As with everything else screen-related over the last year, Flare's annual launch went online. So, no programmes or cake presentation, but the usual montage of clips from the films was screened. I was a bit late getting to the correct Facebook page, as it was not well sign-posted, but did see some familiar faces presenting the clips. The key points are that the festival will screen this year on the BFI Player and all the shorts will be free.
I have had a nose through the online programme and am quite excited about the long awaited world premiere of Rebel Dykes, a post-punk documentary which has been offering WIP screenings for some years now at conferences. Other docs focus on Billy Tipton and Gloria Allen. Biopics on Tove Jansson and Rainer Werner Fassbinder are also in the mix. And the late Cloris Leachman stars in Jump, Darling, which sounds intriguing.
Here is the festival trailer.
