The British Film Institute will be archiving three of our recent films (Everyone's 2012, The New Age of Travel, and Vision Beijing: Belief), for reasons of cultural significance. Our London 2012 Olympic bid film, Sport at Heart, was previously archived by the BFI.

On Sunday night I attended the closing night gala of the Dublin International Film Festival. The closing screening was the premiere of ‘Eden’, directed by Declan Recks and based on the award-winning play by Eugene O’Brien. ‘Eden’ is a meditation on married life and is one of the best cinematic adaptations of a play that I have seen. The film was co-financed by the IFTN and RTE, and is being screened on RTE in lieu of a theatrical release – one way of getting a local story to local audiences. The afterparty was a blast - those Irish certainly know how to have a good time!

All at New Moon wish Wayne Drew a fantastically successful post-IVCA career. Wayne - we have really valued your support over the years and feel truly honoured by your acknowledgement of New Moon in your farewell letter to the industry. To paraphrase: "There have been so many really great times. Seeing 1,000 people at our annual awards not only enjoying themselves but also giving a standing ovation to New Moon, on winning the Grand Prix with their impressive Olympic film. Colleagues uniting to celebrate a competitor's achievements. What a great and inspiring sight!"
- Wayne Drew, exiting IVCA Chief Executive

On Saturday 26 January, New Moon Managing Director, Caroline Rowland, gave a presentation at the Grow Your Own Business Conference in Manchester. Grow Your Own Business is a conference series aimed at entrepreneurs starting out in business. Caroline’s presentation, ‘Marketing for Increased Profit’, was described as “the most well received and attended” presentation at the conference. She spoke about the nature of propaganda and how this powerful force can be used to market a product or business.

In defence of this year’s best actress nominations, I’d like to present Keira Knightly. I haven’t always been a fan, and after the third Pirates of the Caribbean film I had almost despaired of changing my mind about her. Then I saw Atonement. I really think she gave an excellent performance – she was playing to her most well-developed strength (brittle upper class!) but she also showed some of the subtlety and humility of performance that is common to all good actors. The makers even made the brave decision to have all the characters speak in 1930s dialect, and clever Keira pulled it off admirably. I really feel that we can start to be comfortable in expecting great things from Miss Knightly.
