KINOKARNO
FILM FESTIVAL 2005
REVERSING THE POLARITY played at
the KinoKarno Film Festival in Greenwich, London on 4th November and was
warmly received. Below is a review from the event:
A really funny spoof documentary
about a cancelled TV sci fi show called TIMEQUAKE which gathers together
the cast and crew to reminisce for the DVD release. The show TIMEQUAKE
features dodgy eighties fashions and special effects. What really makes
this film work is the fact that the old clips of TIMEQUAKE were actually
filmed about 15 years ago so the actors do look a hell of a lot younger.
Spoof documentaries are difficult to pull off, but this one is spot on.
October 9th 2005

J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5, The Amazing Spider-Man).
Blum is the winner of last year's Aurealis Award for Best Australian SF
Novel for Fallen Gods; Booth is a British filmmaker and comedy writer.
A 120,000 word 327-page trade paperback, the book is available for $14.95.
The novel will be released in the
last week of March in the US. For the UK and Australia, initially the books
will only be available on import through specialty shops or the website,
but full overseas distribution plans are currently being settled.
The surrealist spy series The
Prisoner was the tale of a secret agent who resigns his job and is
abducted by unknown parties who want the information in his head. He finds
himself in a charming seaside village which is really an escape-proof Orwellian
prison, and must fight to keep his mind intact in the face of his captors'
twisted social and psychological mind-games. The novels are set just before
the series' legendarily enigmatic final episodes. "The Prisoner's Dilemma"
re-launches the series with a complex and paranoid tale of murder in the
Village, the uses of terrorism, and the shaping of the Information Age.
