LONDON -- The London Screenings was stuck in neutral Monday, with one screening during the day and little signs of buyer-seller activity. Despite fine, sunny weather, few attendees were in sight, and the lobby of Berners Hotel -- this year's designated central point for the annual informal film market -- remained deserted. Around 30 screenings are scheduled for the next few days, according to Fusion Events, one of the surviving companies behind the London Screenings. Among the companies scheduled to screen fare are Curb Entertainment (Water's Edge), Lions Gate Entertainment (Rules of Attraction, House of 1000 Corpses and Cabin Fever), Park Entertainment (Nine Dead Gay Guys) and Axiom Films (Beneath Clubs). Although Berners Hotel will host an opening cocktail reception tonight, the deliberately informal gathering essentially has dropped its party hat this year, with no other large receptions planned. Serious business appears unlikely, too.
