They are showing Tom Yum Goong and Banlieue 13.

Mordib, you could go?

Gordon Liu will be there, you could try and get a high-five off him... unless he counteracts it with a slap to the face.

I might try and make it to the Leeds one this year. I usually go to the Edinburgh one (which is excellent) but I've found that Leeds shows some rare little gems.

Plus I can get a flight from Aberdeen to Leeds.

i never went to the leeds one, simply becuase i walwyas thought it was amateur student films...stupid me, so this year i really am intent on going to atleast 1 film. hopefully more

its great when we have such things on our doorsteps.

The following films made their debut in Leeds:

Cutie Honey
Ghost in the Shell 2
Steam Boy
+ a whole lot of cool Asian films...

Usually we had to wait like 1 or 2 years for the DVD.

Mind you, I'm sure a couple of amateur students managed to get their films in the lineup.

yeah i should think so.

i REALLY wanted to go the bradford film festical they had a new anthony hopkins film showing "the fastest indian" and a thai horror movie called "the ghost of mae nak" but they showed pretty later (9:30pm sometimes) so my parents were not so happy about me going alone to bradford on friday and saturday nights beacuase of all the pissheads. so gutted i missed them
