Remember 'Reggae in the Ruff' we got to see the trailer for this earlier this year, American film maker Don Mconnel is due to finnish filming the documentary in Jamaica very shortly.
Joe Higgs documentary, i've probably mentioned this one before, this is currently in production and i hope to hear more about this later in the year.
Remember Ondi Timoners documentary, The Mother of Invention: Reggae Music, we've heard nothing about this since we heard that it was in production, i think Palm pictures have teamed up with her for this one and i think it will be a big film, and i'm sure we will hear something about it soon.
Rootstime 2 - Can't wait for this one, i hear they will be filming this sometime this year.
Shottas 2 - Also hear that Kymani is working on a sequel to Shottas.........
The 2nd Reggae Film Festival is getting into gear for next years event in February, there has been lots of interest in the event since it began and next years event will be special, i can't mention too much right now but it will be well worth attending if you can make it, we have lots of special guests invited along with lots of great films old and new. One of the aims of the festival was to revive some of the older films and bring them back to life so to speak, well we are doing just that next time round and have found a few oldies which most people will never have heard about before, so watch out for this next February.
More good news, those of you who can't attend the event will be able to watch the films on TV, several of the festival films will be available on Satelite Tv throughout Europe, the info will be put up on the festival website nearer the time.
