From The Silver Screen Presents: Live Screenings & Production Sponsorship

BI-ANNUAL LIVE LONDON SCREENINGS OF WORK SHOT ON FILM AND A PRODUCTION INITIATIVE TO SPONSOR SHORTS SHOT ON FILM

PRODUCTION SPONSORSHIP - THE PROCESSING TANK

We know that so many indie filmmakers adore the analog medium, and would love the opportunity to shoot a film in the “traditional” method. Whether it's the grainy aesthetic... the care and artistic process it demands... or whether it's simply a love for where the art of filmmaking began.

Part of our mission here at From The Silver Screen is to contribute to the revival and continuation of filmmakers’ accessibility to shoot on film. Therefore we are thrilled to have teamed up with Arri Rental, Kodak and Cinelab Film & Digital to provide the ultimate analog package for a filmmaking team. Together with these industry stakeholder companies we will sponsor up to three short films a year.

The Package:

- 5 days Arri Rental camera and lens hire package (inc. 1 day test shoot)
- 1600 ft (4 cans) 16mm Kodak film stock
- 1600ft of free processing at Cinelab Film & Digital plus a discount for extra film
- 6hrs of grading by a colourist at COMPANY 3
- Film festival and distribution strategy consultation with Natalie and Claire
- London live screening of the completed short

The Brief:

- All scripts must be 15 pages or under
- Treatment should include a logline, synopsis, any attached cast and crew, previous examples of the director/writer/ Producer’s work, motivation behind the project, target audience and a rough budget outline
- Maximum of three shooting locations
- Feasible shooting schedule of 5 days or under
- Applicants can be based anywhere but the project must be shooting in the UK

LIVE LONDON SCREENINGS - FILM ON FILM

We accept any style or genre of short film, so long as it is shot on film! From The Silver Screen is a newly launched company, celebrating all things film (that’s 8mm, 16mm, 35mm and 70mm - not digital!)

This company's mission is to bring together a community of creatives who share a passion for analog film. We want to screen fantastic work from people using this medium, and soon hope to develop work shot on film with filmmakers we connect with.

All four of our screenings thus far have been completely sold-out and a fantastic evening of shorts, filmmaker Q&As and networking.

The fifth edition of our live screenings of shorts shot on film will be in London in May.

From The Silver Screen started its journey in 2021, when we discovered that silver is a by-product of traditional photographic processing. We wanted to create something with this upcycled precious metal that revels in its provenance - for anyone with a passion for film, cinema, history and art.

Our first collection “Film Firsts” is now out, with five jewellery pieces inspired by the early milestones in the history of film. These pioneering ventures, in both content and technology, paved the way for the monumental cinema people from all over the world have since enjoyed. So… with all the jewellery being created from film processed silver, these items are pieces of film history, both literally and metaphorically!
