The very lovely people at Kino London have added a report on their August screening, that featured SAY SOMETHING, STUPID.

Pat Kelman, writer and director of the film was in attendance, as was lead actor Ben Kettner and Imaginative Leap regular DOP Imran Uppal.

The film was very well received as part of a very strong programme of shorts, and Pat has promised to bring another film to the event when it transfers to the Vibe Bar in Brick Lane next month.

Pat Kelman’s film SAY SOMETHING, STUPID screened tonight at KinoLondon #8. London’s premiere “open mic” screening night had a packed house ready for some sweet, fun films.

Happily the film was received very well, and Pat has promised to bring another film along next month.

The ReelHeART International Film Festival, Toronto, today jointly awarded the Best Film Award in the ReelTube category to Pat Kelman’s Filmaka shorts FRANCIS, THE LETTER GAME and ELEPHANT BOY.

The ReelTube category was added to the Festival lineup this year for films made specifically for the internet.

This is the second time Pat Kelman has been honoured by the Festival, winning the Best Feature Film award in 2005 for ENCOUNTERS.

Pat is, as you can imagine, delighted with the news.

Pat Kelman’s Filmaka Jury Level winner SAY SOMETHING, STUPID recieves its London premiere on Monday June 22nd.

ELEPHANT BOY played there last month to great acclaim, so this should be a great night.

The 5th ReelHeART International Film Festival (RHIFF), Toronto will launch on Monday June 22nd with a programme of films that includes three shorts by Pat Kelman.

The programme includes FRANCIS, THE LETTER GAME and ELEPHANT BOY.

Being selected for RHIFF is like a homecoming for the film maker, as his first feature, ENCOUNTERS, won the Best Feature Film prize in the Festival’s inagural year in 2005 and has been shown twice since under the Festival’s banner.

FRANCIS and THE LETTER GAME are included in the Festival’s new “ReelTube” category, intended for films created for the internet.

ELEPHANT BOY has the honour of being selected for the Festival’s Short Film Competition.

The films are all award-winners at the online Short and Documentary film competition website, Filmaka.com. Filmaka’s founder, “Bend It Like Beckham” producer Deepak Nayar, responded to the news with”Congratulations, hopefully we shall make a full length feature with Pat.”

Tickets for the June 22nd screening are available here, and tickets for the Festival overall can be found at the ReelHeART International Film Festival website.

Pat Kelman’s film “Francis” has been awarded the Special Jury Prize in the “Truth or Dare” competition on Filmaka.com. He will compete against the other qualifiers in the Final round, due to take place in three months’ time.
