking is the most technologically dependent of all art forms, and it is one of the objectives of Filmonik to provide an environment in which the normal barriers of film production are broken down. Collaboration is encouraged to the hilt, and screenings serve as a meeting place for individuals of all disciplines within film – writers, actors directors, musicians to name but a few. Filmonik also works to raise the aspirations and confidence of filmmakers who are at the start of their careers by providing the opportunity to receive feedback, advice and encouragement from individuals more experienced in the field.
