We also work with local, regional and national partners including OXDOX, Festival Republic, Directors Notes and local independent cinemas. Over the last 10 years we have pioneered outdoor screenings in the region offering up new films to new audiences in public parks and public spaces.

PLEASE NOTE

Film Oxford is not a general public hire facility; we are a training organisation that does sometimes hire equipment if it fits in with our educational aims. Typically equipment hire is for people we have trained who want produce short films or other similar work to develop their filmmaking skills. We also hire to other organisations and also to filmmakers working on more commercial projects at different rates. We do not hire to untrained people, we do not hire domestic equipment and we can not hire last minute.

Hiring of lights, grip and sound equipment is only possible when hiring a shooting kit, no stand alone hires.

If you want to hire equipment, send an email to Gary Shenton production@filmoxford.org stating your contact details, what equipment you want, when you want it and your experience (or experience of person usining it).

Supported Production – recent productions supported by Film Oxford

Anyone Can Play Guitar, directed by Jon Spira, was supported by Film Oxford through the production award strand. Film Oxford supplied shooting and lighting kits, production support and resources.

When people talk about regional music scenes, they never talk about Oxford. Yet Oxford’s tight music community has been steadily producing genre-defining bands of the highest quality and integrity for pushing 30 years.

Anyone Can Play Guitar is not like most music docs. Using unheard stories of some of the greatest bands and the greatest stories of some of the unheard bands as the backdrop to a truly unique and epic saga of success, failure, good intentions and bad outcomes. It refuses to mythologise and explores what can be achieved with community and the harsh realities of the music industry.

From the DIY spirit of the early 80′s right through to  the  controversial corporatisation of Oxford’s best-loved venue, ACPG tracks three decades of highs and lows in a punchy and engaging style.

The Ultimate Survivor, directed by Philip Hind received production support and an equipment award from Film Oxford.

The Ultimate Survivor tells the story of a remarkable institution through interviews with cinema historian Ian Meyrick; former owners and Oxford students including Ian Hislop (Private Eye; Have I got News for You) and Mark Thompson (BBC Director General) who recall the cinema in its 1970s heyday. The documentary also explores the infamous attempted screening in 1988 of A Clockwork Orange which brought the cinema, its owners and the eminent science fiction authorBrian Aldiss into direct conflict with the film’s mercurial director Stanley Kubrick.

The Ultimate Survivor received its world premiere at the 100th anniversary celebrations of the opening of the Ultimate Picture Palace on 24th February 2011.
