A nice time lapse of the city covering major parts of it (the machines, docks, cathedral etc). Could be useful if we decide to do any time lapses?
Blue is The Warmest Colour and Fish Tank
Recently I watched two films, both about teenage girls trapped in their life and identity.
Blue is the Warmest Colour (the 2013 Palme d'Or winner) is about a young girl lost in her own sexuallity and the expectaions society places upon her because of it. Whereas Fish Tank is about a dissillusioned british teenager, absent of friends or an attentive and loving mother, finding comfort in her mothers new boyfriend.
Blue is the Warmest Colour has arguably some of the best and most subtle cinematography I have ever seen, it's also, in my opinion, the best film of 2013 by far, causing me to urge as many people as I can to watch it.
Fish Tank is yet another film with beautiful cinematography, and from what I can tell is influenced by mumblecore, it manages to engage the audience and make you want to almost stand still in the moment as the characters evolve and progress.
Both films I would highly recommend.

Beyond Clueless, coming to The Cube
The preview screening of Beyond Clueless I came to see, became a huge sucess at The Cube, Bristol, due to the tickets been sold out and public interest. If you couldn't able to go to the screening or if you love teen films e.g. Mean Girls, 13 Going on 30 and American Pie, I would recommend you and everyone to watch this brillant essay film about analysis of teen film genre.
I am currently writing about my experience at the preview + Q&A with first-time director Charlie Lyne, and my review of the film as well.
If you are interested, the film would be on the general release on 23rd January, and here is the chance to book tickets as soon as possible. It costs £5 for adults and £4 for students/concessions on Monday 26th January. Furthermore, the campaign made a special offer on Tuesday 27th January, which all of the tickets cost £3 each.
