Mike Leigh is "very concerned" for young filmmakers in the UK:
"[I want them] not to be dictated to and not be hanging around for years and years while people bully them about casting and their script" #LFF

We’re restoring four underseen and largely unavailable films, including two that have been out of circulation for decades and never released on home video — and we’re looking for your support.

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our dear friend the legendary photographer John Claridge. A bon viveur and a kind, warm, funny and talented man, John was a customer of the Two Puddings back in the 1960s. He photographed us for 'The Comeback Special' tour and we also used a photo of his for the cover of our new book 'Cognitive Dissident'. Rest In Peace John. You are sincerely missed my friend.

IN A LONELY PLACE screens on 35mm next Wed 13th May at midday. Nicholas Ray’s bleak, bruising Hollywood noir with Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. One of the darkest studio films of its era, and all the better for it.

I am deeply saddened to share that my Dear friend Tony Stella has passed away.
My thoughts are with his family during this incredibly difficult time.
At the moment, his family is working to gain access to his business and manage next steps.
I will share news as it becomes available.
Thank you for keeping Tony and his loved ones in your thoughts. ❤️

You may have heard ‘This Is The Day’ on BBC’s The Cage. Apparently many others did too. The track has gone straight to number 1 on @Shazam.
