Geek Art on Society6

 I've been searching high and low for some wall prints to decorate my new place. We all know what we like when we see it, but searching and trawling on the web for art with a film, sci-fi or geeky twist is a mine-field, as there is simply SO much out there. One site I came across that is a great starting point if you are after a limited-run print is Society6. Based in USA (keep an eye on the shipping costs), I've complied this blog post on my favourite pieces and artists on Society6 which might help speed up your search for a new artistic talking point, ready for when your neighbour pops over to borrow your Game Of Thrones boxset or spare controller pad.

Cinecity 2013: My guide to being a film festival volunteer

In November, I helped out at Brighton's annual film festival run by the fantastic Cinecity team. The theme for the festival's 11th year was 'Adventures in World Cinema', so as you'd imagine, the schedule spanned global offerings from mellifluous Mexico to forward France and many film making nations in-between. The festival also payed homage to Jan Švankmajer, the wonderfully imaginative Czech surrealist filmmaker, with free screenings of his bizarre short films and an exhibition of his incredibly detailed and eclectic treasures, kindly on display for the inquisitive.

AUDIO: Ender's Game Q&A with Harrison Ford and Asa Butterfield, London

On 7 October 2013, MCM hosted an exclusive panel with the stars and filmmakers of Ender’s Game at London’s Leicester Square Odeon, UK. I was lucky enough to bag a ticket and be in the same room with cinematic royalty.

Also in attendance was the film’s director and writer Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), and producers Bob Orci (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and Gigi Pritzker (Drive).
