Two years ago we went to this film festival at L'Abri in Hampshire. PG kindly drove us there and back in his teeny old car and we had a whale of a time listening to Lionel Richie (an education for me).
The films were...
Breaking and Entering
East of Eden
The Story of the Weeping Camel
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape
Little Miss Sunshine
The Seventh Seal
The conversations were great (I stayed up for hours chatting with a Danish graphic designer working in Japan - just like being an undergrad at Cambridge all over again, except slightly less pretentious), the food was great, and although Ellis Potter's contention that "art = purposeful human activity" was slightly irritating, albeit nicely delivered, a good time was had by all.
We missed last year - just too busy - but this October we will be heading down to the Manor House again. The menu is...
Gran Torino
Mon Oncle
Persopolis
Kitchen Stories
Three Colours Blue
Tsotsi
Man on Wire
And although I have seen two of those already, I shall cope!
