Finally, after fifty years, I have launched my film diaries as a dvd. I started a film diary in 1968 when I acquired a standard 8mm camera, and laid it down in 1987 having compiled some 6 or 7 hours of film edited down to 5½ hours. The material lay in a cupboard dreaming . . . until in 2015 I began to get it digitized, then re-edited it and added voice-over and music. Three years later I had a 3¼ hour diary film with a title: LIGHT YEARS – THE FILM DIARIES OF TIM CAWKWELL 1968 TO 1987. By March I had this in dvd format and by April it was all cased and shrink-wrapped. There is even a 20-page booklet to go with it. And so, on 9 May, at the Poetry Café in London, I was able to launch the dvd to an invited audience. It is now available online from Lux (go to: http://bit.ly/LIGHTyrs) and you can see a taster on Vimeo (http://bit.ly/LYtrailerVimeo) or on YouTube (http://bit.ly/LYtrailerYT).

Here are some images from it:

The film is divided into three main parts and 25 individual short films. Each can be watched on its own or as part of a whole, a visual self-examination over 21 years.

As I say, available from LUX: http://bit.ly/LIGHTyrs.

Filmgoer's guide to God, Tim Cawkwell, Troubador Press

My book ‘The New Filmgoer’s Guide to God’ is being published by Troubador Press at the end of May 2014. It’ll be available both as a paperback (£12.99) and an e-book (half that price). This book started life as a paperback in 2004, titled ‘The Filmgoer’s Guide to God’. I liked it then, but as each year passed, even as I liked it, I kept thinking of new things to say and different ways of saying what I did say.This brings us to ‘The New Filmgoer’s Guide to God’. This blog is a reflection on the joys and tribulations of self-publishing, and what is involved, i.e. the knowns known and unknown. I plan to put something here each week. Image
