Last night at Chapter MovieMaker: it was busy

Oh so many of you came - slightly too many, in fact - but it went surprisingly well. Exiled filmmakers David Melkevik and James Plumb were briefly allowed in to present Anticipation; Casey Raymond and Ewan Jones-Morris unveiled Hollow Trees House Hounds, a music video for Cate Le Bon; Kevin Jones and the Fiction Factory team told the story of The Cornet Player; Malcolm Boorer introduced us to the work of Victor Jara and A Song for Angelita; Mark Williams and the Phaelon folk led us Off The Beaten Track; then Ryan Owen, Ben Reed and the Race Horses gave everyone a big slice of Cake.
