Not everyone is able to attend film festivals, although the View from Here Last Night, which took place in Newton Abbot, should be towards the top of your list of ‘festivals-not-to-miss’ -not least because of the sheer quality, diversity and quantity of filmmakers who were teased out to the South Devon town. If you did miss it, we’ve pulled together the films that we could for your own festival experience.

Josh says: ‘I teamed up with James one day with the intention of doing a split-screen test for a bigger production, Tera Toma. We decided to explore the subject of paranoia by having one screen as the stalker and the other screened as the stalked. The film was made by shooting the left screen until we felt comfortable with it, watching that take back and then shooting the right screen. The music was contributed by Brian Monahan and was the result of an improvised 90 minute music making session recorded specifically for Third Wave.’
