Films include:
LITTLE TERRORIST, Dir Ashvin Kumar
Nominated for an Oscar this beautiful film is a
child's eye view of political and
religious hatred. Charming, moving and utterly
compelling.
Ben Blaine says: “Best Film at the Manhattan Short
Film Festival, 1st Prize at the
Montreal World Film Festival, Best Film at the
Flanders International Film Festival,
Grand Prize at the Tehran International Short Film
Festival and nominated for a
European Academy Award and the Oscars. After all that
it doesn't really need me to
say that it's a superb piece of cinema that you all
really should see but, there, I've
said it anyway.”
FOLIE A DEUX, Dir Nicola Mills
Leg crossing farce about pregnancy and the opposite of
Russian roulette.
BB says: “Witty, charming and at times superbly
embarrassing this was one of the
very few films I saw this time round that made me
laugh out loud.”
UNREQUITED, Dir Tom Bainton
A powerfully simple film about a complication emotion.
BB says: “Made for the Straight 8 competition in which
entrants make a film on a
single roll of super8mm film without editing this film
is so beautifully simple that
there's not much else I can say about it without
ruining it. So I won't.”
SCHOOL OF LIFE, Dir Jake Polonsky
The most important lesson of your life.
BB says: “Surreal and beautifully made this won best
film at the British Independent
Film Awards. It makes you think, it makes you laugh,
I'm not sure what else you can
ask for in 7 minutes.”
