Compilation by Val Ellis. BIAFF 2010 selection three is rather different. It is available as a double set of DVDs only. As a number of clubs have asked for programmes with only short films in and many of our top winners are long this combination allows different programmes to suit all needs.
Reviews by Michael Gough.

DISC A - 16:9 format

SIDEWINDER
Phil Martin (Berkshire)

Phil describes the category as being “for children” …. but we can all remember the fantasy of childhood role playing. However it is not often that our dreams come true in such a dramatic way.

IN THE GRIP OF KHAT Still from 'In the Grip of Khat'.

Jean-Pierre Hue (France)

This excellent documentary reveals the background to a little known problem. The growth of stimulant addiction derived from chewing Khat leaves in Yemen has devastating effects on the wider community. Jean-Pierre’s understanding is achieved through astoundingly impressive access to the people he portrays.

SHOOTING ON A SHOESTRING
Michael Slowe (London)

Michael was invited to make a fly on the wall documentary of a commercial film being shot in London. This is a fascinating glimpse at what being in the film industry really means.

RAINBOW ANGEL
Anna Kasten (Germany)

A brilliant example of how to get the best from a young child actor in a particularly difficult scenario. The boy narrates how his brother’s skin is covered with bruises, without understanding the bullying which is the cause. The ending is emotionally moving yet sensitively only reflected in the boys passive face. (with subtitles)
