Robin Kewell Film Night 20 November 2010
Beastly Christmas (30 mins) Wind (12 mins)

Robin Kewell will be presenting two films he has saved for this last film evening in the current series. The making of these two films stand out on all levels, endurance, rule breaking, chaos and the stories from behind the camera are as mad as the films themselves, both films went on to win several awards.

Beastly Christmas is a film set on a farm where, stallions are harnessed to plough and horses have English classes. Two professional ballet dancers have been invited to take part in a Christmas version of Midsummer Night's Dream with a supporting cast of dogs, horses, llamas, cows, a prize bull and two stallions... all this whilst the farm owner is building a new mud-brick house.

Wind - when the light goes out on a lighthouse the local constabulary, a male voice choir and a group of campanologists all go to the rescue of a ship. This short film stars comedian Stephen Frost with Kerri Jessiman as the lighthouse keepers wife and singer Ben Luxton. Wind

was filmed in an industrial unit during four days and nights of madness. Director Bill Scott's experience as a theatre director is combined with his passion for visual trickery, all the rules of theatre and filming were broken in the making of this short film which has won many awards globally.
