Dear All I'm pleased to announce that those of you who missed the Cinema for the Deaf event in June have another opportuntiy for a taster - well, a small but pungent snack, at least.
The Filmhouse are currently running a PUNK season. This Sunday 6th and Monday 7th October they will screen Julien Temple's masterful and stirring THE FILTH & THE FURY. To accompany this, they will be screening a unique version of the Pistol's anthem GOD SAVE THE QUEEN which myself and Deaf film maker Sam Dore reworked in British Sign Language - specially for the Golden Jubilee! How nice. I am also glad to make you aware of the fact that Sunday 6th is the start of Sign Language Awareness Week (previously known as Deaf Awareness Week). G Go along, be aware, learn a little - the limits of your language are, after all, the limits of your world.

Temple was there at the outset and stayed to document proceedings, intercutting contemporary interviews with footage shot at the time, and managing to give the film the authentic feel of 70�s Britain. Lydon�s wit still shines and works well as an antidote to the McLaren version of events, and the recollections of the other surviving band members are frank, funny, compassionate and damning. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------- a m b i t : networking media arts in scotland post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] info: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and write "info ambit" in the message body -------------------------------------------------
