1. The fine fellows at the Colchester Film Festival are running a series of monthly screenings showing some of the better films that didn’t get screened in Colchester’s crappy Odeon cinema. The screenings will take place in our local big golden Firstsite art gallery, and each film will be preceded by one of the shorts from last years Film Festival. I’ll be drawing up an alternative poster for each of the features, kicking off with Dexter Fletcher’s directorial debut ‘Wild Bill’. If you’re local to the area then come along on Feb 11th; it’s half the price of the Odeon, shown on a much nicer screen and is by all accounts a smashing movie.
