Exploding Cinema short film event at The Cinema Museum (10 JUN 19:30).

“Exploding Cinema presents a night of independent short films from animation to documentary, drama to CGI and experimental to just plain mental. Films from all over the world find their way into Exploding Cinema’s bag and this mixed bag is what will be screened tonight.”

“Exploding Cinema has been showing the latest in independent short film since 1991. Completely sponsor-free, open access and run by volunteers, they are the beating pulse of the film scene.”

“In addition to the film programme, there will be a free raffle, live musical performance, psychedelic lightshow projections and the usual unusual. Short films you won’t see anywhere else, in a location like none other.” (Exploding Cinema)
