| Look out Spielberg; the Hamptons are gunning for you. Morgan and Max Hampton are a father/son team of El Granada-based filmmakers. When not filmmaking, Max is a local middle school student. The Bottle is a no-budget special effects tour de force. It involves a bottle (natch), familiar coastside beaches, and, of course, a few space aliens. Max and Morgan will be on hand to describe this and their many other filmmaking projects. | |

| Screening date: | January, 2004 |
| Director: | Tim Lyn |
| Winner - 'Spirit of Moondance' award at the prestigious 2003 Moondance International Film Festival in Colorado.
Eldra was also chosen as the UK entry in the 2003 Academy Awards, Best Foreign Language Film category. Set in the 1930s, this is a beautiful Romeo and Juliet tale about two very different families in a small country village in Wales. The girl is a traditional Romany (gypsy) and the boy is a Welsh coal-miner's son and they take you into their innocent young hearts and dreams. Eldra is an entrancing cinematic venture into unknown realms of fantasy paired with the realities of daily life in an ancient and distant land. | |
