<b>A Boat Retold</b> screens next week, 6-9 February 2015, in Tasmania, which we think marks the furthest screening from where it was shot.<br />
<br />
It will be presented at the <a href="http://www.australianwoodenboatfestival.com.au/" target="_blank">Australian Wooden Boat Festival</a> by <a href="http://www.ianstephen.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ian Stephen</a>, who stars in the film and got the whole project going back in May 2010. Ian will screen the film at his readings, the first of which takes place on Friday 6 February at the Dechaineaux Theatre in Hobart at 6pm.<br />
<br />

Initial duties - this month - are making phone calls and sending emails to a couple of potential interviewees, then in June helping us get to the locations, and also sitting in on the interviews, acting as interpreter if necessary. Please email me if you are interested, or know someone who might be able to help. Thanks.</span></div>

<b>A Boat Retold</b> is screening in Los Angeles on 8th March 2014. The film is part of the RAI Festival of Ethnographic Film's touring programme, highlighting the best films from last year's festival, where Boat was screening in competition (it was shortlisted for the Material Culture and Archeology Prize). As much as we would like to be there, a quick trip to LA doesn't sit very well with our schedules, so will only be there in spirit. But if you're in downtown Los Angeles on the weekend of 7-9 March, and fancy some non-Hollywood fare, stop by the USC Campus and see some films!<br />

We are shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden death of Vadim Yusov, who died at home in Moscow early yesterday. He was 84. We had the pleasure of interviewing him at VGIK last September for our film <i>Andrei Tarkovsky: Cinema of Dreams</i>, and he was charming, funny and full of life. We can't believe he's gone. Raise a glass to one of the greatest of all cinematographers. Vadim Ivanovich! Eternal Memory!</div>

Actress Karen Black has died aged 74. She was guest of honour at the <a href="http://www.miff.org/" target="_blank">Maine International Film Festival</a> last year, when we presented Folie a Deux. MIFF showed a season of Karen's films, including <i>Five Easy Pieces</i>, and what was then her most recent film, <i>Vacationland. </i>Something from the Beeb on the story here:<br />
