Cave of Forgotten Dreams - Werner Herzog's groundbreaking new documentary.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams - we discuss Werner Herzog's documentary, filmed inside a cave that, until 1994, had remained sealed off and forgotten for around 35000 years!

Cave of Forgotten Dreams - We have a review of Cave Of Forgotten Dreams, a feature-length documentary from maverick director, Werner Herzog, who has found a refreshing alternative use for 3D technology. Herzog uses the process to show us the inside of a cavern that, until its discovery in 1994, had remained sealed off and forgotten for around 35,000 years!

Rank Gong Film Pack - We hear about the history of the famous iconic cymbal and how it wound up in Scotland.

The Space Between - Director Tim Barrow discusses the latest project from Scottish filmmakers Lyre Productions who had previous success with road movie "The Inheritance", (which won the Raindance Award at the British Independent Film Awards and was nominated for two Scottish BAFTAs). The city of Edinburgh is the catalyst behind this passionate, life-affirming love story and tale of redemption which was shot over just 17 days in and around the city; featuring streets, parks, rivers, beaches and landmark locations such as Calton Hill, Royal Mile, Arthur's Seat, the Meadows and Cramond Island. 

Our DVD Pick of the Week is Move Over Darling - a classic romantic comedy, delightfully acted by a stellar cast (including James Garner and Doris Day)under the skilled direction of Michael Gordon. 

Insatiable Moon Finally we'll be discussing this film which tackles mental illness and homelessness with compassion. Set in Auckland, New Zealand, the film follows Arthur (Rawiri Paratene, star of Whale Rider), as a Maori psychiatric patient who claims to be the second son of God, as he tries to prevent the closure of a boarding house for the mentally ill and homeless.
