In the light of the recent flotilla incident this performance tackles social, cultural and political issues within both the Muslim and mainstream communities, offering visitors to the event the chance to be part of a unique drama that explores brotherhood, conflict, loss of hope and finally understanding and redemption from an Islamic perspective.

MACE is asking people to donate their old cine films, 8mm film etc, all those forgotten  gems that may well be gathering dust in an attic or been forgotten about years ago. The films can be of anything ranging from a family trip to the seaside through to significant historic events. MACE will then archive and produce DVD to be used by schools and communities as a learning tool.

The project promises to be great fun and we for one can’t wait to see some of those golden greats that people have tucked away!

“Selling like hot cakes! – This week the Nottingham Evening Post reported that the opening night gala of ScreenLit Festival of Film, TV and Writing has become the fastest sell-out in Broadway Cinema’s history. The special event will kick off the EM Media-supported festival in style, when writer/director Chris Morris and co-writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong present Morris’s debut feature, the controversial Four Lions.”

Nice one eh? Great to hear that ScreenLit has started off with such a bang!

• British comedy and Nordic noir
• Top screenwriters in attendance
• Readings and book signings by renowned authors

Screenlit is promising to be a fanatstic festival so if your a budding script writer then now’s the chance to shine, and many thanks to Broadway for the opportunity to work on the festival website – were completely stoked!

Both a dear friend and also a dedicated volunteer and charity supporter for well over 40+ years, helping charities, voluntary and educational projects with his memories and experiences of the war and also growing up in Radford Nottingham.

Ron is a 77 year old Radford lad with energy and enthusiasm in abundance that we could all learn from, his new WordPress blog has been put together to make himself and his work more accessible, that’s right Ron is completely up to speed with Web 2.0, and also to enable people to maybe look for, or find out about local people and places from both past and present, Ron has already helped a number of people trace relatives from literally the world over.

Ron also heads up a personal crusade to remember, and honour soldiers that hold the Victoria Cross medal,the highest military award for valour presented in the UK, for acts of extreme bravery and heroism, that have sadly been forgotten and often pass without the recognition they really do truly deserve, Ron works thanklessly to raise funds, research and organise the renovation and reinstatement of new headstones and memorials with full military honours for those unsung heroes.

Here’s to much more of Ron’s amazing work, drop by and take a look at his new blog and maybe we should all take a leaf out of his well thumbed book.

Lindsay found one of the magazines we’ve created with young people in Nottingham, when she googled ‘young people’s magazines’ recently. She liked what she saw and got in touch with us to ask for a copy of the magazine – ‘as an example of what can be achieved’ in Lindsay’s words – and to inspire the young people she works with.

Lindsay is planning to run a similar project with young people and it’s great to think that young people from Nottingham will be inspiring other young people from North Wales to create their own magazine!

In total we produced three magazines with young people at risk of social exclusion, in partnership with a local neighbourhood charity, the Partnership Council, and the local youth inclusion team for Radford, Nottingham.

Lindsay has promised to keep us up to date with her project so watch this space for more!

Details are very ‘Top Secret’ at present so we can’t really reveal very much, but from the sneak peek that we’ve had into what’s to come ‘End Game Interactive’ is set for big things – more as we get it!

They have been organising a series of ‘Family Learning Projects’ and needed some pretty speedy promotional material to spread the word, time was against them and something needed to happen, we gave them a helping hand with a simple yet vibrant A6 postcard to help draw in the crowds.
