London Short Film Festival and BAFTA Present: Mark Herbert and Warp Films

Princess Anne Theatre, 195 Piccadilly
Warp Films is one of the true success stories of British cinema in recent years and 2011. From the earliest short films produced by the erstwhile music label like Chris Morris’ BAFTA winning, My Wrongs 8245-8249 & 117 and Chris Cunningham’s Rubber Johnny, it was clear they would champion original cinematic vision and not shy away from taking risks. Warp Films has remained true that that original spirit, developing and supporting exciting new talent, while also helping debunk the myth that British audiences don’t want to see British films. They’ve steadily built a brand and an audience with independent-minded quality films like Tyrannosaur, Four Lions, Kill List, Submarine and This is England (and the spin off TV series). Illustrated with a selection of clips and short films, we’ll quiz Warp Films CEO and Producer Mark Herbert about how they find and develop new talent and explore the vision for the future of the label.
