Last Hope




Spunk Presents...'Last Hope'

A series of sixteen original short films compiled by Andrew Kidman (Glass Love/ Litmus) and Spunk Records.


Andrew Kidman chose six of his favourite surfing filmmakers to create short films that were inspired by the sea. The filmmakers include Albert Falzon (Morning Of The Earth), Jon Frank (Litmus), Monty Webber, Michelle Lockwood (Kids) and American underground surf filmmakers Patrick Trefz (Thread) and Richard Kenvin (Hydrodynamica). Kidman also provides four special cuts of his own.

The filmmakers created their short films to music selected by Aaron Curnow from some of the greatest independent contemporary artists; Smog, Sufjan Stevens, Mogwai, My Morning Jacket, Dirty Three, Holly Throsby, Vetiver, Bonnie Prince Billy and The Brown Birds From Windy Hill.

Initially the Last Hope DVD is being released with a bonus CD of the films soundtrack. Plus a 24 page booklet with thoughts, interviews and images from the filmmakers in some damn fancy one off packaging.

ATP Film premiere and concert - 24th June



Future Cinema & Warp X announce unique All Tomorrow’s Parties concert to follow UK Film Premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival

Future Cinema and Warp X, in association with ATP, have released tickets to ‘The Night of Musical Delights’, a spectacular concert that will follow the UK Premiere screening of ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on June 24th.

The concert is part of a unique live cinema event presented by Future Cinema – the creative force behind Secret Cinema - which will see the Edinburgh Picturehouse transformed into a 1950s Holiday Camp for the screening. Audiences will see and hear the film brought to life through a fusion of music and performance, complete with midnight bingo, Northern Soul dancers and lovely legs competitions.

The concert will feature live music and DJ’s including Belle and Sebastian's Chris Geddes, and culminate in a very special headline set from a top-secret Scottish act.

ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES is a kaleidoscopic journey into the parallel musical universe of the cult music festival of the same name. The film is a semi-found multi media bricolage shot by over two hundred filmmakers, fans and musicians over the festival’s recent history, with key contributions from co-director Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation) and cinematographer Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows, Arcade Fire). The film is co-developed and financed by the Warp X partners, Film4, UKFC, EM Media and Screen Yorkshire.

Tickets to ‘The Night of Musical Delights’ are on sale now. More information is available at www.futurecinema.co.uk

Combined tickets to the screening & concert are also on sale and can be purchased through the Edinburgh International Film Festival Box Office.
www.edfilmfest.org.uk

Following its Edinburgh premiere, there will be a series of special events across the UK in September to tie-in with the September 21st DVD release of ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES.
