Welcome to Shot by the Sea -
Hastings Film Festival
25 July - 1 August 2008
Introduction
The Electric Palace is delighted to present Shot by the Sea 2008. In this exciting 7th year the festival explores the fascinating theme of Journeys. From immersive 3-D installations, moving image work in 3 galleries to big screen cinematic experiences under the stars, we draw together local and international talent to celebrate the journeys made possible by film and moving image.
Shot by the Sea offers feature films, a two day film conference, a magical audio tour and a range of outstanding short films. This year we have an open-air event in the grounds of Hastings Museum and Art Gallery with the band Minima performing a live soundtrack in an audacious, interpretation of the cult film The Cabinet of Dr Calligari.
Join with friends for the 5Day Film Challenge and create a masterpiece. The winning film will be premiered at the open-air Big Beach screening, where you can don your best outfit and party-on down to enjoy one of the world's most flamboyant road movies - The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert. We hope you will join us in this ever expanding experience of film and experimental moving image.
Enjoy!
Rebecca and Rachel and the fabulous Electric Palace team.
