Making Tracks has provided an interactive platform for emerging film talent for the last three years, fusing live music with moving image. Since December 2010, with support from Arts Council England, we have hosted twelve events at Rich Mix and showcased over 120 short films, all of which screened alongside brand new scores, performed live by The Cabinet of Living Cinema.

Join us as we say farewell to Making Tracks, with a selection of the best short films and live scores to come out of the project. The Cabinet will use a wide range of instruments and foley to add a new dimension to the visuals, creating an invigorating live experience.

Scratch That! artists' 16mm film direct animation project held at Plymouth Arts Centre on 9 Nov 2013. The workshop is part of Sweet FA film art collaboration between Sundog Media and Plymouth Arts Centre.

For the second year running Plymouth Arts Centre and Dartington Barn Cinema presents a programme of outdoor evening screenings at Plymouth’s majestic Royal William Yard. We are again delighted to have some short films selected to screen before the main featuures in keeping with the nautical theme.

The charming Lighthouse animation – which won the Young Motion Plymouth Award 2012 and The Young Ones Award at Animated Exeter Festival 2012 – and Teign Sprit whetted the audiences’ appetites for features including Pacific Rim on the large outdoor screen.
