New Al Lee Film Premiere At Kendal

The world's biggest mountain film festival kicks off in Kendal tomorrow, Friday 9 November, but while much of the publicity has centred on the big screen premiere of The Beckoning Silence, we reckon - given that it's already screened on Channel 4 - a more interesting appointment might be with the premiere of Alastair Lee's new film, PSYCHE.

Lee's already a multiple Kendal award winner and Psyche could be on the same track. From what we can gather, it's a combination of a number of short films featuring the likes of Dave Birkett, Steve McClure, Andy Kirkpatrick, and Ian Parnell all of whom will be on hand at the Kendal premiere.

As well as that, turn up for the performance and you'll also get a free Eyes Up book of Lee's excellent landscape photography and a poster, not that he'll need to resort to bribery if past form's anything to go by...

There are clips on Alastair's web site, or check out our recent Friday Matinee for some excellent streaming video to whet your appetite.

The premiere of PSYCHE takes place as part of the Kendal Mountain Film Festival and is at 10 am on Saturday 17 November.

You can buy tickets online direct from Alastair's own web site at www.posingproductions.com or from the main Kendal festival web site at www.mountainfilm.co.uk where you can find more about the rest of the programme and the accompanying mountain literature and arts festivals.
