Resfest 10!

From the site: "RESFEST is a global, travelling Festival of innovative film, music, art, design, fashion, culture and technology. We're ten this year, and we're throwing special birthday celebrations in Bristol (Watershed and Arnolfini 25-29 October) and London (14-19 November).

"RESFEST is an explosion of creativity that manifests itself through a dynamic series of events. Festival activities include screenings of shorts and features, seminars, educational sessions, live music and A/V performances, parties and interactive entertainment."

Mmhmmm...

Ooze...

Ah, a new category. First, I'm not a restaurant reviewer. Second, I haven't been coerced or persuaded into a favourable write-up. I'll simply say that, if you're in town (anywhere near Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Oxford St etc) and you're looking for a bite but you want to avoid the usual suspects (Wagamama's, anyone?) Ooze is a great alternative. Coming back from Chicago, I'm usually more than disappointed with the general range (or lack) of dining experiences in London - at least until my palate readjusts. Contrary to the usual post-Chicago blues, I came upon Ooze via a favourable Time Out review, and I can personally recommend the Sea Bass. Muted blue lighting and clean, unfussy decor make it the perfect place for an after-work relaxer or an intimate dinner-meet. It's just a shame the seasonal crumble wasn't available that evening...

Each event is curated based on a 'mash up' of cross-media projects, which will range from viral shorts (30secs) to shorts (up to 10mins). The next event takes place on:
