Tiger Film Festival
Published 9th May 2007 by Amanda

Over the weekend from Thursday 31st May - Sunday 3rd June, Brighton will play host to a brand new event on the international film festival circuit, the TIGER FESTIVAL, sponsored by Tiger beer.
Six films from the Far East will be screened at Brighton's independent Duke of York's Picturehouse, ranging from THE BANQUET starring Zhang Zhiyi (Crouching Tiger / House of Flying Daggers), to Zhang Yimou's latest international festival favourite, RIDING ALONE FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES.  The festival opens with the award winning PAPRIKA, and closes with the explosive action of DRAGON TIGER GATE. This year the TIGER FESTIVAL will serve as a forerunner to next years’ week long festival in 2008, to occupy a post-Cannes slot.

The opening night party, held at CONCORDE 2 features the finest quality hip hop, breaks and soul from the visionary producer, and one half of 4hero, MARC MAC, plus The QEMISTS (the new signing to Ninja Tunes) with an inventive 3 man DJ set (Limited FREE ENTRY for 300 people – see website for terms and conditions).

Bringing together the UKs’ best upcoming soul,

electronica and hip hop talent, the Saturday night party

at the SUSSEX ARTS CLUB presents ELMORE JUDD and ERIC LAU plus guests. ELMORE JUDD, the alter ego of Jesse Hackett, is performing with his full band, including brother LOUIS SLIPPERZ (Raw Dog). ERIC LAU has recently been given the nod from Gilles Peterson, gaining a Worldwide Winners Nomination.
