The Sergei Paradjanov Festival in London and Bristol is the first major celebration of the legendary artist and filmmaker whose talent transcends religious and political boarders, drawing on the cultural traditions of Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine and Russia. The Festival aims to present the life and works of Sergei Paradjanov to UK audiences through a series of diverse events that include: a film season; a symposium and workshops at the BFI Southbank; a photographic exhibition at the National Theatre; screenings at Ciné Lumière; a series of talks at Pushkin House; a concert at St. Yeghiche Armenian Church; a film retrospective at Arnolfini (Bristol); and a photographic exhibition at The Bristol Gallery.

There are places available on the Higher National Certificate Media Course (Creative Sound and Vision) at South Thames College, Wandsworth. This is a 1 year part-time course where students will study 16mm film, digital video and sound. They have Steenbeck and Final cut Pro editing, digital and 16mm film cameras etc. This course is geared towards experimentation and the focus is on developing creativity whilst enabling students to acquire a wide range of skills. There is also a small theory element to the course which relates directly to the practice elements.

Close-Up Repertory Cinema runs on a weekly basis through a series of films which provide an overview of the art of cinema and its history. Along with the repertory collection we organise regular film events to support and develop the access to experimental cinema, showing rare and unseen films in the UK.
