Hi all,

Bandwidth films - purveyors of fine music videos from Dutch Schultz, Panama
Kings & Pocket Promise - is seeking:

- males and females
- professionals & non-professionals
- aged 15-30

For a music video for The Beat Poet's latest single 'The Making'.

The video will be about the many ways in which people can feel trapped (crap
jobs, crap relationships), and it'll be a "based on fact" representation of real
people - so we're looking for actors who:

- have part-time jobs, and will let us film them at work (and have checked its
ok with the boss)
- people who are also couples/in relationships

Anyone interested - and who is free to film NEXT WEEK (23-29th November)
Contact Will at mail@...

Thanks everyone!

The Ulster Theatre Company's production of "Scrooge's Christmas" opens at the
Market Place Theatre, Armagh on Tuesday 24th November, for a four week run ...
final performance on Sunday December 20th.  It will then transfer to The
Pavilion Theatre, Dun Laoghaire, opening on Boxing Day and playing for three
weeks till January 17th.

This spectacular adaptation by Michael Poynor and Mark Dougherty follows the
string of Seasonal successes penned by this dynamic duo.

Directed by Michael Poynor, Designed by Elroy Ashmore with Musical Direction by
Mark Dougherty, Choreography by Deborah Maguire and Costumes by Pat Musgrave,
the production brings together a wealth of experienced actors:

Richard Doubleday takes the title role with Joe Rea as Lilly Marley, Michael
Liebman as Jacob Marley, Packy Lee as Bob Cratchit, Tara Lynne O'Neill as
Splenda and Mary Moulds as Candarel (The Sugar Babes), Paul Boyd as Freddy and
introducing Jolene O'Hara as Lucy.

Framed within the biggest and most colourful sets produced in Northern Ireland,
the production is already close to selling out in Armagh and promises to be
another rip roaring success ... OH, YES IT DOES!!

deadonmusic presents.. Yngve The Innocent/Let The Peasants Be Kings Tours

FEATURING LIVE MUSIC FROM YNGVE AND THE INNOCENT, MATT STANSBERRY, BRANTLEY COWAN, LOUISIANA JOYRIDE AND DEADONMUSIC DJS

McHUGHS BAR | QUEEN'S SQUARE | BELFAST | 22-11-2009 | 8PM | £5

Yngve and the Innocent feature the German born Irish songwriting talent of Yngve Wieland and his band of Ned Cartwright, Palmi Gunnlaugur Hjaltason and brother Damien Wieland live as well as the 'Space to be Yourself Collective' on record. Yngve (pronounced Ing-vuh) started out solo in 2004 and since then has shared the stage with Paul Weller, Nina Hynes and Jape amongst others. In 2008 he released his debut full length album "Tell Men This" to critical acclaim from Jump.ie and Hot Press Magazine.

The band are currently touring the UK and Ireland taking their folk and country tunes on the road and spreading the word with a set of alternative folk tunes from a more traditional background along with the individuality of ideas from the collective with themes of love, loss and innocence with a healthy dose of Dublin cynicism.

Since relocating to London, the band have gone from strength to strength with shows in the Brixton Windmill and a four week residency in the George Tavern and this show will be a stripped down acoustic affair as a warm up to the Irish leg of their tour which will also take in Waterford, Dundalk and Dublin.

The "Let The Peasants Be Kings" tour features the double talent of musicians and songwriters Matt Stansberry and Brantley Cowan from Oklahoma. Matt and his band have been relentlessly touring and gigging across the mid-west through Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas and taking on a sold out tour of Japan in 2008. Brantley is the son of a DJ and music producer from deep in Oklahoma with a grandfather who would sing old western traditional hymns and infused the young Brantley Cowan with a love for music. He's a muli-instrumentalist and gifted songwriter equally at home on piano, guitar or saxophone. This tour sees the duo take their solo tunes on the road throughout Europe with shows in Germany, the UK and Ireland.

Matt Stansberry has been working on a brand new EP entitled Self Portrait which sees a deeper, more matured side to his songwriting putting him at his most comfortable with a good tune and an acoustic guitar to hand. Brantley is lead vocalist and guitarist of the successful Modern Rock Diaries and has taken his unique style of indie-rock fused with his traditional roots music throughout the mid-west and to the SXSW festival. He is currently building on this success with the release of his EP and a hectic touring regime.

After last week's launch of their wonderful debut EP 'The Journey Through' Louisiana Joyride are hitting the road with Yngve The Innocent for a few Irish shows.

Make sure to catch these artists along with local support on a rare appearance in Belfast on what will be a wonderful night of acoustic, folk and Americana.

A MUSICAL TREAT FOR LITTLE BEAUTIES AND BEASTIES

Get into the Christmas spirit with The Tale of the Beauty and the Tail of the
Beast, this year's family Christmas treat from the Lyric theatre at Elmwood
Hall.

It's a fun-filled musical based on the original French fairytale of `Beauty and
the Beast', packed with lots of laughs - not just for the little ones, for mums
and dads as well! The musical follows an 18th century acting troupe, one of whom
goes missing, another has delusions of grandeur and all are reading from a
script that is entirely in the wrong order, giving this well known tale a
hilarious and unusual twist!

Providing festive laughs are multi-talented cast: Drew Dillon, Natalie Douglas,
Mary McNally, Christina Nelson and Ben Sleep. The show is directed by Richard
Croxford, who directed the Lyric's productions of The Wizard of Oz, The Snow
Queen and Charlotte's Web and is written by Paul Boyd, the writer of the Lyric's
previous Christmas productions Alice The Musical, Hansel & Grettel, and Red -
The Red Riding Hood Musical.  Paul's musical Pinocchio, which was produced as
the Lyric's Christmas show in 2006, was nominated as Best Show for Children and
Young People at the 2007 TMA Theatre Awards.

It's the first time that Richard has directed one of Paul's shows for the Lyric,
and Paul commented: "It's great to be working with Richard and to be
collaborating on a production for the Lyric, where so many of my shows started
out.  We're having a lot of fun working on the show, and I know the audience is
going to have just as much fun watching!"

The Tale of the Beauty and the Tail of the Beast runs from Friday 4 December
through to Saturday 9 January 2010. For further information on discounts, dates,

Notes to Editors:

• The Lyric is the only full-time producing theatre in Northern Ireland. The
company had to close its venue on Ridgeway Street in January 2008 and is now
operating a programme of touring productions and education activities whilst
planning and fundraising to build a new state-of-the-art theatre. Further
details of the Lyric's programme of activities can be found on
HTTP://www.lyrictheatre.co.uk .

• It is anticipated that the Lyric's new theatre will open in early 2011. The
Lyric began a fundraising campaign in 2003 and has now raised 95% of the capital
costs. Key supporters include the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure, the
Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Belfast City Council and a wide range of
private donors, corporate sponsors, trusts and foundations. Further details of
the Lyric's fundraising campaign and supporters can be found on

TAKE 22 FOR FOYLE FILM FESTIVAL

The filmmaking community is set to descend on Derry today as Northern Ireland’s International film spectacular, Foyle Film Festival is back for its 22nd year. This year the festival celebrates ‘Art & The Cinema’ – embracing cinema as an art form in itself but also as the magical vehicle that can give the audience an exciting and inspiring glimpse into other artistic worlds.

Workshops include ‘Pitching Skills’ and ‘How To Break Into The Film Industry’ with Elliot Grove. Local girl Orla O’Connor returns to deliver a ‘Casting Masterclass’ for all budding actors. Renowned Director Kenny Glenaan will also deliver a much-anticipated masterclass. First Light, the UK’s leading initiative enabling young people to realise their potential via creative digital film and media projects, will host a ‘Networking/Speed Dating Event'.

The festival is renowned for showcasing the best in international and challenging cinema, and this year is no exception: the Opening Night Film is ‘The Boys Are Back’ with leading man Clive Owen assuming the role of a lone parent when his young wife tragically dies, and the Closing Night Film is this year’s foreign language Oscar winner ‘Departures’.

Universal Children's Day takes place on November 20 annually.

Universal Children's Day is simply set to honor children by;

  • promoting mutual exchange and understanding among children
  • initiating action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children
  • celebrating childhood!

Universal Children's Day (20 November) celebrates children just for being themselves. It reminds us that children need love and respect to grow to their full potential. It is a day to listen to children, to marvel at their uniqueness and all they have to offer.

November 20 is also the anniversary of the The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child – an international convention setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of children.

The adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the creation of Universal Children's Day reflects the growing recognition that children are important and valued members of society, now and in the future.

Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child says that states shall:

"… respect and promote the right of the child to participate fully in cultural and artistic life."

We believe live theatre is essential to the artistic, cultural, social and spiritual development of today's young people. Every civilisation and culture has enjoyed the art of theatre… celebrating difference and unity.

"Children Need Theatre…as much as they need to run about in the fresh air" – Philip Pullman

Subject: actors needed

Hello there Studio NI Hope you well!

We would love it if you could put a message out for VOLUNTEER actors

First of all we need a stunning girl for a lead role. No apologies here: she has
to be gorgeous for this part to work. We will also need another 10 actors for
various roles. Two other main roles are the parts of the goths. The filming will
mostly be done as soon as the daffodils come in Feb - March. Hence we have no
definitive schedule as yet so flexibility is a must for this provoking surreal
sci-fi black comedy. If any one is interested in volunteering for these roles
could they please send in their photographs and cvs to
alan@... . Therefore in terms of equity etc, actors
cannot be paid and as stated are volunteering. We will then
arrange auditions and screen tests and reveal more!

Hello to the actors who replied to the first call out.  Hope you have been well
since I last contacted you about Yellow Fever?s emotional sci-fi movie, ?The
Truth about Tom Dick and Harry? written by my good self.

Originally we had planned to do earlier in the year but circumstances
conspired against us. Anyway George Clarke and I want to shoot in
feb-march-april when the daffodils are in full splendour. However, although that
is a few months of, we want to put our cast together ASAP and have several
rehearsals under our belt- and lines learnt and perfected to a tea so shooting
will last 3 weeks at the very most. So what I want to find out if you would be
available around this time for the shoot and up to rehearsing at least twice a
month. If you are, great! I will send you the script and arrange for an audition
time with George and I. The film will then be shown at Yellow Fever?s
International Independent Film Festival in August so exposure for this piece and
yourself will be great if picked for the part.The female lead has to beautiful
and intriguing with a slight edge of alluring devilment. The two main leads are
going to be goth like and have to convey a lot of subtle emotion. There are at
least 5 other parts.

This is a change of direction for Yellow Fever as it is a complete
dialogue driven movie so the casting and acting has to be first rate for the
production to work. So get back to me as soon as possible so we can get
cracking! Send in your CV and head shots to alan@...
and george@...

07887507443

All the best, alan
Ps check out all the wonderful links below to see what Yellow Fever?s been up
to.

Regan O'Brien is a professional actor/director who is studying a postgraduate
degree in Drama and Performance Studies at Queens University.

As part of my research I am exploring the development of feminine performance
structures which reference; flocking in nature, networking, personal memory,
desire and song.

I am looking for three performing artists who are interested in developing (or
refining) their personal practice as a means to building their own line of
physical and vocal action for a work-in-progress presentation.
It is an exchange of skills arrangement as there is no budget to pay
participants.

If you are interested or require further information I will be facilitating an
audition/Group work-session on Tuesday 24th November at 7pm in Brian Friel
Studio.

During this session I will be giving a workshop on my own practice which I have
been developing over the last 8 years as a performance practitioner and vocal
coach.

The rehearsal period will be three weeks part-time(3 hours per day mon-fri).It
is an excellent opportunity to work intensively on composition technique and
body-voice training.

At the end of this time the participants will have created a personal line of
investigation into action score composition and begun to write their own solo
which will be performed in January.
It's all about you!

If you need to contact me you can call my phone +353(0)860709766
or Mail me at Reegs@... or robrien05@...

I look forward to hearing from you.

Foyle Film Festival is renowned for showcasing the best in international and
contemporary cinema.  This year is no exception with many of the films and
documentaries in this year's programme screening for the first time in Ireland,
Northern Ireland, and the UK.

The 22nd Foyle Film Festival kicks off on Friday 20 November @ 8pm with the
Opening Night Film, and Northern Ireland Premiere, of Clive Owen's latest film
`The Boys Are Back'.  Inspired by a true story, the film is a deeply moving,
wryly confessional tale of fatherhood, that intimately evokes both the fragility
and wonders of family life.  It follows a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented
sportswriter (Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe® winner Clive Owen) who,
in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying
state of single parenthood.  Academy Award® nominee Scott Hicks (`Shine')
directs from a screenplay by Allan Cubitt based on the acclaimed 2001 memoir by
Simon Carr, The Boys Are Back In Town, an unflinchingly funny and honest
recounting of his journey from grieving husband to full-contact fatherhood in
the aftermath of profound loss.  Clive Owen has been receiving rave reviews for
his performance, and even whispers of Oscar glory for next year.  This movie
will take a piece out of you." – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.  `The Boys Are
Back' is followed by an Opening Night Party in the Void Gallery.

Actor Michael Keaton steps behind the camera for his directorial debut with the
Irish Premiere of `The Merry Gentleman' - a heady mix of suspense, gentle
romance and quiet humour – a riveting, uniquely entertaining tale of forgiveness
and redemption that blends a hopeful spirit with a surprisingly dark heart. 
"Michael Keaton's impressive directing debut of a film about the complications
of human connections is haunting… Everything about the film is beautifully spare
and exceedingly refined…" – Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

The Festival's Closing Night Film `Departures' receives its Northern Ireland
Premiere on Saturday 28 November.  Daigo Kobayashi is a devoted cellist in an
orchestra that has just been dissolved and now finds himself without a job.  He
answers a classified ad entitled "Departures" thinking it is an advertisement
for a travel agency only to discover that the job is actually for a "Nokanshi"
or "encoffineer," a funeral professional who prepares deceased bodies for burial
and entry into the next life.  The film follows his profound and sometimes
comical journey with death as he uncovers the wonder, joy and meaning of life
and living.  Best Foreign Language Oscar winner this year, and the highest
grossing movie of all time in Japan with audiences lining round the block and
old movie cinemas re-opening to meet the demand to see this amazing movie. 
Competition Winners of the Light In Motion (LIM) Awards will be announced before
the Closing Night Film.
`The Boys Of St. Columb's' screens in competition at this year's festival and,
schedule permitting, the director Tom Collins will introduce this screening. 
The documentary tells the story of 8 men who started out in St. Columb's school
in Derry.  Born around the second-world war, they knew fear and segregation as
young boys.  Looking to education, they saw the one thing that would raise them
out of their oppression. This education would lead them to become some of the
most important figures in Irish culture in recent history.  This documentary
invites an audience of young and old to hear the story of Seamus Heaney (Nobel
Laureate), John Hume (Nobel Laureate), Ambassador James Sharkey, Phil Coulter,
Paul Brady, Eamonn McCann, Seamus Deane and Bishop Edward Daly.

`Ice Bears Of The Beaufort' was filmed by a single arctic resident and is the
sole visual record documenting Alaska's eastern Beaufort Sea coast as a de facto
polar bear sanctuary.  Non-narrated, with an original score by Nashville's
Patrick O'Hearn, the polar bears tell their own story in this meditative,
cinematic documentary.  "Without doubt, for me, one of the most moving,
powerful, and compelling works of art I have seen this season… (a)
sophisticated, complex film.  You have to see it on the big screen… You will
never see, hear, or think about the arctic or polar bears the same way." –
Patricia Zimmerman, Co-Director, Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival

`Till The Tenth Generation' is a moving documentary about Holocaust survivor
Tomi Reichental.  For nearly 60 years Slovak-born Tomi Reichental remained
silent about his experiences as a nine-year-old boy incarcerated in the Nazi
death camp of Bergen - Belsen.  Now as the ranks of Holocaust survivors living
in Ireland dwindle to a handful, Tomi has broken his silence and speaks to
second level students all over the country about the rise of Fascism and the
murder of 35 members of his family.  In this remarkable film, Tomi embarks on a
mission of remembrance and returns for the first time to the scenes of his
childhood torment at the hands of the Gestapo and their Slovak collaborators. 
Tomi Reichental will introduce this screening and, with the director Gerry
Gregg, answer questions afterwards.

For the first time ever, in `Anne Perry:Interiors' crime fiction writer Anne
Perry has granted a camera team access to her secluded home in the Scottish
Highlands where she lives and works with her loyal entourage of friends and
family.  With over 50 books written and sales exceeding 25 million copies
worldwide, Anne Perry is one of the premier crime fiction authors of our time.
Loved by her fans and critically acclaimed, Anne is in a league of her own. 
Yet, Anne Perry's name does not only stand for the crime-ridden Victorian world
of her novels.  It is also attached to a murder that took place when she was
only 15.  The story made it to the big screen in the 1990s - the film `Heavenly
Creatures' featured Kate Winslet as Anne (`Heavenly Creatures' will screen @
8.45pm).

`Bustin' Down The Door' tells the vibrant, action-filled story of a group of
seventies surfers – Australians Ian Cairns, Mark Richards, Peter Townend and
Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew, plus South Africans Shaun and Michael Tomson – who
hit Hawaii with the aim of revolutionising wave riding, and the dream of making
it a professional sport. Filled with anecdotes, heavy on emotion, a pumping
soundtrack, and gorgeous surfing footage from the seventies (complete with retro
sun flares and rocking fashions of the era).

Other premiere screenings to look out for at this year's Foyle Film Festival:
`The Stoning Of Soraya M.', which exposes the dangers of religious
fundamentalism, gender apartheid, and mob rule, with this fictionalised
adaptation of Freidoune Sahebjam's best-selling novel centering on a true-life
tragedy.  The story takes place in 1986, just as Khomeini is coming into power
in Iran.  `Modern Life' takes the audience on a journey down winding country
lanes and behind rural backwaters, Raymond Depardon has spent 20 years making
friends with a dying breed of farmers who are defiantly old school, treating
newcomers and women with equal suspicion.  'Grove Roots' traces the evolution of
Ladbroke Grove from the 1958 race riots to the ethnically rich place it is
today. The film unearths the pivotal history of the area, including the rise of
the Notting Hill Carnival.  Featuring the voices of renowned screenwriter
Richard Curtis as well as other local musicians, artists, community workers and
residents.  `Killing Girls' In contemporary Russia 80% of the female population
have between 2 and 10 each.  `Killing Girls' brings the audience into the world
of an abortion clinic that specializes in late term abortions. Produced and
directed by Belfast man, and acclaimed filmmaker David Kinsella, `Killing Girls'
uses a uniquely feature film aesthetic to tell a very powerful and moving story.
`The Great Contemporary Art Bubble' Remembers when the global economy was
booming?  The price of everything was doubling.  There were 1,000 billionaires
on the planet, and rising.  World Markets were full of bubbles; but one bubble
was bigger than all the rest …Contemporary ART.  `Brasileirinho' is a lush and
colourful documentary that pays tribute to choro, the overlooked but very
important musical style which forms the basis for Brazilian bossa, samba, and
more.  Filmed in and around Rio, the film features plenty of irresistible
footage of choro musicians in full swing. If you rated `Buena Vista Social Club'
then this film is worth checking out.

Screening as part of the IFI French Film Festival

Presented in association with HORRORTHON

The Horde (La Horde)

Thursday 26th November - 10.00pm - IFI Cinema 1

Low-budget Zombie action flick, The Horde, the first film by directing
duo Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher, has been dividing genre fans
since its official world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in
August. Set on the outskirts of Paris, the film centres on four
corrupt cops out for vengeance after the gangland slaying of a fellow
police officer. They soon find themselves in trouble, trapped and
cornered in the mobster’s hideout. Then the chaos really kicks-off as
hordes of cannibalistic zombies invade the building thirsting for the
blood of both gangster and cop. Could happen, right? The latest
addition to France’s Horror output (Mutants, Frontière(s), Inside… et
al) is relentlessly violent, very bloody and not for the faint of
heart. You have been warned!

‘pulse-racing and thoroughly compelling’ – Damon Wise, Empire Online

Hope everything is well with you all. Just a quick note to let you all know that this Friday (the 20th) myself and Clive Culbertson will be performing at the Down Arts Centre in Downpatrick (box office details for forthcoming shows are listed below) and the following Saturday night we're back in action as a trio at the Ardhowen Theatre in Enniskillen (the 28th). Then there's a solo In the Round appearance with Paul Casey and Eilidh Patterson at the Halo restaurant in Derry/Londonderry on Sunday the 29th, which looks like being a lot of fun.

 

Tickets are also starting to go quickly for the Portstewart gig the Monday before Christmas - the 21st (the one with the mulled wine and the mince pies!)

 

 I'll have some more news shortly - including some free stuff for everyone. In the meantime, keep in touch and stay warm!

THE WHITE RIBBON


*Winner Palme d'Or at 2009 Cannes Film Festival*


Long time QFT favourite Michael Haneke is on top form in this  beautifully constructed tapestry of malice and intrigue set in a rural village in pre-World War I Germany.

A rich, detailed work laden with sinister undertones and evil this is Haneke’s unique take on the classic whodunnit, full of mystery and taut tension.

THE BEACHES OF AGNES


Irrepressible and enquiring, grandmother of the French New Wave, Agnès Varda is a force of nature, and even at eighty shows no signs of slowing down.

Now, in what she says will be her last film, she turns her camera on herself, returning to the beaches which have played such a significant part in her life to create a film autobiography.
