Way of the Benshi: Open Mic

Your chance to try your hand at the film-narration game. Pick a sequence or a short, and bring it along.

As the festival draws to a close, the stage is yours. Pick a film sequence, develop the narration, and then perform it live with the film here at the Kavarna. To kick off proceedings, we’re delighted to welcome Lonesome Panther with his own unique take on ‘haiku benshi’ as accompaniment to a classic Japanese puppet animation.

If you want to get involved, get in touch via: programme@flatpackfestival.org.uk. Let us know which film sequence you'd like to use, and give us a brief idea of what you're planning to do with it.
