WELCOME TO CINEMATIC WORLD- THE HOME OF NEW WORLD CINEMA

NEWS- Autumn/Winter 2024



I've only managed to shoot two short films in 2024 - but there's still time for more I guess! Blue Sky Dreams which I made in 2023 was selected for a film festival in Costa Rica (which was pretty cool)! My last feature will now be shot (God willing) in 2025, but before then there's the excitement of my short stories book - which will go live on Kickstarter soon (details on social media). It's the turn of my radio work to take a backseat, as it's the filmmaking that's really doing it for me right now. That said, I've just written a piece about Frantisek Vlacil's The Valley of the Bees which you can find on my DVDs page!

EDITORIAL



We lost Alain Delon this year. He is the star of one of my favourite films - Plein Soleil ('Purple Noon'), one of the most beautiful films ever made starring (appropriately) one of the most beautiful actors. Delon's career proper started three years before that though, and continued until just a few years ago. The golden period of his work was the 1960s and early 1970s, however, and he produced performances that were mesmeric, thoughtful and exactly what world-class actors should provide.

On the subject of great films, I discovered two amazing movies this year - The Go-Getter (2007) which I LOVED and the deeply moving Close (2022), which I rate equally highly. I do need to watch more movies - but that's a task for the darker evenings...
