Movie description: A puritan Police Sergeant arrives in a Scottish island village in search of a missing girl, who the Pagan locals claim never existed.

There’s a lot of people now looking for alternative visions of Britain’ … Zakia Sewell.

Her broadcasting career has flourished over more than two decades and now she is one of the most well-respected and sought-after personalities in the film, television and audio industry.

It’s great to see a mixture of ages seeing a classic movie on the big screen, although I don’t think some people were expecting the long Q&A before the movie. One woman shouted out after the Q&A when the film was about to start, “About Time”, slightly disrespectful in my point of view as the Q&A was mentioned in the booking for the movie and of its length. Personally, for me, I loved the Q&A and it became part of the experience of such a classic. The film tells the chilling story of a puritan Police Sergeant who arrives on a remote Scottish Island in search of a missing girl only to find the Pagan locals claiming she never existed. I adore B-movies and exploitation films in many of their guises and also have a soft spot for creature features. Now, the film’s golden jubilee is arriving at a moment of booming interest in Britain’s folk heritage, from neolithic walking group Stone Club to Wiltshire publication Weird Walk, even Stroud morris dancing collective Boss Morris’s appearance alongside Wet Leg at the 2023 Brit awards. “You can tell so much about where a society is at by what they’re listening to,” says writer Melanie Xulu who edits Cornish acid folk zine Moof. “The fact that folk music is having a revival says a lot about where we are now. People are a bit lost and are looking to reconnect with our past, as we’re becoming ever more city-based and global.”Joe Machine’s works are dovetailed to the creative writings of Dr. Steven O’Brien, whose poetry and prose create a harmonic symbiosis of brush and pen. Artist and academic have been collaborating on select projects since 2015. NATIONWIDE CINEMA & HOME ENTERTAINMENT RELEASE Posted by Phil on Jun 27, 2023 in All, drama, DVD/Blu-ray, fantasy, Film, Headline, horror, News, thriller | 0 comments After being made aware by an anonymous letter that young girl Rowan Morrison has gone missing on the isolated enclave of Summerisle, he is fierce and dogged in his pursuit of the truth, even as the eccentric locals (who have long abandoned traditional religion in favour of more hedonistic observances) stonewall him at every turn. But there is so much more to the story behind Sergeant Howie’s visit and stranger still are the rites that take place there.

A second generation 35mm intermediate positive produced in 1973 was used to replace a small section with unrepairable damage in the original negative. The additional footage is sourced from 35mm prints, which are the only known sources for this material. Colour grading and restoration were completed by Silver Salt Restoration UK who dedicated over 500 hours to fix physical damage to the 35mm negative, manually clean and remove dirt, sparkle and scratches. The colour grade used was previously approved by Robin Hardy and replicated here. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Studiocanal are proud to release a newly restored 4K version of the 2011 Final Cut of the film.
