DINARD FILM FESTIVAL

We were proud to have taken part in the 23rd Festival du Film Britannique de Dinard, in Bretagne, France, where Island Pictures’ film The Scapegoat played to packed houses.

Island Pictures’ producer Sarah Beardsall, and writer/director of The Scapegoat, Charles Sturridge, were in glorious Q&A attendance. No wonder the good folk of Dinard queued in the rain.

There was even a scuffle for tickets!  Qu’est-ce qu’on va faire?
