Kill Your Television Publication

(For free collection from London select Christmas Island in postage)

Kill Your Television Publication is a beautifully illustrated, self-published zine about the filmmaking community of North East London.

The publication builds on our ethos of showcasing new short films made in our area, and giving a voice to filmmakers. It consists of a full catalogue of the films screened at our events in 2016, including full credits and information on where to find them online. Importantly, it is also a collection of texts by twelve of their makers: we’ve asked them to write about their practice, themes in their work, learnings, and fascinations.

Discussing mental health, communities beneath the new London skyline and homelessness, the publication also encompasses accounts of diverse artistic processes and practical production experiences and tips, poetic texts, and intimate stories of extreme journeys that making their films took their makers on.

This publication is a unique anthology of short films made in North East London, a book of experiences, knowledge and ideas, and a work of art in itself. With its every page fully illustrated in response to the films and texts, the publication is our collaboration with the filmmaking community.

Our contributors include festival-touring filmmakers, experimental artists, as well as a first-time director. They are: Emily McDonald, Joseph Wilson, Gsus Lopez, Katia Ganfield, Tom Clarkson, Umut Gunduz, Sam Ellett, William Walsh, Oliver Walton, Kasia Nalewajka, Jessie Ayles, and Klearjos Eduardo Papanicolaou.

The catalogue also includes films by: Oscar Hudson and Ruben Woodin Dechamps, johnsmith, Gualtiero Fisauli, Balan Evans, Julia Hart and Ju Shardlow, Peter Millard, and others.

The publication has been printed with the help of our generous Indiegogo supporters.
