Exploding Cinema

I headed to Exploding Cinema at London’s Cinema Museum in November, in part to support filmmaker Molly Brown who creates humorous animated shorts, often of the horror genre!

I first met Molly at Kino London where she seemed to have a new film every month, and always looked forward to watching her surreal shorts. At Exploding Cinema Molly screened This Mourning, a daytime TV show for the dead that was also enjoyable for the living too (and certainly a big improvement on real daytime TV)! This Mourning isn’t online but her other animations are, you can watch a selection on Vimeo.

It was good to catch the other shorts as well, and to explore the Cinema Museum a little in the dark.

Screening last May

In other related but old news, my short film A Version of Us also screened at Exploding Cinema back in May, although I wasn’t able to attend due to living in Sydney at the time. I still hope to screen this film on 16mm again as the digital version isn’t anywhere near as aesthetically pleasing - so let me know if you hear of 16mm screening opportunities.

Our stop motion collaboration with Paperbark will be screening with other amazing short films at the Exploding Cinema afterparty tonight in London!

"Closed down by Lambeth Council in the early 1990s due to cost-saving measures, [Brockwell Park] Lido was occupied by squatters in the summer of 1993, who lived in the disused changing rooms and offices around the pool. The abandoned site was used for parties, raves  and even an end-of-tour party for The Levellers, but the night I remember most was the incredible show put on by the Exploding Cinema in August ’93..."
