Sam Raimi interview: part one

Sam Raimi has loved Spider-Man ever since he was a kid growing up in Michigan dreaming of making movies one day.

“I loved the character of Peter Parker because I could relate to him and I loved the stories,” he says. “And I’ve always loved every part of the movie making process; writing the screenplay, the [...]

Concerted effort

Remember we told you about Cornish combo Wire Daisies entering the (yawn) virtual online world of Second Life?

Well, it’s our duty to inform you the band will be playing another gig tonight, as part of their regular residency on Second Life’s Island of Menorca.

In fact, Wire Daisies are the first band in the world to have a residency on Second [...]

Spidey sense (video)

We at D+CFilm are pretty excited about Spider-Man 3 being released next week and we know you are too.

The thing is, we’re a bit sick of seeing all the smirky interviews with Dunst and Maguire. Why would a friendly neighbourhood D+Cineaste be interested in what they have to say? Where the heck is Sam Raimi [...]

Idol gestures (video)

So we were reading about last week’s two-hour American Idol charity drive and thought you might like to hear about it. We didn’t watch it, of course – we’re not complete lunatics.

The show was designed to highlight charity organisation One: The Campaign To Make Poverty History, which is obviously a great cause, and far be it [...]

Childe’s play

It’s not often we get an email which begins ‘Hello darlings!’ but when we do, it’s invariably from The Chagford Filmmaking Group (or Dame Edna Everage). 

Their latest missive tells us about a screening of Elizabeth-Jane Baldry’s Childe Rowland tomorrow at 11.30am at Exeter Picturehouse.

The half-hour film is set in Anglo-Saxon Devon and tells the story of a little [...]

Apply yourself

We were wittering on about the Cornwall Film Festival last week (click here to refresh your memory), so we though you might like to know that festival entry forms are now available to download from their website.

And they ain’t fussy, neither – films of any length or genre will be considered.

In a change to previous years, initial applications only [...]

Studio line

A proposal to overhaul the 10-acre South West Film Studios site in Cornwall looks like it’s back on track after the new owners unfurled their latest plans on Monday.

The half-built studios at St Agnes, dubbed Aggiewood by media wags, were abandoned after the company behind the scheme went into administration
in 2004.

But now St Agnes Properties Ltd has snapped up [...]

Surreal gone kids (video)

The second instalment of the Surreal Saloon at the Exeter Phoenix media centre is planned to take a decidedly science fiction bent – well it is on May 4 and does have the moniker ‘May the fourth be with you’.

So what multimedia, futuristic adventure will you be taken on this time? Er, we can’t remember, [...]

Super Pod (video)

Seems like everyone’s doing a podcast these days (that and writing a blog,
heh heh!) and South West Screen is no exception.

Their new podcast proffers a bunch of wholesome fun, including live event recordings, interviews and news relevant to people working in film, TV and digital media in D+C.

They’re kicking off with two recent SWS events: International Film Markets [...]
