Went to the National Media Museum in Bradford this afternoon - a favourite haunt. I'm getting to go there almost in the way I used to go to Nottingham Broadway Media Centre, as a place to hang out.
I went to the 4pm showing of 'West is West', the long-awaited follow up to 'East is East', the first film to speak for young Bradford Asians in the late 1990's. Many attended from the Asian communities, and it's clear they get a real buzz and glow from seeing their lives and world portrayed on the screen. We saw this film at a preview on the afternoon of my 60th birthday party in January.
Coincidentally, a DVD of photos from that party arrived today: John Barker sent me it. It's great, and really brings back the atmosphere of that day Heather worked so hard to organise.
