In the Picture

A new web-based video channel called Big Picture TV gives viewers the (wait for it) big picture on the environment offering hundreds of free, thought-provoking clips of global experts in sustainability – with startling warnings, commentary and practical ideas and solutions.

Most startling of all is an exclusive video message from a haggard-looking Annie Lennox who launched the site [...]

Broadcast news

When we interviewed filmmaker Mike Whiddon last week, he revealed he was all set to make a six-part series for One Plymouth TV, a new television channel launching later this year. Hold on a second. A new TV channel? For Plymouth?! D+CFilm was intrigued enough to find out more.

Apparently, One Plymouth TV will be aired on Sky across [...]

Political posturing (video)

The Madrips - crazy name, crazy guys. Don’t believe us? Well, check out the Padstow lads in action below, in the video for their Hillbilly Politics ditty.

We know the promo’s been floating around YouTube for a good few months, but we were inspired to dig it out after hearing one of their tracks on the latest PRSD Melting Pot [...]

Rococo pops

Starting at 7.30pm, the evening will also feature art, photography and live music. Candlelit tables will be [...]

The future grows on you

Funny what a fella with a fiddle and a handful of film can do. Future noir electronica guru Zan Lyons set the Centre of Contemporary Art in the Natural World buzzing when he accompanied a combination of manga film Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence and his own films with his eerily dark dub in [...]

Future fantastic

Hullo viewers! We’re off to the whizz-bang multimedia extravanganza that is Futureshock tonight.

The Centre For Contemporary Art And The Natural World (that’s CCANW ‘for short’), in collaboration with Halloween and animate!, has invited cooler-than-thou electronic star Zan Lyons to provide a live soundtrack to Mamoru Oshii’s animated 2004 classic Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. That’s [...]

Big issues, small films

What better way to highlight social issues for kids than through animation? And the international Big Small People project has done just that. Those behind the initiative were at Animated Exeter to talk about what they did and whether creativity can affect social change.

What a site

Propeller, the national channel for new film and telly, has relaunched its website. We can’t really remember what the old one looked like but we think it was a bit orange.

Motion stop

Thinking about a career in animation? Well, it’s all stop/start. 

Suzie Templeton should know. This BAFTA winning (BAFTA winning!) stop-motion animator will be demonstrating her skill and talking about her trade to the lovely Professor Joan Ashworth (head of animation at the Royal College of Art) tomorrow evening at the Exeter Phoenix.

The sets of Suzie’s latest film [...]
