Spank's LFF Diaries Volume Four: 2010-2014

BySpank The Monkey

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
AN ADVENTURE TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING! (Although to be fair, I didn’t do anything for five of them.) The years 2010-2014 were turbulent ones for the London Film Festival. Its Artistic Director Sandra Hebron stepped down, and took her boots with her. Clare Stewart took over, and taught us all how to Love, Laugh and Chunder. Unluckily for Clare, she joined the festival at a time of massive Government cutbacks, meaning that one of the first things she had to do was reduce it from 16 days long to 12. Still, look on the bright side: if it wasn’t for those cuts, this book would be even longer than it is now. Because the LFF ran for a total of 68 days between 2010 and 2014, and Spank The Monkey was there for the vast majority of them. He saw nearly 200 feature films, shorts programmes and live talk events while he was there, and documented them all day by day on his website. Many years later, long after everyone’s forgotten that there was once a film called The Poor Stockinger, The Luddite Cropper And The Deluded Followers Of Joanna Southcott (or TPSTLCATDFOJS for short), you can finally read all those reviews in this book. Be there, or be deluded. Download a 12 page preview at https://spank-the-monkey.typepad.com/book_previews/LFF4%20preview.pdf
