Cinebooth and the Arthouse Cinema have teamed up to celebrate short films, writes Kinga Plata

A short film distributor is teaming up with a Crouch End cinema to bring opportunities for filmmakers and independent short productions.

Cinebooth and the Arthouse Cinema came together to celebrate short films by bringing independent cinema from around the world to Crouch End.

As a “pioneering platform” dedicated to showcasing short movies on the big screens, Cinebooth gives independent artists an opportunity to submit their productions through FilmFreeway or Festhome.

Harry Woodford, founder of Cinebooth, said: “We recognised the unique potential of our short film roster and the Arthouse’s engaged audience. Our collaboration evolved naturally, and it continues to hold immense value as an ideal stepping stone for Cinebooth’s impact on the independent short film industry.”

David Mansell, venue manager at Arthouse, commented: “Cinebooth’s dedication to the art of short films is commendable, and the Arthouse Cinema is delighted to partner with them to bring fresh cinematic experiences to our audience. This collaboration enables us to present an eclectic and engaging selection of shorts that celebrates the creativity and beauty of filmmaking.”

So far, the collaboration has successfully hosted several bi-monthly screenings, with the next event scheduled for Wednesday, 25th September.

Vlad-Paul Ghilas, head of PR and marketing at Cinebooth, said: “Many renowned feature films began as short films, yet they often don’t receive the recognition they deserve. Our partnership with Arthouse Cinema aims to change that by celebrating the art of short films and empowering filmmakers. By giving shorts the spotlight on the big screen, we’re honouring their vital role in the film industry and acknowledging the incredible potential they hold.”
