Last night (24th) we had the first view of the short film by Jon Randle and Hugh Robinson. Once again another great night at Fishbone...The dark gallery was set up as a mini cinema and upstairs as before became the social area. It was a great opportunity for Corinna and Kev to have yet another mass of people seeing their work. Corinna came along, which was great, Kev couldn't make it up from London which was a shame as he would have loved the three (4 if also count 'CatKong') films shown. It was decided to have two showings as the first view was so packed with people - great if your 6ft8! - not so much if you a bit smaller. Having the two showings was a good idea as the second, shown a few hours later was less manic and enabled late arrivals a chance to see all the films
Hugh brought along his kids which made for a family feel - although his young son complained about having to watch the film again - 'not again - didn't like last time' kids are the greatest of critics!!...having the kids there gave Jeff and I a seed of an idea, which once we've investigated will tell more of. I do now know, however that the success of the evening will make for a regular slot of movie nights - short original films - possibly every month. So keep an eye on the news to see what is going on.
The films shown last night were:'Mid-table Mediocrity'(Mind Riot Productions), 'EGG' written by Brian Harley and featuring Alan Wales, and 'Invasion' by Neil Westwood (Nebula Films@dsl.pipex.com). Nebula also showed a sneak preview of 'CatKong'

Fishbone Gallery
- Who, What, Where, are Fishbone Gallery ?
- Longford, Coventry, United Kingdom
- The Fishbone Gallery is something of a rarity. A gallery committed to promoting the diversity of the visual arts of the West Midlands, that supports new artists and encourages them to show work that otherwise might not receive the attention it deserves. We are not primarily a profit making enterprise, and therefore we can afford to show experimental work that would never gain proper exposure through commercial channels. We also host a wide range of community projects and events, clubs and classes, run by specialist practitioners with thorough knowledge of their particular disciplines. We welcome all people of all ages and all cultural backgrounds, to come along and be part of what we do. Our mission is to make art and art practise an integral part of the lives of the people of Longford, and to encourage a broader audience for the visual arts in Coventry and the West Midlands. The gallery is run by Judy Kay and Jeff Hatt
