all complete with live post-screening discussions.

All right, that's very good, Clare.

So that's why we also read a lot of script, and we buy a lot of film on the script stage.

Um, but for instance, for Clio Barnard, that's very interesting because the, the, the first film I, uh, uh, bought from Clio was The Selfish Giant, so which was in Directors' Fortnight long time ago, and then which came here at Dinard and won the Golden Hitchcock, the Golden Hitchcock.

Oh, great.

And, uh, this one, actually, I saw it.

Another film that I'm a big fan of is called I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning.

It's from Clio Barnard.

It's a social drama about five childhood frie- childhood friends from Birmingham.

Um, another film in competition takes us to the Cornish coast.
