Goodbye to the Lookout Cafe |
|
Our last ever film show at the Lookout was a sell out on Thursday 29th October 2010.
The main feature, a fascinating documentary about Mark Bittner, who cared for the wild parrots of San Francisco, focused on someone who was trying to help and understand the natural world but this was preceded by a short film emphasising the harm that can be done to it. We were delighted to welcome Saffron Summerfield, a singer, composer and sound artist as well as being a film-maker, who introduced her film Mermaid's Tears. Saffron had used Kimmeridge Bay as the setting for her film and explained that Mermaid's Tears are the small plastic pellets, the waste product of the plastics industry, washed up on shores around the world which end up in the guts and stomachs of fish, birds and sea mammals, causing great harm. The two films made a fitting end to our evenings at the cafe.
We have been showing films at the Lookout Cafe for 5 years and shall miss this cosy and welcoming venue. Thanks to all the Lookout people who have been so helpful and supportive of the Festival over this time. We look forward to returning to Durlston Castle when it reopens in 2011. |

Ticket sales over the web have been very encouraging so far.
Nevertheless, we know some of you are having problems, so thought it useful to set out the reasons we have discovered so far. We want the on-line sales to be as easy and streamlined as possible, whilst using the PayPal payment gateway.
Here are some answers to frequently asked questions which may be helpful.

Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) |
|
When an actor is more famous for their private life or image (or in Marilyn Monroe’s case, both) then perhaps it’s best to focus on the films. Besides, the details of Monroe’s troubled life are well enough known. |

The Film Festival would like to record its  great sadness following the death of its president Sir Bill Cotton. He took a warm and supportive interest in the work of the Festival attending with Lady Cotton the opening and closing nights and coming along to many of the film shows in the grounds of Corfe Castle and the village halls.
At the end of each Festival the Cottons would invite the whole Committee to lunch where the successes and failures of recent fortnight were inevitably discussed but there was also much laughter and camaraderie. The Festival has lost not only a wise and experienced counsellor but a generous friend who will be greatly missed.
