Just a quick mention for another Spacex event, the South West Open Film Screening, which happened last night. A well-chosen programme, lasting around 75 minutes, represented the variety of artists' approaches to film-making, from the contemplative to the documentary.
With the immigration debate at full throttle, there couldn't have been a better time to show Katie Davies' Commonwealth about a citizenship ceremony in Sheffield Town Hall. I also rated Edward Adam's Somerset Scott - a deceptively simple film consisting of two long-shots of a lonely bagpiper playing in the incongruous setting of a Somerset village. They were among a number of films focusing on national identity and British eccentricity - in all its glorious diversity.
