The inaugural launch of the Twickenham Alive Film Festival took place in Autumn 2012 at an open-air cinema event in the grounds of Strawberry Hill House; the call for entries was screened on the magnificent white walls of Horace Walpole’s Gothic castle, one of the treasures of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
The first film entry submitted from the Borough was from the London Wetland Centre in Barnes, a beautiful nature reserve of lakes, pools and meadows. This was closely followed by short films from Teddington, one of the Borough’s villages and famed for Teddington Studios. (Nearby, Twickenham Film Studios in St Margaret’s and on the border of East Twickenham is known for iconic films such as Alfie and A Hard Day’s Night). Twickenham’s entries to the Festival are also coming in, one film highlighting the magic of a sometimes overlooked area of the Thames riverside.
Surprisingly, the news of the Twickenham Alive Film Festival has already carried across the world with entries from Japan, Brazil, the USA, India, Portugal and Italy.
Back in the Borough the students of Richmond College have been filming enthusiastically and we are looking forward to receiving their entries. Encouraging film making and building on the heritage of the Borough is something Twickenham Alive seeks to promote and in turn we are supported by organizations such as the British Film Institute and others in the aim of building future filmmakers.
The run up to the first Twickenham Film Festival had been relatively short but the final event and screenings on 26 April 2013 at the Live Room, Twickenham Stadium marked the beginning of the Twickenham Alive Film Festival. The second screenings and awards ceremoy took place on 29th May 2014 at St Mary's University, Twickenham. We look forward to the third screening and awards ceremony on 18th June 2015 at The Mary Wallace Theatre, Twickenham.
