LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! RUSHES SOHO SHORTS SETS OFF WITH A BANG
The internationally acclaimed Rushes Soho Shorts Festival (www.sohoshorts.com) hosted its launch party at The Movieum last night, celebrating its 10th successful year bringing cutting edge short film to the heart of London.
The evening proved a great success with two great introductory speeches from festival director Joe Bateman, and managing director of Rushes and festival founder, Joce Capper. The evening was held amidst some of Hollywood’s best-known characters, with guests mingling with the likes of Superman and Star Wars’ R2-D2, in the former home of London’s Government, South Bank’s beautiful County Hall building.
This marks the start of ten fully-packed days, promoting exciting new film talent across all genres. There will be daily screenings in cinemas, clubs and bars around Soho, including Joseph Fiennes’ entrant, “Soldier” and up and coming director and newcomer, Dewi Bruce-Konuah, with his take on gun crime in short film, ‘Showdown’.
Renowned director of makeup artistry for MAC Cosmetics, Terry Barber teams up with film archivist Jenny Hammerton to unravel the mystic behind classic cinematic looks with their master-class on Saturday 26th, and the original singer/songwriter from Ultravox, John Foxx will be performing and giving a talk on Friday 25th at the Apple Store in Regents Street.
Rushes Soho Shorts Festival provides a great platform for the development of existing and emerging film talent and is not to be missed. The week will end on a high note, with the awards ceremony at Café De Paris - a red carpet night of celebrities, glitz and glamour to close the 2008 festival.

CF at the Werbeweischer Party
June 24, 2008
Cannes Fringe got exclusive access to the Werbeweischer Party again and spoke to the man himself Florian Weischer about Cannes 08 and the success of the German ad industry.
Speaking of German success we also happen to see the German football team do one over Ronaldo and his mates… 
Nice. Someone also tells us why the Germans are not only good a building cars and also have a sense of humor. Not so sure about that one.. Hell I am German but when it comes to funny ads you got to hand it to the British. But I take football anytime.
