'A Day with Mark and an Evening with Jason'
Tells the story of the first and original Goa Trance Club in the U.K. before the arrival of Danny Rampling or Paul Oakenfold on the scene. Using exclusive footage shot at Panjaea's Floating Focal Point between September 1992 and January 1993 the film tells the story of the original concept behind Britain's first ever exclusively Trance nightclub in the words of those who were actually there. From these small beginnings this sophisticated dance sound has grown into the international global phenomenon that it is today: see the original club where Flying Rhino's Dominic Lamb and the Return to the Source djs hung out with the likes of Raja Ram and cut their teeth with their first ever public performance dj sets.
This film is due for screening at the 2008 Portobello Film Festival in London.

'Voices of Albion'
Voices of Albion
Preview extracts from Rupert Ferguson's film 'Voices of Albion: Levellers, Luddites, Diggers and Dongas in Traditional Myth and Contemporary Folklore', due to be screened at this year's Portobello Film Festival in London. The film explores the semi-mythical origins of the Digger and Leveller Movements of the 17th cent. by tracing the Pre-Norman Conquest political system that they sought to restore back to the primitive Celtic-Druidic democracy in which it was ultimately rooted. The film also shows the direct descent of many '60s, '70s, '80s and near contemporary radical groups, such as Spiral Tribe, the Donga Movement, the Kingston Green Collective and the Luton based Exodus Collective back, through the same English Civil War predecessors, to this ultimate primordial Pre-Roman source.
The film is being previewed at this year's Kingston Green Fair at Kingston in Surrey's Canbury Gardens in May.
As the weeks pass this playlist will be updated with short clips from 'A Hard Act to Swallow: Criminal Injustice A Retrospect (1994-2007)' the sequel to 'Voices of Albion'.

The Kingston Zodiac
First full YouTube broadcast of Mary Caine and Jonathan Barnett's 2005 film 'The Kingston Zodiac'. Originally shown at the 2005 Portobello Film Festival, the film examines the mystery surrounding Surrey's very own equivalent of the Glastonbury Giants: An ancient prehistoric Star Temple, attributed by its discoverer to the Sumerians, originally discovered by the artist and sculptress Katherine Maltwood. Kingston's own inter-connected equivalent to the Glastonbury Zodiac, fifteen miles in diameter and considerably larger than its Somersetshire counterpart, straddles the Thames between Egham and Barnes and stretches as far south as Carshalton, Banstead and Epsom near the old Elizabethan Royal Palace of Nonsuch. Our twelve stage sign by sign journey across the Zodiac is full of references to ancient myth and folklore which blends history and mythology in a unique mix of fact and fiction reminiscent of the old Grail Cycles of the High Middle Ages.
