The Independent covers Cine-City’s NEVERMADE programme in yesterdays paper, 18 November 2009.

Our opening night film MICMACS has been awarded a (12A) certificate by the BBFC, so anyone over the age of 12 can now see the film during Cine-City. Unfortunately films without certificates are restricted to those over 18 during the festival.
Thurs 26 Nov
Duke of Yorks Picturehouse 9.00am
The COSMAT conference 2009 features the distinctive debut feature film by South Coast director Matthew Thompson DUMMY.
Danny escapes his day to day existence with his sick mother by immersing himself in recreational drugs, girls and music. But things change when his mother dies from a possible overdose and he finds himself looking after his younger more introverted brother, Jack. Strong on atmosphere, DUMMY is a psychological drama, with a keen sense of visual style. Thompson,with producer Paula Barnes and actor Thomas Grant , will introduce his work and answer questions from the audiences of Film and Media A-Level students from Sussex schools and colleges. msr@varndean.ac.uk
