Film maker team Harold and David Chapman outside the Ritzy Cinema, Brixton where their short film “Invisible” was playing amongst ‘New Shorts: Not the Skin I Live In – Black & Asian Stories’. The screening was followed by a Q & A with the directors, all of whom were present. There are two screenings of “Invisible” and “Sweep” during the course of the festival which runs from Friday the 6th to Sunday the 14th of January at various venues and cinemas around London.
Harold Chapman has a new story headlining in the Arbuturian. “Brown Lake” is his first piece of prose fiction to be published. It is set on the East Coast of Australia and is about a boy’s obsession with swimming… He’s also illustrated it in a new style. Hope you enjoy!
”Invisible” and “Sweep” have both been selected to screen at the London Short Film Festival in January. This is the third time after the British Urban Film festival and Sapporo that both films have shared the same bill. A great thrill to be screening once more on home territory, in the city that the films were inspired by and made in.
Harold Chapman just got back from Interfilm 27th Berlin International Film Festival where “Invisible” was screening in the ‘Confrontations’ competition – films against violence and intolerance. I had the great honour of sharing the same bill with renowned Iranian director Janaf Panahi whose film “The Accordion” was his second last before he was imprisoned by the Iranian government for the ideas expressed in his work.
A fantastic festival though with work of the highest calibre. I met film makers from Argentina, Canada, America, Hong Kong, The Philippines, Norway, France, Latvia and Lebanon. A great celebration of film and film makers.
Harold Chapman has a new story headlining in the Arbuturian. “The Broken King” is a tale of rattling cappuccino cups and dropped croissants amongst Hampstead’s urban haute bourgeois…
