A mix of treats from the Yorkshire Film Archive and newer "user generated" fans' films, see just what the beautiful game means to those in the most beautiful county. From Bradford City's first trip to Bournemouth in the 1940s, accompanied by wicker baskets and fags, to Brian Clough and Don Revie's fractious 1970s local television encounter, to strange, devoted, quickly-assembled paeans to success and failure from the 21st century. The medium may change, but the passion of Yorkshire football has always been documented. Silent archive films accompanied by live piano. www.channel4.com/fourdocs NEW SHORTS 10: docs A themed 100 minute selection of short films from open submission into the 5th London Short Film Festival, which will culminate in the FourDocs Award for Best Documentary Short within this year's Festival. From skateboarding in Southsea to mudlarking on the Thames, from being high up on London building site cranes to being on the lonely Yorkshire moors with just sheep for company. From the dark urban heart of Glasgow to the hard life of a stand up comedian trying to break the big time. Forget reality TV, all real life is here tonight... ............................ 5th LONDON SHORT FILM FESTIVAL 4th - 13th JANAURY 2008 www.shortfilms.org.uk/ The projector with teeth returns across four London venues with a new identity and a new name. After 4 years of the Halloween Short Film Festival, now emerges the London Short Film Festival, but still proud to be the edgiest film festival in the UK, with a punk rock mentality in its uncompromising vision to bring the best of film and music across 10 days of screenings and multi-media mayhem. The cornerstone of the previous Festivals has always been about 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.
