Submitted by robin_m on Mon, 22/10/2012 - 12:00Breadmakers has been screened at the Jeju Disabled Peoples Human Rights Film Festival in Korea. The screening took place in September 2012.
Jeju DPI has organized the Disabled Peoples' Human Rights Film Festival every year since 2000 to eradicate social prejudice against persons with disability, to share the culture of the disabled with the general public and to improve the ability of creating films by the disabled through films and movies.
It’s great that Breadmakers continues to be screened worldwide five years after its launch at the 2007 Edinburgh International Film Festival.
Director, Yasmin Fedda’s latest documentary, ‘A Tale of Two Syrias’ is presently hitting the Film Festival trail worldwide.

On the occasion of her 13th birthday, Princess Pumpalot (The Farting Princess) is presented with the key to the cabinet. This is no ordinary key and this is no ordinary cabinet. The cabinet contains 32,141 tins of magic beans . . . beans that make you fart.
Competing to take Princess Pumpalot to the Royal Birthday Ball are twin brothers Prince Niceavia and Prince Nastavia. Who will win this battle and what the heck is a low-flying gnome?
All (and more) will be revealed in this cheeky little book. Written in the style of a screenplay, Princess Pumpalot (The Farting Princess) is a funny wee story which farts along at a great pace.
The book is available from a number of outlets including The Book Depository, Waterstones and The Cadies & Witchery Tours.
A Tale of Two Syrias COMING SOON
Submitted by robin_m on Thu, 11/10/2012 - 18:52We are delighted to be working with Director Yasmin Fedda again having previously worked with her on her short film Breadmakers in 2007.
Her new feature documentary is entitled, A Tale Of Two Syrias. It is a snapshot of life before Syria’s uprising began, seen through the eyes of two people; Salem, an Iraqi refugee and fashion designer in Damascus and Botrus, a monk in the remote hillside monastery of Mar Musa.
This film is about their dreams, discussions, and questions around freedom and choice in the year before Syria descended into serious conflict.
Having just completed A Tale Of Two Syrias, the film is presently being submitted to film festivals worldwide.
The Download Horror COMING SOON
Submitted by robin_m on Mon, 10/09/2012 - 12:13The Download Horror is our comedy/horror feature due for release in November 2012.
When it comes to movies Dougie and Robbo know what they like. And there is nothing they like more than a night in watching one of Big Al’s latest downloads - especially if it’s a horror film featuring five babes alone in a big house.
Big Al is the neighbourhood bootlegger and they depend on him for a constant diet of blood, gore and nudity and whatever else he thinks will satisfy their craving. They always expect surprises. Will his latest offering, the horror film Sacrificed, live up to their expectations?
For updated information you can follow progress on the film's Facebook page - THE DOWNLOAD HORROR.
Vote for William McLaren
Submitted by robin_m on Mon, 27/08/2012 - 16:14Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery (currently closed for refurbishment) is asking people to vote for their favourite paintings. The paintings that receive the most votes will appear in the first exhibition when the the Gallery reopens in the Spring of 2013.
I've noticed two paintings in the collection relating to William McLaren.
1. Alan Alexander painting of William McLaren.
2. Portrait of a Woman, Man and Two Boys Playing Music by William McLaren.
We have a keen interest in the works of McLaren after producing the documentary William McLaren: An Artist Out Of Time in 2010.
With nearly 500 paintings in their storeroom, Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery can't put everything on show at once. It would be good if William McLaren was part of this opening exhibition.
You can vote HERE.
Voting runs until the end of December 2012.
