From today you can catch everyone on the Flipside – the Flipside Film Festival in Plymouth, that is… which kicks of tonight at 6pm at PCAD, and runs until May 31.
Our compadres over on D+CFilm have been getting their outtakes in a twist about this film festival which mixes making and viewing films with the dreaded act of thinking.
The whole set up includes films in a flatpack – that’s shed to you – in the middle of the city; films which celebrate non-mainstream views; those made using endangered media and more – including a start performance from Don Letts.
Check out D+CFilm and its multitude of stories and comment or the Flipside site for more.

Totnes Young People’s Theatre will present a double feature of murder, mystery and a gang of rampaging pirates on Friday (May 23), which apparently isn’t the usual sort of behaviour for a Friday evening in the South Hams town.
The young actors (aged between 11 and 14) of the Totnes Young People’s Theatre will present Memory of Water, a love story which brings together an inventor, the daughter of a local lord and a gang of 17th century Barbary pirates, who used to steal children from South Hams villages and sell them into slavery.
And the Exquisite Corpse, a melodramatic murder mystery set against the backdrop of the Victorian voting scandals of Totnes. When a troupe of travelling Players arrive to perform at the Seven Stars Hotel, an actress is murdered, the baker’s wife is accused and a Sweeney Todd-style serial killer stalks the town.
TYPT associate director Martin O’Brien said the Youth Theatre had been working with professional theatre producers to explore local history through drama as part of the second Tales From The Keep Heritage Lottery Fund arts project in the town.
He told the PRSD: “TYPT offers a great opportunity for young people to work with established theatre professionals and to devise new work with emerging artists like myself,†he said.
“This is going to be a great double bill and we want to show off our skills and offer more local young people the chance to get involved with the company.â€
• Memory of Water and The Exquisite Corpse are at Studio 33, Dartington College of Arts, at 7.30pm on May 23. Entrance is £1.50 for children / concessions and £3.50 for adults.

While you’re waiting for your the next episode of Monk, or whatever it is that’s your viewing pleasure on Thursday afternoon, take a gander at the Devon County Council annual meeting, which will be broadcast live on the internet on Thursday May 22, at 2.15pm.
But don’t despair if you didn’t catch it live, you can pick up the recorded show when you fancy, either at home – or even at a library. (It’s all a bit like The Apprentice, really.) Explore Devon County Council’s interactivity.
