We at D+CFilm are big fans of the filmmaker cum harpist (no, not ’cum harpist’ – that’d be disgusting!) Elizabeth-Jane Baldry. In fact, she’s not only the coolest and best harpist weve ever met (shh, dont tell her shes the only one), but shes also a bit of an expert on folk tales.
Indeed, her latest film, Childe Rowland, is based [...]

Trois cheers for Andy Bottrill (as Truffaut would say)! This softly spoken whippersnapper is the new general manager of the Exeter Picturehouse.
He’s been at the cinema for some 10 years (that’s pretty much since it opened) as box officer manager, duty manager and press officer. At this rate, he’ll be playing James Bond in five years.

Hallo D+Cineasts! Just a quick word to say the Arthouse Roundup returns next week. That’s exciting, ain’t it? Yes, it bloody-well is.
As regular viewers will already know, the roundup will boast a beezer new look and be (ever so slightly) more comprehensive.

As it was with John Wayne and The Shootists, well look back on Prairie Home Companion as a portent of Robert Altmans death.

Designed to promote creativity, Bafta’s 60 Seconds of Fame compo aims to give proles the tools and ‘know how’ to create their very-own short movie. That’s why they’re asking fledgling filmmakers from D+C to submit a 60-second short, based around the rather boring theme of ‘celebrate’. Surely the theme ’shit, my bastard helicopter’s on fire’ would’ve been a lot more [...]

There’s no Arthouse Roundup this week – apparently cinemas aren’t showing anything for a coupla weeks cos of a little thing they like to call Christmas.
Stupid oafs!
But the good news is the roundup will be back in the so-called new year with a swanky new look. Well, it’ll still kinda look the same but it’ll [...]

There’s a strong Devon connection to the film Deep Water, screening at the Exeter Picturehouse this week, which heavily features the town of Teignmouth. How impossibly glamorous!

A stonking new youth-run cinema has been set up in North Devon to support and show local films, while rousing some political rabble in the process.
Reel Indi is masterminded by Henry Allison, a rather angry-sounding young man and founder of North Devon Active Youth, whose main concern is the way mainstream media reports events in a biased way.
The cinema was [...]
