Not just films

Hello!!
This Festival is not only about films! As you know there're other things going on...and I've decided to list them here so you take a quick look.

June the 1st
We start! So we have an opening party with live music
from the band Duke for industry professionals and press.


June the 2nd
17:00 - Panel discussion: Independent Production
How do North American independent films get made? Or financed? In an environment with no Film Council or National Lottery, indie filmmakers are obliged to be entrepreneurial in production. In this panel discussion, directors from the Declaration FilmFest discuss their path from concept, to screen, to international festival.

Where: Horse Hospital - 30 Colonnade, London, WC1N 1JD - 020 78333644

19:15 - Screening and Music Life of the documentary: Before The Music Dies
In Before The Music Dies, the filmmakers issue a call for a return to real music, made by real musicians. Our special event features a screening of the documentary followed by live acoustic performances from exciting emerging artists. Presented in association with City Showcase, London’s leading festival for new music.
Where: Horse Hospital

June the 3rd
17:00 - Panel discussion: Independent Distribution
Once you’ve made your movie, how do you get it out to that all-important audience? If the conventional channels to the screen are closed, then what can the indie filmmaker do? Our directors discuss the innovative methods by which they have been challenging the orthodoxy, and taking their films directly to the people. Please check our website for up-to-date information on participants.

June the 5th
18:00 - Screening and panel discussion about the documentary
We’ll Take Care of You
We’ll Take Care of You is a savage indictment of drug companies, and their methods of doing business. Serious questions are raised about their promotional tactics and their undue influence over doctors and over the regulatory bodies charged with protecting the public. In a special screening and panel discussion, doctor and journalist Ben Goldacre, author of the Guardian’s Bad Science column, will lead a panel of medical professionals in addressing the issues raised in the film, and their implications for the British public.

Ndubz', whose latest single 'Better Not Waste My Time' has been enjoying extensive exposure on radio and TV.
