New film productions to celebrate 400 years of Shakespeare; The Hungry named Film London’s first UK-India co-production.
Film London has named Sir Kenneth Branagh as its patron for Shakespeare on Screen, a year-long programme that will form part of the celebrations marking the 400 years since the death of the revered playwright.
As well as supporting Film London’s work, Branagh is also set to participate in next year’s activity, with details set to be revealed next year.
Shakespeare on Screen will include a series of new productions celebrating the Bard’s legacy. These will include a feature film, two shorts from all-female filmmaking teams, three artists’ animations and a BBC Arena documentary examining Shakespeare’s screen legacy.
Some of these productions will be screened nationally as well as forming part of the British Council’s Shakespeare Lives programme, which will see a range of content toured internationally in partnership with the BFI.

Parallel Worlds are very much in fashion at the moment.
There are dramas such as FlashForward and Paradox on TV while, on the big screen, the latest Star Trek movie created an alternative universe through time travel.
So sci-fi thriller Triple Hit has come along at just the right time.
And yet it still manages to seem refreshingly different. I can't recall a series or movie where there were three incarnations of the same person existing on wildly different versions of Earth.
The film was made by Leamington-based Entanglement Productions and won third place in the Best Film Category at the recent Institute of Videography awards, held at Coventry's Ricoh Arena. It was then screened at the first Falstaff International Film Festival in Stratford-on-Avon.
Triple Hit's writer and director Huw Bowen (pictured right) said: "The film festival was a lot of fun, and we won another award - Special Mention for Best Visual Effects,...

Schrödinger's Girl is a fairly low-budget British sci-fi film concerning a young female scientist called Rebecca, fired from her job at a university and working in contemporary London with her faithful assistant Matt and flirty equipment connection Dave, in an attempt to prove the existence of parallel worlds. Meanwhile in one of said other worlds there's her double, Sarah, using the far more legitimate and futuristic bio-computers that her advanced parallel world, The United Nations sector of Western Europe, has to offer. To further complicate things Anastasia, another version of Rebecca, is trying the same thing in the Republic of Great Britain, a savage parallel world run under a brutal communist regime, complete with statues of Joseph Stalin and scary propaganda. Anastasia uses pretty low-tech methods that involve unsettling human experiments and lots of gore.
