The Projector with Teeth returns to 4 major London venues this January, with a new identity and a new name, celebrating 5 uncompromising years of short film and punk attitude.
After 4 years, the Halloween Short Film Festival now emerges as the London Short Film Festival, still proud to be the edgiest film festival in the UK, and bringing with it the best in new film and music across 10 days of screenings and multi-media mayhem. The cornerstone of the previous Festivals has always been imaginative and challenging programming, so for this year’s screenings, the Festival are pulling some special events out of the bag, alongside the best in new short films.

Almodóvar and Cruz set to embrace
Following the success of Volver, Pedro Almodóvar and Penélope Cruz have embraced a new project together. The Spanish star has been confirmed as part of the cast of the Oscar-winning director's new film, Los abrazos rotos ("Broken Hugs"), principal photography on which is scheduled to begin in January 2008. The film, which also stars Blanca Portillo (Volver) and Lluís Homar (Bad Education), is not, however, the director’s previously announced adaptation of Thierry's Jonquet's novel Mygale (working title La piel que habito).
