From the leaflet ' Mirrorball was born at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in 1996. Its aim was to prove to the world that the best music videos were worth more than a passing critical glace and that their directors were talents worth watching. It proclaimed that prop promos, rather than short films, were where the next generation of Hollywood stars would cut their filmmaking teeth.
In the years since it was launched Mirrorball has co-produced two television series (in conjunction with Blackwatch Productions) for Channel 4 and has toured the UK extensively presenting film events at the National Film Theatre, ICA, Curzon and at regional film theatres across the country. Mirrorball has also participated in international festivals in Australia, Japan and throughout Europe, including Sonar Festival, Barcelona and SxSW, Austin, presenting programmes of work by directors from all corners of the globe.
If you have a music video, music documentary or commercial that you feel we shouldn't miss then get it to us. All details for submitting to the festival are available here. Entry is free and not only will your work be showcased in Edinburgh at one of the oldest and well respected festivals, it will also be screened at festivals and venues around the world.'
Mirrorball is produced by David Drummond and Aida LiPera.
