The Scapegoat at LUFF
THE SCAPEGOAT AT LUFF
18.6.2012
Island Pictures’ film THE SCAPEGOAT will be screened to international buyers at London UK Film Focus (LUFF) 2012.
Now in its ninth year, LUFF is a four-day export event providing a platform to celebrate and promote British films and talent to the international market.
As this is a trade event only, we ask members of the public keen to see the film for their continued patience.
More information: http://filmlondon.org.uk/luff
From the Film London website:
The only export market event which uniquely supports new UK films and UK film companies, LUFF sees Film London working in partnership with the BFI and forms a key ongoing element of the UK’s International Strategy, promoting the best of British film and talent outside of the UK. Amanda Nevill, CEO of the BFI, said: “LUFF provides a fruitful environment for international buyers and UK Sales agents to meet, see and discuss bright new British films, and forge deals that will get those films in front of international audiences. It puts a spotlight on London too, as one of the great film business centres of the world.”
LUFF 2012’s primary funders are Film London and the BFI, with support from Mayor of London, Film Export UK and UK Trade & Investment.
DU MAURIER FESTIVAL

DU MAURIER FESTIVAL
Island Pictures were delighted to take Daphne du Maurier’s THE SCAPEGOAT to the author’s home turf of Fowey, Cornwall this week.
The packed house of Daphne-devotees responded wonderfully to this unique opportunity to view the international cinema version of the film in the UK.
Several members of the du Maurier family were in attendance, and her son, Kits Browning, who worked with Island Pictures on behalf of the du Maurier Estate to bring this book to the screen, viewed the film for the first time, declaring himself “genuinely overwhelmed.”
Two of the film’s stars, Alice Orr-Ewing (Frances) and Phoebe Nichols (Charlotte) joined the Q&A panel after the screening, alongside the film’s writer/director Charles Sturridge and producer Sarah Beardsall.
Amongst the many interesting gems to be revealed in the discussion was that Cary Grant agreed to play the main roles in the first film, but Daphne du Maurier insisted on Alec Guinness. There was no such argument over the 2012 version: Matthew Rhys was the man for us. Or do we mean the men for us?
Q&A Panel chaired by Tim Hubbard at the du Maurier Festival 2012

RICHARD CARPENTER
We are saddened to learn of the death, aged 78, of Richard Carpenter.
Richard was the writer of the hit 1970s series CATWEASEL and, of course, ROBIN OF SHERWOOD.
He was also the man who gave Anthony Horowitz his first job in television. Television viewers have much to thank him for.
