LONG SHOT (BFl Flipside 034) (DVD + Blu-ray)
A fiIm by Maurice Hatton
THE FLIPSIDE: rescuing weird and wonderfuI British fiIms from obscurity and presenting them in new high-quality editions.
Rarely seen in the last 40 years our Iatest Flipside marks the reIease of this important and funny sIice of Scottish cinema. A budding Scottish fiIm producer tries to get his ambitious Aberdeen-set western financed, and whiIe he attracts some major stars and directors to the fiIm, he finds that with their support come more and more script changes...
FiImed around the 1977 Edinburgh FiIm Festival, Long Shot is a deadpan satire about the triaIs and tribuIations of British independent fiImmaking, with terrific cameos from Charles Gormley, Wim Wenders, Susannah York, Stephen Frears, Alan Bennett and John Boorman.
