Based on documents compiled by leading French philosopher Michel Foucault I Pierre Riviere a unique and original film charts the gruesome events which took place in a Normandy village in 1835 when a young man Pierre Riviere murdered his mother sister and brother before fleeing to the countryside. With a cast made up of real-life villagers from the area where the events took place the detailed re-enactments and careful attention to the gestures of their ancestors serve to create an intense and sometimes disturbing atmosphere of hyper-realism. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives including the written confession of Pierre himself and form a rich and complex narrative that interrogates the concepts of 'truth' and 'history'. Radical bold and uncompromising director Rene Allio's extraordinary work is at one and the same time an ethnographic enquiry an historical reconstruction and an unflinching portrait of psychopathology and its aftermath.

Part action film part documentary 'Red Trousers' explores the lives and careers of some of the world's most undervalued professionals: the stunt men and women that contribute so much to Hong Kong cinema. Director Robin Shou a familiar face from 'Mortal Kombat' explores the ups and downs of this risky business; while much stunt work around the world (particularly in Hollywood) is created via special effects and computer animation Hong Kong action films rely on the bravery and skills of actual people. Stunt men and women working in Hong Kong films may perform purer much more dangerous stunts than their American counterparts but they are sometimes treated more or less as props and all-too-often given little or no medical attention... Difficult situations life-threatening work and gruelling training (even during childhood) are just some of the darker aspects of stunt work that Shou is keen to highlight. While the perks of such a career are seemingly nonexistent the men and women here find great joy in knowing that some of the greatest moments in films would not exist without their artistic contributions. Winner of the Outstanding Achievement In Filmmaking Award at the 2003 Newport Beach Film Festival 'Red Trousers' features an illustrious list of contributors. In addition to the incomparable Sammo Hung Lau Kar-Leung (director of 'Drunken Monkey' and the Shaw Bros classic 'Spiritual Boxer') Asian cinema expert Mike Leeder (contemporary of Bey Logan) and stuntman Jude Poyer (stunt co-ordinator on Category III movies with Wong Jing & Clarence Ford) all make appearances.

The 13th Sign is a no-budget horror-action flick in which a solar-eclipse provides the backdrop for all manner of cultish goings-on in rural England. Obvious fans of The Wicker Man, directors Adam Mason and Jonty Acton gamely try to imbue the action with that film's sinister tones, most notably through the creepy rural setting and the appearance of a suave, philosophy-spouting country lord. Sadly they don't stop there, also throwing in (among a plethora of other jarring and disparate elements) a copious dose of supernatural mumbo-jumbo and a trio of cyberpunk hitmen. The film's miniscule budget is an Achilles' heel that cannot be disguised by enthusiasm alone. It is all very well staging a Desperado-style face-off to wow your audience, but its impact will inevitably be dampened somewhat if it has to take place outside the village Co-op. What we are left with then is a buxom, blood-drenched heroine gamely fighting a losing battle against bizarre bounty-hunters, lazily possessed rednecks, unconvincingly fiery-eyed demons and production values that make The 13th Sign look like the goriest and most convoluted You've Been Framed clip of all time. --Paul Philpott
