Short & Sweet and Close-Up
Every MONDAY, Short films, music videos and animation from around the globe are screened -old films as well as new, from established directors to film makers that are completely undiscovered. The concept is to inspire all who attend, expose the best talent and ultimately celebrate film. Short & Sweet is the only film night in London, FREE to attend and is a great place to network. This is followed by Close-Up, which shows the best in modern and avant-garde feature-length movies from the last century. An excellent night of watching shorts and feature-lengths in the comfort of leather armchairs.

DYSMING MONADYS
CAN DYSLEXICS WRITE?
DYS(the)LEXI presents DYSMING MONADYS from 2 June to 24th November at The Troy Bar, Hoxton St, London.
DYSMING MONADYS is a mini festival celebrating a diverse group of dyslexic writers, poets and filmmakers, running every Monday of the month up until September and then every Monday of the week until November 24th, as part of Adult Dyslexia Awareness Week.
We believe that being diagnosed with dyslexia is not an embarrassment. Although people with dyslexia have problems with literary skills, organisation and other “left-brained” activities, they are often creative and imaginative, with stronger abilities on the right side of their brains than many other people.
With that in mind we are holding DYSMING MONADYS to encourage people with dyslexia to indulge their imaginations and prove to the world, and to themselves, that their dyslexia does not have to be a disadvantage.
We are calling all dyslexic creatives to get in contact, whether you are a playwright, performance poet, or a filmmaker, we want to hear from you. Please email dysthelexi@gmail.com for full submission guidelines.
Date: First Monday of the Month from 2 June - 29 September, then every Monday of the week until November 2008
Time: 7:00pm
Tickets: £5/4
Box Office: 0207 324 5591

creative writing workshops
the aim of these ongoing Wednesday workshops is to offer tools and support for emerging writers to develop their craft and knowledge-base, share ideas and receive critical feedback from workshop members, in a relaxed environment. This regular workshop is a weekly drop-in for new writers. Each week we address a different area of writing craftwork. The workshop incorporates instructive, creative and critical elements. There are generally several writing exercises, the results of which are shared with the group for helpful criticism; periodically we can also explore work generated outside of the group and offer critical feedback. The overall aim is to strengthen our writing skills, practise techniques with which we do not typically work, improve our artistic range, and so on. Sessions cost £5 including free tea and coffee, and are held on Wednesdays between 1830 and 2030. If you’re interested, you’re very welcome to join us; please email to workshops@nquentinwoolf.com to let us know you’ll be coming.
