Unless you are a complete stranger to this blog (in which case, hallo, have a seat, lovely of you to drop in), you will be well aware that last year my brother and I took part in the Vauxhall Branchage 48hr Filmmaking Challenge.

The five films made in the competition have been available to watch online for the past month or so at Mishorts and you have until tomorrow to watch them and vote for them.

This deadline is looming above us because next Monday night, January 11th, all the films will be shown at the Roxy Bar and Screen in London Bridge and the winner will be announced and forcibly awarded a thousand pounds of actual money.

Mishorts have done a tremendous job of spreading the films into people’s minds and they’ll remain online long after the LSFF has packed up for the year. But, trust me, the joy of the Branchage Challenge was that these films were made by filmmakers and they deserve to be seen in a cinema. Startlingly original, compelling, beautiful, odd and utterly breathless it’s a programme curated by good fortune alone and you won’t regret coming down.
