The projector with teeth returns from Saturday to Curzon Soho (and three other London venues) with a new identity and a new name. After four years the Halloween Short Film Festival emerges as the London Short Film Festival, still proud to be the edgiest film festival in the UK, with a punk rock mentality in its uncompromising vision to bring the best of film and music across 10 days of screenings and multi-media mayhem.

Four short films not directed by Harmony Korine, Terence Malick, Andrei Tarkovsky, or John Cassevetes but the influences of these auteur filmmakers can definitely be seen and felt in the powerful and original four films on show in this programme. Sean Conway’s ALEX AND HER ARSE TRUCK takes us on a surreal journey with nymphomaniacs and drug dealing lesbians, while Scott Graham’s SHELL takes us to the wide open remote spaces of Scotland in a story of loneliness and escape. Jonathan Stewart’s MIRRORS gives us a lone man’s pained journey across an empty landscape to redemption, while Jason Yi’s FLATSHARE comes on like an improvised loose riff with a group of bickering students in low rent accommodation. See Feedback 2 for a panel event connected with this screening.

Wednesday, 9 Jan
A showcase of the next generation of D.I.Y auteurs for whom filmmaking is a more rounded, personal process as opposed to clear-cut, traditional film making roles, for those who produce, write, direct, shoot and edit or written the music and acted in it too! Created by Lucia Helenka, a London based artist and filmmaker and supported by Vauxhall, the competition will showcase undiscovered, talented filmmakers with a strong personal vision and hands on approach to filmmaking. This third VX Auteur Theory invites and challenges cross disciplined filmmakers to prove they are the ones to watch, following in the footsteps of last year’s winners Simon Ellis with his film A STORM AND SOME SNOW and Greg Butler with his film A MOUSE FUNERAL. The judges for the 3rd VX Auteur Theory will include filmmaker Asif Kapadia (THE WARRIR, FAR NORTH) and actress Natalie Press (MY SUMMER OF LOVE, RED ROAD, WASP). The award ceremony will take place in the Curzon bar immediately following the screening. www.vxcollective.co.uk

AMERICAN HARDCORE is a new documentary film about the history and origins of American punk rock music from 1980 to 1986. Generally unheralded at the time, the early 1980s hardcore punk rock scene gave birth to much of the rock music and culture that followed. There would be no Nirvana, Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers were it not for hardcore pioneers such as Black Flag, Bad Brains and Minor Threat. Hardcore was more than music – it was a social movement created by Reagan-era misfit kids. The participants constituted a tribe unto themselves – some finding a voice, others an escape in the hard-edged music. And while some sought a better world, others were just angry and wanted to raise hell. AMERICAN HARDCORE traces this lost subculture, from its early roots in 1980 to 1986.
