Shooting Robert King (aka Blood Trail 21 Aug - 3 Sep 2009

Shooting Robert King (aka Blood Trail), Dir Richard Parry, UK 2008
Shooting Robert King (aka Blood Trail), Dir Richard Parry, UK 2008
21 Aug - 3 Sep 2009

A fascinating documentary that follows the career of photographer Robert King, tracing his work from his start in Bosnia, through his time in Chechnya to his struggles in Iraq. As well as showing us the unvarnished truth behind the images that emerged from those war zones, the film shows how King himself has grown as a person and a professional. Starting out in Bosnia in 1993 as a naive 24 year old, King barely knew the rules of the game. Over the course of 15 years on film, we see him acquire a lifetime of experience.

Win Tickets to a Special Screening of Coraline!

coralineukquad-3d_ref1131

Find out how to win tickets to a special screening and Q&A session for Coraline!

Based on Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling book and helmed by “The Nightmare Before Christmas” director Henry Selick, - is the first high definition, stop-motion animated feature to be shot in 3-D.

In the film, a young girl (voiced by ……..) walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life - only much better. But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit other mother (voiced by Teri Hatcher) tries to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her stubborn determination, bravery, and the aid of her neighbours and a talking black cat to save her real parents and some ghost children and get back home.

Other exciting characters include; Mr Bobinski (voiced by Ian McShane), Miss Forcible (voiced by Jennifer Saunders) and Miss Spink (voiced by Dawn French).

There's two tickets to give away for a special screening of the film on Wednesday May 6th. After the screening there will be a Q & A session with Henry Selik and Neil Gaiman.
