Host of film talent attend inaugural filmmakers’ ball
– Sadie Frost, Helen George and Tamer Hassan attended Raindance Film Festival’s charity party –
A host of celebrities and film industry talent attended Raindance Film Festival’s inaugural Independent Filmmakers’ Ball last night to raise funds for The Independent Film Trust (IFT), the UK charity whose activities include the provision of film-making courses for disadvantaged adults and children. Guests included Sadie Frost, Helen George, Tamer Hassan, Nick Broomfield, Alan Parker, Matt Kernard and Kitty Brucknell.
Entertainment on the night came from soul band ‘The Indies’ as well as a ‘filmmaker’s dream raffle’, with prizes including a Canon EOS C100 camera and screening-room hire from Motion Picture Solutions handed out to lucky winners.
Raindance and British Independent Film Award founder Elliot Grove comments: “It was a pleasure to see the crème de la crème of British indie filmmaking come together under one roof for such a great cause and to celebrate their work. Away from the glamour of tinsel town, these guys work incredibly hard to deliver thought-provoking, disruptive and consistently entertaining material for our viewing pleasure and I can’t wait for the chance to showcase their work when the 22nd annual Raindance Film Festival returns this autumn.”
