Sound Edit film screening

There will also be a screening of the winning film from our wildlife sounds competition with IdeasTap. We set filmmakers the challenge to create a short film or animation in response to our weird and wonderful wildlife sounds, from a haddock under water that sounds like a snare drum to bats that sound like human beatboxers.

This event is part of our Spring Festival 2013: a celebration of fashion, design and film at the Library.
