A unique audio-visual experience at the New Islington Festival. Sat 6 Sep. 2pm-6pm. Comma Film and Kiosk Gallery join forces to present an all-day programme of Manchester-generated short film and photography, new portfolios and specially commissioned literary adaptations... all neatly boxed off in the most mobile of spaces (a shipping container-turned-cinema!). Featuring the best of Comma's adaptation work and three specially commissioned premieres. Filmmakers include award-winning MMU graduate Kate Jessop (recently short-listed for the prestigious Virgin Media Shorts Prize), Gwen Osmond (filmmaker-in-residence with The Ting-Tings), and up-and-coming animator Lisa Risbec. Featuring the stories of David Constantine, Tim Cooke and CD Rose, and the poetry of over 20 writers from the region. Old Mill Street, New Islington, Manchester.
