Gig Rowing - Zennor Regatta, Newlyn
We had a great day at Zennor Regatta yesterday with the Portreath Pilot Gig Club. After the men's A team had rowed I filmed the end of the mixed race before we packed up. Stunning views over St Michael's Mount. Zennor put on a great event on a lovely day with really nice, reasonably priced food and drink, and everyone was really friendly. Anyone looking to get have a go, try contacting your local team on Facebook. A good fun, accessible sport.

FRIDAY 11th NOVEMBER 2016 | NEWLYN FILMHOUSE
British Break Through Filmmaker
Adult Life Skills | Dir: Rachel Tunnard | UK | 2016 | 96 mins | 15
Expanding her BAFTA-nominated short film, writer/director Rachel Tunnard has crafted a charmingly offbeat comedy-drama featuring a wonderful central performance by Jodie Whitaker as Anna, a young woman approaching 30 who has refused to deal with life after the death of her twin. Living in a shed in her mother’s backyard, she hides in her imagination (and makes amusing movies featuring her thumbs), but faces her arrested development when she bonds with a troubled young boy. A magical and engaging new British film. Lovers of the Hoff won’t be disappointed either!
“Rachel Tunnard’s impressive debut takes a lighter look at the stresses of modern living” - Little White Lies
Director Rachel Tunnard does a fine job of balancing the film’s laughs and its tears without feeling as though it’s forcing either. ★★★★ - Jonathan Pile, EMPIRE

SUNDAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2016 | NEWLYN FILMHOUSE
Under the Shadows | Dir: Babak Anvari | Iran, Jordan, Qatar, UK | Persian | 2016 | 84 mins
Iranian-born British filmmaker Babak Anvari marks his feature debut with this disquieting psychological horror. Laced with tension and a keen sense of social and feminist commentary, it’s set in 1988 against the backdrop of the Iran-Iraq war and follows Shideh (Narges Rashidi), marked as a subversive for her support of the liberal opposition. When her husband is forced to leave due to the conflict, Shideh is left with her daughter Dorsa (Avin Manshadi) to hide in their otherwise deserted apartment block. As their relationship fractures, the real world and the supernatural collide to chillingly
malevolent effect. Mining the rich vein of terror from kindred (otherworldly) spirits The Babadook and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Anvari shrewdly conjures scares through a realism that incorporates both ominous ambiguity and political allegory. As with the finest horrors, the film’s atmosphere owes much to its superlative sound design; Anvari pays respect to the genre’s established aural cues, yet executes them with a flair that creates a distinctive identity. This is a standout debut that touches on evils both supernatural and real.
‘Under the Shadow’s triumph lies in its ability to critique Iran’s post-revolution sexism while still working as a full-throttle horror’.
‘Under the Shadow serves as an impassioned allegory for female oppression – but Anvari doesn’t shortchange horror fans. He delivers an entertainment that’s fun to watch, and subversively incisive for those willing to read between the lines’ - Nigel M Smith, The Guardian

Hunt for the Wilderpeople | Dir: Taika Waititi | New Zealand | English | 2016 | 101 mins
Winner of the 2014 CFF Audience Award, Director Taika Waititi of cult vampire comedy What We Do In the Shadows returns with the utterly hilarious Hunt for the Wilderpeople, which screened to acclaim at Sundance. Raised on hip-hop and foster care, defiant city kid Ricky (Julian Dennison) gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside. He quickly finds himself at home with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec (Sam Neill), and dog Tupac. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another home, both he and Hec go on the run in the bush. As a national manhunt ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family. Equal parts road comedy and rousing adventure story masterfully weaves lively humor with emotionally honesty. A hilarious, touching crowd-pleaser, Hunt for the Wilderpeople reminds us about the journey that growing up is (at any age) and those who help us along the way.

SATURDAY 12th NOVEMBER 2016 | NEWYN FILMHOUSE
Burn, Burn, Burn | Dir: Chanya Button | UK | English | 2015 | 106 mins
Burn Burn Burn is the confident directorial debut by British filmmaker Chanya Button – is more than a typical road-movie comedy. It’s a sincere exploration of loss, grief and forgiveness and a voyage of self discovery. Laura Carmichael might be best known for her role as Lady Edith Crawley in the TV period drama series Downton Abbey and Alex (Chloe Pirrie), who after the death of their close friend James (Jack Farthing), embark on a road trip across Britain to spread his ashes – still semi-accompanied by Jack via the comic instructional videos and messages he's left behind. En route, they meet an array of outlandish characters who both help and hinder their quest, while facing difficult truths about their shared past and the secrets they carry with them. Bolstered by clever casting in the cameo department (Sally Phillips and Alice Lowe are particularly hilarious highlights), Button injects great, crowd-pleasing levity into this very personal story about the difficulty of embracing one’s true self.
