Posted: 16-Sep-2007 12:24 I take it there's never been a UK entry for foreign language and that the BAFTA old boys intend to keep it that way...? Time to shoot some knackered horses and/or get an pan-Celtic film academy set up, and fight to get it independent nomination rights.... [Google tells me that there's been at least one Welsh nomination previously -- but still....] |

Posted: 16-Sep-2007 17:11 I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and was hoping that maybe they'd said that Gaelic and Welsh are not foreign languages in the UK but if there's been a previous Welsh nomination then obviously not. Have any of you seen this film? I felt that the music was just beautiful and really enhanced the film. I recognised Christine Primrose's voice. Do you know who else contributed? |

Posted: 16-Sep-2007 17:36 from Temple Records website: 'The soundtrack features some fantastic Gaelic vocalists and musicians including Temple Records artist Christine Primrose, Màiri Nic a Ghobhainn, Caitlin NicAonghais, Allan Macdonald, Alasdair Codona, Mary MacMaster, and Hamish Moore'. |

Posted: 16-Sep-2007 18:48 You can also get a taste of the music on the film's website. The link shouldn't be too hard to find. |

Posted: 16-Sep-2007 21:03 I really wanted to see this in Edinburgh at the Film Festival but both showings were sold out when I tried to buy tickets (3 weeks beforehand!). I will have to wait for dvd now. |

Posted: 17-Sep-2007 08:05 weepiper - I think it is due to go on general release soon. |

Posted: 17-Sep-2007 15:22 I suspect that weepiper means he's out of the country. I made a point of going to the Festival showing because I knew I was "daein a flit" |

Posted: 17-Sep-2007 20:10 I've heard lots about it, but haven't had the opportunity to see it yet. Does anyone know if it's coming up to the Highlands soon? Is there a site which gives details of where it's to be screened? |

Posted: 17-Sep-2007 23:04 Very helpful, Onny. Positively suspicious on a Gaelic thread. And there I had you down as Comment 15 and/or 19, pretending to be St George (and pretending to make mistakes. ;-)) |

Posted: 01-Oct-2007 11:12 I received the following e-mail through Iomairtean Gàidhlig: a chàirdean Gu ruige seo, chan eil plans aig VUE Inbhir Nis am fiolm ùr Seachd a thaisbeanadh, B' fhiach e canntain riuth gum bheil sinn ga iarraidh fhaicinn aig VUE an Inbhir Nis http://www.myvue.com/contact_us.asp (VUE cinemas does not plan to show 'Seachd' in Inverness even though they are showing it in Edinburgh and Hamilton. Use the above link to ask them to show it in Inverness.) |

Posted: 01-Oct-2007 11:41 Chris has every right to be angry. If they had chosen another film because they felt it was better then fair enough but to refuse to put forward any film is outrageous. 'Seachd' looks and sounds absolutely beautiful. |

Posted: 01-Oct-2007 21:09 EilidhM - I think you will find that Vue Inverness is showing Seachd from Friday 5th October. The problem is that they have chosen to miss out the word Seachd, and have just called it The Inaccessible Pinnacle. If you look under All Films rather than Booking Now, you will find it. They have a strange way of listing, as I found out a few months ago when I was looking for the showing of The Flying Scotsman. |
