STRIP!
With Ben Barton still recovering from his very own stag night, it seems fitting that his new film Stag Movie has just had it's premiere at the Striplite night in London. This mix of burlesque, short films and other saucy entertainment is the perfect venue for the film, which uses found footage of old girlie movies and a 70s disco soundtrack. Marilyn Monroe and Joan Crawford are both said to have starred in 'stag' movies early in their careers, so we're in good company, I guess...

ANYONE FOR A BRAZILIAN?
Yep, Brazil here we come...! OK - we couldn't afford the air fare, and we're watching those nasty carbon emissions too, but the Roundeye films are winging their way to the Curitiba Super 8 Film Festival. Uphill for Jesus is one of dozens of films that will be screened in the Caixa Cultural Cinema from November 25th. Tickets are free too.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET - ELLEN LOVE
Check out these pictures taken from the rough cut of The Return of Ellen Love - Roundeye's latest film. Still very much in progress (we're hoping to screen this early in the new year) it has been all hands on deck, with Jennifer working on music, the Vanstones busy lino cutting the new titles and Ben splicing the film. We can't wait for you to see it, so don't go changing channels anytime soon, okay?

ROUNDEYE, CROSS THE MERSEY
Ben Barton's film Uphill for Jesus has been shown at the Wolstenholme Screenings in Liverpool. It was one of nine artist's films installed throughout the gallery, projected continuously for one night only in a show collated by Leo Fitzmaurice.
Here are some photos from the show - to watch the Jesus film visitors had to perch on a little wooden chair and view it one at a time.
