Pint-sized film festival

We’re right getting into this View From Here malarky. So we’re all set for representatives of the PRSD to head down to Newton Abbot tonight for the Half Hour Pint, a mini little film festival in some of the more open-minded establishments in the town. It’s a proto-type event for the whole nation. Go along,

Clearwater revival

We all want to know more about John Clearwater – it’s the nature of the kind of notoriety the guy has. But is there really any more to know? Find out tonight at Gallery Terracina, on Exeter Quay, when director Clive Austin will talk about his film The Gaps Between. The event kicks off at

Run, fatboy, run

Posted by Cptn

To take part in the Great English Riviera Santa Run, apparently, you have to sign a sanity clause, but as we all know, there ain’t no Sanity Claus (good ole Marx, with all the best lines). It takes place on December 9, costs £10 or £9 – depending on girth and all the

Half Hour Pint

How about this for an innovative idea – local films in your local. Those kooks who have been organising the View From Here: a celebration of moving image in South Devon are determined that the region’s film talent is appreciated. So, with the help from some hostelries, they’ve set up the Half Hour Pint, a

Purse strings

Posted by Cptn

Oh, how we could fall into those gender stereotype-type gags, but we won’t because this is the PRSD. Exeter University is looking for unmarried heterosexual couples to take a survey on how they spend their money, what it’s like living together and other ‘relationship stuff’ for a study into money, relationships and the

In the picture #7

This week Eddie Dyke has been in touch to take the investigations into the Great Devon Consol a little further.

During it’s hey day, the mine owners built a narrow gauge railway to transport the dressed copper ore to Morwellham to be loaded onto barges and shipped to Plymouth where it would be distributed world wide.

‘It’s

Hullo!

The PRSD got themselves invited to the celebrity wedding of the season this weekend, but unlike those salacious magazines, we won’t be spilling the salt. Suffice it to say, there was a great vibe and great music from a banjo man (it was a fast crowd) and the one and only time Le Chat Noir

Don’t get grizzly

Posted by Cptn

Oh, the life of a natural history filmmaker – weeks in the wilderness with only bears for company. And all because you want to find out what they do in the woods. And for those of you who don’t know, there’s a chance to see Peter Cayliss’ film (along with some others

Cold Comfort

Posted by Cptn

The announcement that fuel prices are set to rise by 10 per cent come the new year is chilling news to the one in five older people in the South West who live in one room to keep warm and save money in winter.

The figures were released by Help the Aged as it
