The trailer for ‘struggling student filmmaker’ Dara McConnell’s heroin shocker Diane. Dara writes:

I’m looking for a way to get my new film some attention. Unashamedly self promoting this like a mad thing but not really getting the attention I think it deserves.

Intense.

This erotic ‘gaucho’ dance by Danish silent-era diva Asta Nielsen from the 1910 film ‘Afgrunden’ (directed by Peter Urban Gad) caused something of an uproar in its day.

It’s still pretty damn rorty.

Composer and improvisation master Richard Grayson rising to the challenge of performing The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s theme from Star Wars) in the style of Beethoven.

Nails it.

(We originally posted this back in 2010, but it’s doing the rounds again and is well worth a listen if you missed it.)

Director Rob McLellan’s unnerving horror short about an android and the unfortunate human object of its desire.

Interview with the director here.

Since its release, MGM has aquired the rights to turn the short into a full length feature film.

Lenny Abrahamson, award-winning director of Garage, What Richard Did, Adam and Paul and Prosperity is to direct the screen adaptation of Emma Donoghue’s Man Booker nominated novel Room.

Room has sold over 2 and a half million copies worldwide and tells the story of a mother and child held captive in a shed.

If it’s consistency you’re looking for in directing, Lenny arguably, is yer only man.

Fair play though, in fairness.
