Bluescreen - Evolving from Genre Defying Film Jams & other Experimental Film Screenings held at the Cube Cinema, since 2001 Bluescreen have hosted regular walk-in Independent Open Film Screenings.

Send us your Film via WeTransfer to [email protected], headed up ‘(date of Month) Bluescreen’. And generally the first day of a month we are doing Bluescreen in

And to make things easier for us, the films will need to be in the following format:
MP4
H264 Video Compression
File size up to 1GB
Data rate under 5,000kb/sec
Ideally the smallest size file you can manage is best for us. BLUESCREEN coming up in 2026 - Screening Dates:

Doors Open: 7.30pm

History
Bluescreen have also been involved in organising specific film type events and have appeared at many Festivals, screening films originally shown at Bluescreen, including the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2007, Encounters Short Film Festival 2011 and 2012. The Event
We are a 90 minutes total screening duration event and with just one film shown per filmmaker. This is to allow all films to be screened at a reasonable hour and also give the opportunity to the audience to stay and watch them to the end too. SO WHAT WE ARE BASICALLY SAYING IS, IF YOU GOT A FILM, SEND IT TO US! Films can be up to 20mins long and must in MP4 format

We are a NO censorship Film night

To get the best screening experience at Bluescreen, we suggest your film should be formatted in H264 (.mp4) video compression, with AAC compression for audio. And limit the data rate to 15,000 kbits/sec and films should be no larger than 1 GB per file. We screen anything from mini dramas to skate films to animation, music promos, horrror, arthouse, sci-fi and beyond! We have DJ's - Bluescreen Hi-Fi - in the bar all night. See you at the Bluescreen!
