Canaries is a British feature getting a Horror Channel FrightFest screening this weekend. We've been taking a look...
Think of big screen science fiction, and it’s likely to bring to mind glossy images of alien spacecrafts obliterating the White House, monsters running amuck in New York or Tokyo, or a post-apocalyptic Los Angelean wasteland. It’s perhaps unsurprising that these are the moments which linger in our collective consciousness; on screen at least, such cataclysmic events are usually clustered around the world’s big cities, with filmmakers giving little thought to how they might play out elsewhere.
There have been exceptions of course, such as classics like Village Of The Damned (1960) and The Stepford Wives (1975) and, in more recent years, UK filmmakers have also been looking to redress the balance. Marc Price set his 2008 zombie movie Colin on a suburban British estate, for example, while Stephen Fingleton...

The Bradford International Film Festival is typically an underground-friendly fest. This year appears to be no exception with two very special experimental film retrospectives, as well as a few modern underground-type flicks.
The 19th annual Biff will roll on April 11-21 at several locations around Bradford and Leeds in England, including the National Media Museum, Hebden Bridge Picture House, Hyde Park Picture House and other venues.
Biff is hosting a tribute to Stan Brakhage this year by screening the prolific filmmaker’s magnum opus, Dog Star Man, as well as a selection of his short films, from 1963′s legendary Mothlight to 1994′s Black Ice. There’s also going to be an epic-sized tribute/retrospective of experimental films from Austria, a country with a proud avant-garde filmmaking tradition that’s typically overlooked.
From Austria, Biff is, of course, screening two works from one of the experimental film world’s biggest masters,...

Film maker Marc Price, director of the £45 zombie film Colin, has finished work on his second feature film Magpie – previously known as The Coffin – which was financed by Emmerdale actor Dominic Brunt (who himself made his film debut with a zombie film, the well-received Before Dawn), and tells thetragic story of a negligent young father who returns home for his 9-year-old, shark-obsessed son’s funeral. An unwelcome guest, he steals the coffin and finds himself on the road with the child’s mother and two friends.
Magpie was shot on location in London, Cornwall and Price’s native Swansea. Without a script, Price instead opted to workshop scenes with the actors based on a carefully designed structure. What follows is a journey with no destination, just a desperate desire not to return. Very different from Colin, Magpie is a dark relationship drama with significantly higher production value.

Colin's Marc Price moves on with The Coffin.
The staff at HugAZombie took a much-deserved break over the holidays, which is why we now present to you this week old story.
Welsh director Marc Price, who impressed at Cannes in 2009 with his debut feature Colin, which followed a man as he becomes a zombie and was made for $75 and a bag of crisps, is moving on to his next feature, titled The Coffin.
And what is The Coffin about? Well, it's about "an absent father who gatecrashes his young son's funeral, steals the coffin, and embarks on a momentous road trip with his ex-partner and two friends." Not exactly zombie fare, but still dealing with death.
Will Price strike gold twice? Remains to be seen, but we're wishing him and Colin actor Alastair Kirton nothing but good luck!
