Great news,

When I have more info about the Rome festival, I'll let you know.

Personally, I'm still a bit in shock about it since when we started this I couldn't imagine it getting into the film festivals and sitting on a billing of 'New British Cinema' with Nick Broomfield.

I'm a bit nervous about the attention and having to do question and answer sessions but it's a good chance to get more of a debate going about Mumia's case and the upcoming decision in the third circuit.

Check in with the myspace page to keep up to date with the screenings as well.

Tickets go on sale to non-BFI members on the 29th of September. We're hoping for a full house so we'll hope to see you there.
