Here we are again, eh? Another start to another week in another month that will go on and on until one of those predictions we’ve heard about end up being true and we all get cast into the fiery depths. Which, frankly, will be a nice change. Anyway, The Glasgow Film Festival is on! That’s something to raise your kilt about!

With the 8th annual London Short Film Festival done and dusted, Best For Film caught up with Ruth Paxton – winner of the festival’s UK Film Council award for Best Film.

The Salon des Refusés is a brand new London-based festivalette seeking to provide a space for short film makers who are, for whatever reason, rejected from larger events. We went along to the launch screening at Bermondsey’s marvellous Shortwave cinema and found a parade of cinematic oddities unlike anything we’d ever seen.

You! Yes, you! What are you doing today? What’s that – you’re going to Bloomsbury to attend the Swedenborg Society’s first ever short film festival? We thought so.
