From October 8 to 17, 2010, the 6th edition of the Shoot Me Film Festival (SMFF) will take place in The Hague. Under the motto Anywhere Cinema, the SMFF screens international independent films combined with live music at surprising locations throughout the city.
The first names have been announced: a focus on internationally acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn, the Dutch premiere of Felixs Machines from London, Polish film and animation combined with music by Chopin, and a cinematic encounter with the Antilles.

Anton Corbijn Retrospective
Photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn is being honored with a special retrospective featuring unique highlights from his work. Corbijn has photographed international artists and directed music videos for world-famous artists such as U2, Metallica, The Killers, Joy Division, Depepe Mode, Coldplay, and Johnny Cash. For his film Control, about the band Joy Division, he won no fewer than two awards at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007.

Performance of Felixs Machines
Artist Feilx Thorn (EN) created these extraordinary machines in his bedroom. They transform rhythmic audio structures into a visual 3D show. Felix's Machines have previously been shown in Bordeaux, London, Berlin, Paris, and at TED Global 2009 in Oxford. The Shoot Me Film Festival, in collaboration with TAG, presents the Dutch premiere!

Foreign Ground: Poland and Antilles
Under the banner of Foreign Ground, current and globally relevant themes are addressed annually during the SMFF. In 2010, this is the changing society caused by ongoing migration. The focus here is on Poland and the Antilles, two countries inextricably linked to the Netherlands.

In a special program about Poland, the Shoot Me Film Festival provides an overview of contemporary developments in the field of Polish film and animation. As 2010 is also the Chopin Year, the program is supplemented with music by Chopin performed by live musicians.

On October 10, 2010, the official dismantling of the Netherlands Antilles takes place. On that same day, the Antilles take center stage at the SMFF. The program focuses on encountering Antillean culture; both in the Antilles themselves and the culture as it has manifested itself in the Netherlands.

Shoot Me Film Festival The Shoot Me Film Festival takes place every year in October at various locations in The Hague. The international selection of documentaries, feature films, and experimental films, combined with live music, is unique and often not shown in regular cinemas. The SMFF receives structural funding from the Municipality of The Hague and collaborates with the daily newspaper NRC Next as a media partner.

Ticket sales for the Shoot Me Film Festival 2010 start in mid-August via the website. On Friday, August 20, SMFF is organizing a free preview at the Grote Markt in The Hague.
