(Not included are animation, experimental and documentary films.) Each listing includes contact information for the film’s producer, international sales agent and UK distributor, where available. The listings cover more than 130 feature films and around 307 shorts. We apologise if any eligible films have not made it into the Guide. The films and credits in the Guide are those submitted by producers, sales agents and distributors, and credits are not contractual. The Film UK Guide to British Film is made available to all Industry delegates at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2009. A pdf version of the Guide can be downloaded from the Film UK website at www.filmuk.org.uk. The Film Festival Videotheque stocks video copies of as many of the films in the Film UK Guide as we are able to obtain. The Videotheque is open daily during the Festival. We are happy to pass on enquiries about films to the appropriate contact. denotes that a film is showing in the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2009 programme. 3 Welcome to the 2009 Film UK Guide to British Film This is the fifteenth edition of the Guide to British Film, the Edinburgh International Film Festival’s annual directory of fiction features and shorts completed in the UK during the previous year. Based on extensive research of British film production, the Guide is an essential handbook for film professionals and anyone interested in filmmaking in the UK. Editions of the Guide for each year from 2001 can be downloaded from the EIFF website at www.edfilmfest.org.uk/industry/british-film-guide. EIFF supports and promotes British filmmaking throughout the Festival, showcasing new British films in the Festival programme and presenting panels and discussions related to British cinema for both the public and the industry, as well as offering industry professionals the opportunity to catch up with British films from this year’s Guide in the Videotheque, which will be fully digital for the first time in 2009. Last year the Guide covered ten months instead of the usual twelve because of the Festival’s move from August to June. The shorter period meant that overall numbers were lower, but the relative proportions of features and shorts were stable. This year, however, features are down (135) and shorts (307) have held steady. This annual snapshot of the current state of the film industry in the UK suggests that production at feature level has been affected by the credit crunch along with other industries, while resourceful filmmakers have continued to find ways to fund short films, with a real increase in the quality of short films being produced. Their budgets are higher, whether financed privately or through schemes, and many talented actors and production companies have been involved. There is evidence that some feature production has been delayed, so 2010 could be a bumper year for features. The 63rd Edinburgh International Film Festival enters its second year in its new position in the global film festival calendar, with the move widely regarded as a success. With a commitment to technology in the digital age and to making connections between filmmakers and the business of film, and between culture and commerce, innovation and industry, the Film Festival is a networking centre for the film community. The longest continuously running film festival in the world and now the only show in town in Edinburgh in June, the Festival is firmly established as a place to discover new talent, both international and British. We are grateful to the British Council for their continuing co-operation with us in compiling the Guide. Mary Davies Head of Industry Ginnie Atkinson Managing Director, EIFF 4 Feature Films 1234 Bespectacled cardigan-wearer Stevie (guitar, vocals) endures a job he despises and can’t get a girlfriend, but at least he has music. With his mate Neil (drums), he’s been kicking about in bands for a while, but it is not until the pair team up with Billy Dixon (guitar), a more experienced hand with drive and ambition, and Billy’s cute pal Emily (bass) that the possibility they might be on to something good suggests itself. With a demo to tout, Stevie beats a welltrodden path to record company doors, but finds he has to manage the tensions developing within the band while keeping his own aspirations in check.

With his life and career now at rock bottom, the only source of light in his world comes from his teenage daughter, more precious than ever after receiving a heart transplant. In the meantime, rich and successful heart surgeon Benjamin Cisco is viewing a large exclusive house up for sale. Showing him around the property is Richard Short — young, cocky — at first sight a fairly typical estate agent. That is, until he strays into questioning the ethics of Benjamin’s line of work — the act of making life and death choices between patients. He soon apologises for the imposition — but Richard is not who he says he is. It doesn’t take long for the mask to slip and, before he knows what’s happening, Benjamin finds himself tied to a chair in the cellar, confronted by a gun and the most difficult choice he will ever have to make in his life. Frank, meanwhile, hides a secret shared with Benjamin — a life and death decision he made for his daughter — and one for which Richard, at any price, is determined to exact his own special style of revenge.

The chillingly imposed quarantine means single mother Beth is forced to spend more time with Kieran, a one night stand she drunkenly picked up the night before. As the nightmare situation escalates, and no explanation over what’s happening is forthcoming from the authorities, Beth becomes increasingly concerned over her estranged daughter Jodie who has just arrived to spend the Christmas holiday. They’ve fought as usual and Jodie has stormed out and gone missing. Then Lance Corporal Akede is found injured in Beth’s garden. He knows the government Top Secret reason why her neighbourhood is under such sinister surveillance. It has to do with a container ship that shed its load on a nearby beach. Something horrific lurked inside one storage unit and is now on the savage loose. More frightened for her daughter’s safety than ever, Beth mounts increasingly desperate attempts to rescue Jodie from the unknown danger within. Director: Lawrence Gough 2008.

Yet here they are on an all expenses paid company trip to the middle of nowhere deep in the English countryside, not their idea of a jolly weekend away. But maybe their luck has arrived in the form of the three Tanner sisters living and working alone on Graves Hill Farm close to a small village with a pub! The sisters are friendly, open and warm, but all is not as it seems and the guys begin to wish they’d paid more attention on the assault course. The sisters are the daughters of convicted witch Elizabeth Tanner from the year 1709. Abused by their farmer father, the sisters murder him and hide his body on a cross in the field as a crow scarer. With his dying words the father curses his daughters to remain on the farm for eternity. The sisters live in limbo on the farm neither living nor dead, until the year 2009 when the chance to free themselves from a living hell is realised in the form of four guys lost in the depths of the English countryside.
