I've been filming people who dress up in anachronistic outfits with an anachronistic camera. My Sony HDV takes delicate little cassette tapes; they can store 60 minutes of footage. I think it was built in 2003, when I was fourteen or fifteen.

This new film is starting to feel like it has a shape; even if it's going to be a loose and baggy one. by @thefilminquestion

Each spring, as the days warm and lengthen, Vanessa plants flax seeds in her cottage garden. She also forages for nettles and dyes and buds.

These things she weaves into clothing that hasn't been worn in these islands for thousands of years.

As an archaeologist, she researches the fabrics and fibres recovered from bog bodies excavated from anaerobic environments. It's a way of dressing the past.

Shot on handheld 16mm camera; no light metre, just the violent bright heat of a summer's day. It cooked the exposure, but I suppose these are precisely the friable conditions Bronze Age people would have had to put up with.

It's a short film, screening later this year in Glasgow. I'll share more details when they come. taken in Bronze Age by @thefilminquestion

scenes from the world premiere of Belief Is Not Without Pathos at @thenickelcinema — @tff_festival

I’ll probably reflect more fully on how the night and the festival unfolded elsewhere, but it was a true delight and pleasure to screen this film to a packed room of real human people on a balmy evening in August.

With great thanks to @rjhrjhrjhrjhrjh for moderating the Q&A

It won’t be the final screening of the film; things are in the works. I’ll report more as it comes to light here.

Until then, stay historic. by @thefilminquestion

The Final Film Festival is proud to present in collaboration with @thenickelcinema our exciting In-Competition strand. From London and beyond, join us in supporting these 9 emerging filmmakers across the weekend, with special Q&As and introductions with the filmmakers themselves, moderated by @omoselekevin .

TFFF presents the world premiere of NATIONAL SPORT by William North (@citizendrain). Tickets June 30th.

“Professional queuer Ian is content to spend his life waiting. As his girlfriend, Anna, prepares to move to Australia, he avoids making decisions that might change their future together, finding greater comfort in queues and conversations with strangers than in confronting the end of their relationship. Moving through chance encounters and unfinished ambitions, Ian reflects on time, commitment and his dormant dream of becoming a writer.”

Runtime: 120 mins

There will be a post film Q&A with Will.

TFFF presents the european premiere of HARD TIME LOVER (Amante Difícil) by João Pedro Faro. Tickets June 30th.

“Rio de Janeiro, the night time: Miguel runs into his ex-girlfriend outside his apartment, and she speaks in riddles before her new boyfriend takes her away. Still processing, Miguel meets a masked enigma in the hallway, who may put something inside his head. Driven by forces beyond his understanding, Miguel follows an occult pattern through the city streets that will take him to a dark underworld haunted by past and future violence, as well as harsh noise music.”

Runtime: 87mins.

TFFF presents the world premiere of ERAMUS by Oliver James Hunt (@savestate.memorial ). Tickets June 30th.

“When a romantic interest vanishes without explanation, a woman becomes convinced he is dead and that the truth has been deliberately obscured. Her search for answers leads through psychic mediums, social media archives, and conversations with LLMs, becoming a contemporary katabasis into digital culture’s emerging spiritual infrastructures.”

Runtime: 80mins

There will be a post film Q&A with Oliver.

TFFF presents the UK premiere of SOFTSHELL by Jinho Myung. Tickets June 30th.

***TFIQ screening alert klaxon***

Have you ever wanted to watch 24 hours of cinema?

or to drop in to a cinema at 3.51am – bleary from sleep, or returning from the club

perhaps, probably, who knows.

a portion of The Film in Question is screening at 3.51am on 11th April; when Friday night bleeds into Saturday morning.

2 Prince of Wales Rd, Kentish Town, London NW5 3LQ

I'm screening Tetsuya Yamagami next month in Leiden, NL.

It's a short "documentary" about the life and times of Shinzo Abe's assassin—told through the weapon he designed, constructed, and used.

More details are on the way. by @thefilminquestion

Pepys was shot on mini DV cassette (and some camcorder rephotography), which is the first time I've used this format for a project. It has its lumps and bumps. Scary at first to let go of the soft reliability of flashy DSLRs, but the footage has its own depth and texture. My DV is more than 20 years old. I don't know exactly when it was built. It is large and solid and has a zoom like the Hubble telescope. by @thefilminquestion

I've just finished Pepys – a short documentary about the Pepys Estate in Deptford, revisiting a community video project that was undertaken in the area half a century ago in 1974.

There's more to come with this film – ably assisted again by @adambellagha92 taken in Deptford by @thefilminquestion
