Halloween Special this week!
Local, award winning filmmaker Frazer Lee will be our special guest at our Halloween special on Thursday 29th October. Frazer will introduce his horror short, ‘On Edge‘ and do a Q&A session afterwards. This is your chance to find out about what goes on behind the scenes from one of Britain’s up-and-coming directors. An opportunity not to be missed!
And we’re off!
Crystal Palace Pictures got off to a flying start last Thursday with a screening of Chris Shepherd’s ‘The Broken Jaw’ and Martin McDonagh’s ‘In Bruges’. We were lucky enough to have Chris come along to introduce his film and answer a few questions afterwards. Entertaining everyone with tales of getting in to the business (The Broken Jaw was his professional debut) and abandoned Liverpool pubs, I’m sure this is not the last we’ve seen of Chris!
We’d like to thank everyone who came along for making it such a top night with a really lovely atmosphere. Feedback was excellent. Comments included, “Great night!”, “Good venue” and“Great start! Can I move to Crystal Palace?” With your support we can go from strength to strength.
Hope to see you on the 15th for The Third Man!
Starting as we mean to continue
Starting as we mean to continue, we kick off with a short film called ‘The Broken Jaw’ about the changing fortunes of a pub over the decades, introduced by writer and director Chris Shepherd. He’ll also be around to answer any questions afterwards.
We see short films as an important part of what we do and, wherever possible, we will try to get the filmmakers along to talk about their work. Crystal Palace Pictures is about more than just watching a movie. It’s about learning more about films, discussing them and the issues they raise.
Setting the world of cinema to rights in a pub? What could be better?
The website goes live
Our new website is finally live!
We’ve kept the initial site quite simple so that you can easily find your way around. Over time, we’ll be adding lots of exciting features such as a blog, a searchable index of all the films in our programme and possibly even a forum where you can discuss everything film.
If you have any ideas on what you’d like to see on the site, let us know with an email:hello@crystalpalacepictures.com
Don’t forget that you can also follow us on Twitter, and we have a Facebook group where you can chat with likeminded film buffs. The links are at the top and bottom of every page. See you there!
