FilmLive

Hello, we are FilmLive! A creative community that aims to connect, inspire and educate young Scottish filmmakers, provide practical opportunities and a platform to showcase their creative talents. We have recently launched our new and improved website and are branching out even further and tackling the world of online television through FilmLive!TV.

We've just came back from the Edinburgh International Film Festival, where we were let loose in the capital with camera in tow to create the daily shows. They feature interviews with film makers and actors, film reviews and acted as the inside eye for industry and delegate events.

Visit FilmLive.org - Filmmakers Network: Bringing Filmmakers Together in Scotland, UK and International now to watch the special festival series and register your details in our directory.

Cheers!

Hi, an introduction two years late i know, but i feel i may now have browsed the forum, and seen enough british film and television to actually make a contribution!

most of the good television had been destroyed long before i was born, and i never had the opportunity to see much british film till i was older.

bear in mind, i still may be asking a fair few more questions of the older and wiser of you out there than i can answer!

Ps. if anyone ever notices anything wrong with anything i post, please say, i'm not brilliant with forums.

thanks. hopefully i can contribute what limited knowledge i have to the forums.

Hi,
I'm a new member from the US, and very excited to find forums for British movies and shows as its difficult to actually watch them.
I love Absolutely Fabulous and am really interested in work that Julia Sawalha has done, which I am finding is opening me up to other works.
So anyway, thanks for providing this great site.

Hello and welcome to crickette (and other new members)
Have you ever seen Press Gang? It was the breakthrough series that introduced us to Julia Sawalha and many other great young actors as well as to the writing of Steven Moffat

A bunch of school kids set up a newspaper for the young, named "Junior Gazette". The series follows these kids both on the job and in private.

Superb writing, brilliant performances, a wonderful series

Im lexxy, I love filmmaking but, honestly, there are two jobs in the process that I know I can’t do—I can’t produce and I can’t edit. I don’t have the personality of a producer; I am not confrontational by nature and I hate bossing people around. I also don’t care for all that paperwork involved, the permits, releases, phone calls and people to organize. I have a lot of respect for the people who can produce; it’s a tough, tough job. As far as editing is concerned, I just can’t seem to sit myself down in front of a computer for hours and hours on end. I get fidgety, restless and after 20 or 30 minutes I just have to get up and go. Where? Anywhere! Sitting there, I feel like the water building up behind a dam ready to burst through. It is a unique, solitary task. I firmly believe only a few people have the disposition for it, but it is these talented individuals who have the clearest vision of all of us when it comes to what a film could look like. A director seems to imagine concepts in broad, often abstract, strokes. An editor, however, sees each shot in vivid clarity, knowing where it will go, how long it will appear on screen and how to make it most effective.

Hi, I came across this website as I have been searching for some old films that are no longer on dvd, if anyone knows of any good websites that can help me trace them it would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks

Hi. Name's Elly. I came across this forum doing a Google search for a lost hero of mine. Thought I'd better post here before having a look around and posting in 'his' thread.

Hello everybody,
rather differently than most people in the forum I´m not a full time devoted member of a film trading community. However I thought I`d try to get some cooperation from those who carry the key. I´m from Germany and just about to complete my master thesis on David Lodge. The only thing missing is the film version of Nice work or the respective TV series. I´m in a rather desperate situatian and would appreciate all help I can get to obtain one of the films in any kind of format. Thanks in advance, Claudia

Hi All,

Just stumbled across this site by accident, just spend the best part of an afternoon reading some great threads!

I'm passionate about movies, from any era – new, old, whatever. Seems like this is the site for me!

There have been so many movies made about the troubles, which I have to confess that I love to watch, but since we've moved on the're more movies being made in Belfast than about the city and it's history! Tom Hanks was over making "City of Ember" in the Harland and Wolff paint hall. Sir (Lord?) Richard Attenborough was making Closing the ring last year, and we had Vinnie Jones, Patrick Bergin, Lennox Lewis, and Roger Daltrey over in 2005 filming Johnny Was.

Anyways, just a quick "Hi" from me and I'm looking forward to reading and hopefully joining in some threads,

Briso
