Tuesday 17th February
8:30pm Start
The Showroom Cinema Main Bar, Paternoster Row, Sheffield S1 2BX
February's Showroom Shorts is a programme with a lot of different elements, from documentaries, to a period piece, to a bit of magic realism, to animation and more!
Check out a fascinating doc about a 2000 year old yew tree, or a drama showing a young woman's struggle to survive in today's landscape, or how about a cool short about a Sheffield man who's building really cool guitars!
There's really something for everyone in this month's showcase of shorts! The filmmakers will also be there to introduce their films and have a chat with Rob Speranza, the event host and leader of the SYFN. and introduce them.
Come join us - it's a great way to do some networking and meet filmmakers who are actively making films, right here in our region!
We will be raffling off some cinema tickets, posters and film memorabilia as well - you can get tickets for £1 each or £4 for a strip of five!
Best of all it's still a free event to attend! No tickets required!
