Starburst Magazine|July 2017

After the success of last year's STARBURST International Film Festival (SIFF), all systems are go to organise an equally fun-packed weekend for this year. Our Festival Director will be keeping you updated with developments over the coming months, but let's find out what we have to offer so far...

The Siff Warrior

I remember buying STARBURST Magazine as a kid, so to now be the Festival Director of SIFF 2017 is rather splendid indeed. It’s a great team of people all throwing in their (very welcome) input to achieve what is going to be a fab weekend of film, talks, workshops, and Q & As.

There will be several exclusive screenings over the weekend, and one of the first we have announced is the UK Theatrical Premiere of Pandorica director Tom Paton’s new film Redwood. The screening will be accompanied by a Q&A from Tom and lead actor Mike Beckingham and without giving too much away, the film involves vampires. And Nicholas Brendon. You know. Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He just can’t get away from those nasty bloodsuckers, can he?

Memoirs Of The Dead

It’s over 40 years since George A. Romero’s seminal zombie sequel DAWN OF THE DEAD first terrorised the planet, forever changing our demeanour when visiting the local shopping mall. On the eve of its latest disinterment - this time in 4K - we spoke to two actors who lived to tell the tale…

INDEPENDENTS DAY - FC RABBATH

Born in Alexandra, Egypt in October 1986, director/writer FRED ‘FC’ RABBATH has been an inventor, author, comedian, journalist, and all around entrepreneur. He’s also hugely well-travelled thanks to his father’s work, which required Fred to live in several countries before he was even 16. Tirelessly prolific, he has written and directed a string of acclaimed short films and a number of features including Scarlet’s Witch (2014), The Hum (2015), The Movie Extra (2015), and especially A Brilliant Monster (2018), which we described as ‘quirky and highly watchable… a psychological horror/thriller that examines the nature of creativity and the obsessions which drive the creative mind’ He’s back later this year with THE WAITING, a highly unusual and unpredictable ghost story that turns slowly into an unusual romantic fable. We spoke to Fred about his background and his approach to his work in the independent movie sector.

HEART and SOUL

Known for re-shaping the landscape of movies as we know it (not just animated ones), Pixar has respectfully raised the bar with delightful, heartfelt aplomb. From the intense opening segment of Up where no matter how lacking in emotion you think you are, tears will still come running, to the joyous Randy Newman-scored Toy Story moments, to the roaring, superhero family dynamics in The Incredibles, there’s an endless array of remarkable Pixar memories. Even in just these highlighted animated spectacles alone, Pixar has imprinted many sequences into our brains that we will never, ever forget. Everyone has a favourite Pixar character, scene, quote, song, and catchphrase that still evokes something nostalgically magical in them. So, what’s yours?
