Salon des Refusés
16 Jan 2011, 17:30
Shortwave Cinema
Tickets are free and will be available on the door only.
Salon des Refusés is a new experiment in film curation with a simple philosophy: they only screen short films that have been rejected by other film festivals.
As part of the LSFF, the Salon will be putting together a programme of short films that were submitted to but not accepted by the LSFF. Their aim is to highlight the subjectivity of the programming process and destabilise the notion that there are “good” shorts (which appear at festivals) and “bad” shorts (which don’t). The Salon celebrates the diversity of the short film format and offers an alternative space for its exhibition, as a challenge to the standard festival shorts programme.
Full programme information will be available in December on this site and www.salondesrefuses.org.uk
