Past IFT Events
04.05.2011 - The Independent Film Trust has teamed up with Sheepish Productions to organise a pre-Cannes Film Festival social event.
We will be screening a selection of the best of the short films screened at the Raindance Film Festival, and there will be plenty of time to network and socialise over a delicious Italian buffet.
For everybody, especially those going to the Cannes, this offers a great opportunity to find out more about our organisations. It will also raise funds for the IFT. If you have a film seeking distribution, sale or exposure but do not have the time and/or money to go to Cannes, please come along with some DVDs and we can see whether one of our organisastions can help.
The networking event will be accompanied on keyboards by the highly-talented Denis Fernando and there will also be at least one surprise appearance by a special guest who will perform and then take questions in a Q/A session
Venue: Chinawhite Club, London, UK

15.04.2011 - On the 15th of April, 2010, the IFT invited its friends to a screening of short films made by the participants of the Vision Shorts run by Portugal Prints, in partnership with the Raindance organisation, and co-funded by the IFT and Westminster Mind.
The screening at the Apollo cinema in London was attended by Councillor Harvey Marshall, representing the Lord Mayor of the City of Westminster, as guest of honour.
Vision Shorts was an eight-week course for about 10 individuals aged 18 to 65, which ran for about four hours each Thursday and was led by Elliot Grove, the founder of Raindance. It involved a general, basic introduction to the film-making process, from planning to storyboarding, shooting and editing.
Read more about Vision Shorts in a special feature in The Guardian, 13.4.2010.
