N21 Film Festival – Day 4: Dreams of a Life
6 July 2012, by Katie HoganAs I walked up the red carpet and was directed into the church hall behind United Reformed Church in Winchmore Hill, I knew this was going to be unlike any other film festival I’d attended. The atmosphere of the festival was one of “community”. Everyone seemed to know each other and even though I was technically an outsider I felt very much part of this community. The setting was very unconventional right down to the seating; ordinary church hall chairs transformed into festival seating (...) -

Day 3 N21 festival

Greying scout masters serve the wine, and eats take the shape of red fairy cakes with coiffures curling an inch high. Most of the screenings are accompanied by film-maker talks. Last night was a Future Shorts screening with enjoyable pieces from Scotland and Korea, dealing with lost Vikings and adulterous parents respectively. Wednesday and (...) -

18 June 2012, by Sophia FreemanSituated in leafy Winchmore Hill, the N21 Film Festival - part of the N21 Festival, launched for the first time this year, kicking off Saturday night with a screening of Joe Dante’s late nineties horror comedy - ‘The Burbs’. The first thing you notice about Winchmore Hill is its ‘village’ feel. Upon leaving the train station (which has no gates - presumably because there aren’t many fare jumpers in the local area) you are confronted with the village green - where earlier in the day, as (...) -
