What with Newsnight Review on tonight, I thought I’d entertain my own slice of culture on the blog today, and let you know that a good friend of mine recently completed work on a film project which he is hoping to get into the festivals with.

La Bella Figura was shot in Rome last summer and has taken one year to bring to the screen. Jimbo, a fellow Lufbrarian, was principle photographer/designer and so all the very impressive looking camera work is his.

As far as I know he hadn’t much film experience prior to starting the project, so this was a pretty cool introductory project to land. I’ve only seen the trailer, but it looks impressive on the whole, and I’m intrigued to see more.

You can watch the trailer here or visit the official site .
