Lots going on on the film front! Tomorrow the site for the Leeds Film Festival goes live (Ms. Plants has bought me a pass!! - though it might be to get me out of the house and give her some peace..), so I'll be scanning the site constantly for a whiff of the film list.

So all power to her. I can't wait to see the full thing.
Oh, and Sita Sings the Blues can now be viewed in it's entirety.
