Raindance line-up announced

Rock 'n' roll plays a major part at this year's festival.

Sep  8 2006

The line-up for this year's Raindance Film Festival has been announced, with the critically acclaimed 'Brothers of the Head' kicking the whole thing off on September 27.

A mock rock doc about a pair of conjoined twins who find fame as a freakish rock 'n' roll act, the film marks the feature directing debut of Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe and has already won the best British film award at Edinburgh.

Other films worth a look over the course of the 12 day festival include 'Wristcutters: A Love Story', 'Little Red Flowers' and 'Johnny Was' a gangster flick that predictably stars Vinnie Jones, and rather less predictably co-stars Lennox Lewis, Samantha Mumba, Roger Daltrey and John Fashanu.

As usual with Raindance, there's a strong musical strain to the festival, with 'Neil Young: Heart of Gold' and 'Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man' both screening, while Marky Ramone will attend a very special presentation of concert film 'Too Tough to Die: A Tribute to Johnny Ramone'.

There will also be a tribute to Stanley Kubrick, featuring 'A Clockwork Orange', '2001: A Space Odyssey' and the acclaimed documentary 'Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures'.

The whole shebang then climaxes with former Raindance film course student Ed Blum's 'Scenes of a Sexual Nature', which stars Ewan McGregor, Catherine Tate and Sophie Okonedo.
