The Dinard Festival of British Film - Rupert Howe's mobile video and photo blog

Rupert Howe's mobile video and photo blog

From October 8th to 11th 2009, I'm videoblogging and photoblogging le Festival du Film Britannique de Dinard - the Dinard Festival of British Film.

I've been flown over to Dinard by the Festival's PR company, along with a mass of people from the industry and press - to cover it on the web, as it happens.

But this is not an official blog. It won't be full of polite and polished praise. It's just me, doing my thing. Exactly as I do at twittervlog.tv.

I'll be tweeting news and results at http://twitter.com/ruperthowe - so follow me there, too.

Interview with director Dominic Murphy, winner of the Hitchcock D'Or Best Film Award at Dinard

(download)

Dominic's film White Lightnin' won Best Film and also Best Cinematography at the Dinard Festival of British Film. As I mentioned here in an earlier post just after I'd seen it, I loved it. This was the one interview I was keenest to shoot - I actually shot it on Friday, but was waiting until the end to post so that it would stay near the top of the blog. And then White Lightnin' won! A surprisingly bold and smart decision from the Jury. Shot with a Nokia N86 cameraphone

Director Christopher Smith talks about making Triangle, out in the UK this week

(download)

Triangle was the last film I saw at Dinard, and it's yet another cracker. It's an edge-of-the-seat twisty-turny time loop suspense movie. A bit like Memento meets Dead Calm - but with Angel from Home and Away instead of Mike from Neighbours (or Nicole Kidman - note to self: never get on a yacht with an Aussie). It's out in the UK this Friday - go see it!

The Jury

Jury press call on the Thalassa Hotel terrace with Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins and lots of French celebs whose names I should know. I got all girlishly starstruck with Sally Hawkins because Happy Go Lucky was my favourite film of the last year and she's just like her character... while all the other men went silly for the femme fatale poledancing with the union jack.
