Seven short films made in the Waikato will soon screen in venues around the country. The tour starts in Hamilton on November 11th as part of a double feature programme in association with the Hamilton Film Society at the Victoria Cinema at 8 PM. It comes to Christchurch on November 27.

 Seven entertaining short films
The seven films are:

'Retribution' directed by Paul Tilling.  A story of love and revenge set in imperial France - coming to a cinema near you.

'Clean as a whistle' directed by Sarah Rosser. A quirky musical with a psychological edge.

'Swing' directed by Dawn Tuffery. An environmentally conscious animation about a little guy and his swing. (This film played at the New Zealand and Melbourne International Film Festivals.)

'Betty Banned Sweets' directed by Michelle Savill. Set in Hamilton, a young man finds it difficult to leave home. (This film played at the Brisbane and Melbourne International Film Festivals.)

'Spit Takes' directed by Chris Tan. The comedic art of the spit gag, explained for beginners.

'Meat' directed by Joe Citizen. Vampires and blood a-plenty, this spectacular film was shot at Matangi.

'Dark Priest' directed by Sasha Nixon. The story of a vigilante priest who struggles between his conscience and the evils of the world.

The compilation has been rated R13 by the office of the censor, as it contains some scenes of horror and violence.

After Hamilton and Raglan, the compilation will screen at Waiheke Island, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Te Anau Nelson and Granity, with more venues currently in negotiation.
