What a wonderful way to end the year, and also to mark a decade (!) since we made and launched From Scotland With Love - The Film on an unsuspecting world. King Creosote was in fine form for a post-screening wee set of gems, and director, Virginia Heath did a lovely intro. Thanks to Anstruther Improvements Association for organising such a successful screening. If you need to get a last minute Xmas gift for a far flung fond relative, (or someone dear and close by...!!!), look no further than here: https://www.journeyman.tv/film/8195/from-scotland-with-love

Incredible films from Hungary, all the more so given the hostile political environment for documentary film makers working in that country. Notable films include KIX, a 12-year chronicle of a boy’s transformation into a public enemy and The Lost Notebook, which follows the discovery of a diary documenting a Hungarian man’s 2,158 visits to cinemas, which I had the privilege of mentoring.

The full festival program and tickets are available on the festival's website.

Must watch TV...

This documentary is an inspiring look at the astonishingly brave activists who took on the National Front in the 1970s and 80s – and changed Britain for the better. It’s full of dark parallels with today

well. You really can't say we weren't warned... (repeatedly)...

Global concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide climbed to unseen levels in 2023, underlining climate crisis

The extraordinary things about capitalism, is that it concentrates wealth and power into ever fewer hands. Making it easy to fix the problems it creates. 57 companies... 122 entities linked to 72% of all the fossil fuel and cement CO2 emissions since the start of the industrial revolution... The answer is staring us in the face.

An outrageous attack in Thessaloniki Thessaloniki International Film Festival and a brave and widespread response!!!

Thousands rallied on Sunday night after an attack on a transgender couple by a mob of nearly 200 youths this weekend rattled the Greek doc festival.
