Plug: 2008 Student Film Showcase- 6:15pm, Tuesday 3rd June 2008

A screening of films produced by final year undergraduate students at the University of Glamorgan’s brand new Cardiff building, the ATRiuM. It promises to be an exciting and varied programme, with a mixture of drama and documentary shorts from a variety of genres.

The evening also includes a prize giving ceremony for the best film and a post-screening gathering – a chance to meet the filmmakers. Tickets are free at the Chapter box office.

Screening: Monday 2nd June 2008

We'll be showing something at 6:30pm.

Dai does trains. Dai does books. Dai even does Special Laser Tactical Attack Squad. But Dai has never done love... until now. A beautiful girl moves in next door and our hapless valley commando sets about winning her heart. Must love be so complicated for a man so simple?

Last time at Chapter MovieMaker: May medley

For those who were unable to attend, here's what you missed:

1) Dave Beynon revealed The People Behind The Animals in a making-of doc for Ryan Hooper's forthcoming The Hidden Animals;
2) Wito Werner urged us to Meet Paul Davies in his documentary about a local snooker professional;
3) Dafydd Weeks brought his Little Pig, an experimental porcine short;
4) June Campbell-Davies' carefully plotted Escape blended noir with elements of dance;
5) Anthony James gave us The Big Pitch, his winning promo for the Movie Mogul Fund then concluded the evening with his short comedy Tomorrow Never Dais.

And much fun was had by all.

Pavel Petchko's Don't Dream It - winner of the Jury Prize from Movie Mogul Fund's Viral Filmmaking competition - popped up:



And finally, James Plumb presented a pair of music videos for Don't Tread on Spiders. And much fun was had by all.
