But, JohnnyM, turning it around, there may be a lot of people who have no idea what NMA sound like and may say 'damn, this is GOOD'...   :o

I still think that the 30-year+ history of NMA is a story worthy of investigation and illumination...

As I said - im really looking forward to it. I just cannot see it being an Anvil style career changing film.

It's march already and still no news. Last info I got from Matt Reid himself was that the thing is finished and is now in the hands of german production company 'The Match Factory' who wanted to try to enter it into some film festivals. I contacted them to try to get some info on a possible date for a public release but there was no response :(

Any news available inside the NMA camp?

Found this snippet in Jonathan Green's LinkedIn profile !

"Producer of New Model Army documentary feature film "Between Dog and Wolf: The New Model Army story" sold worldwide by The Match Factory for release in cinemas Autumn 2014."

Was hoping we'd get to see it before Autumn.

And the meaning is:
the film is ready to be presented by a company, willing to pay some xxx pounds and then we have to wait for the date, the company is willing to sell cinema tickets or to sell it as a dvd without presentimng it in a cinema?
And the rights to present it go to a company and we fans in a worst case will never be able to see it (cinema, tv, dvd)?  :'(
Viv - please give us some details !!!
And me, I`ve got a black place in my heart
Still got this hole in me
Perhaps - I am the master of nothing?

London’s biggest film export event returns with a new name and strong selection of upcoming titles.

This year’s London Screenings (June 23-26) marks the 11th edition of the capital’s biggest film export event and has been given a make-over for 2014.

It has dropped the previous title of the London UK Film Focus (LUFF) and will introduce various new strands. But organisers are quick to point out this isn’t a case of reinventing the event - more of “buffing it up” after more than a decade.

“Everyone felt that after doing it for 10 years, maybe it was time for a bit of a facelift,” says Adrian Wootton, CEO of Film London, which organises the London Screenings.

The budget of around $330,000 is roughly the same as in previous years. The key difference is that the event, which generates an estimated $8m a year in international business for British films and sales agents, has secured multi-year funding.

Helena Mackenzie, head of inward investment and business development at Film London, adds: “It’s a natural time to look back at what you’ve done and look at some of the ways you can improve.”

Around 120 buyers are confirmed to attend including representatives from North American firms TLA (Raymond Murray), Tribeca (Alison Diviney) and Mongrel Media (Andrew Frank).

French buyers include Diaphana (Karin Beyens) and Wild Bunch (Marie-Pierre Valle); German buyers include Ascot Elite (Stephan Giger) and Prokino (Ira Von Gienanth); and Italian buyers include Eagle Pictures (Maria Grazia Vaira).

“I do think it is critical that the UK has a dedicated event for British films and British sales companies. God knows, we work in a very overcrowded and highly competitive marketplace,” says Stephen Kelliher, head of sales and marketing at the UK’s Bankside Films, which will be showing the trailer for X + Y starring Asa Butterfield in the “Coming Soon” section.

New Sections

Distributors have sometimes grumbled about the uneven quality of the selection. But the fact they keep coming back in huge numbers - and acquire British films - suggests the event retains its appeal for them.

One innovation likely to plase buyers is the introduction of “invitation only” screenings of some high profile films by leading companies such as Altitude Film Entertainment, Embankment Films and Protagonist Pictures.

There is also a new “Coming Soon” section, focusing on pre-sales and newer titles. The idea, Mackenzie explains, is to present material that buyers will not have encountered before.

The films already represented by sales companies are presented in Showcase. The Breakthrough section highlights films from emerging talent.

“We’re not just resting on our laurels,” Wootton notes. “It’s a good event (already) but we’ve done something that hopefully makes it even more useful to the sales and acquisition community.”

Speak ot sales agents and they enthuse about the relaxed atmosphere at the London Screenings.

“You talk about business certainly and the objective is to do business. But it is done in a very conducive atmosphere,” Kelliher comments. “That goes a long way to facilitating deals later in the year.”

Premieres

Films receiving premieres at the London Screenings include:

Between Dog And Wolf, a documentary about cult band New Model Army, sold by The Match Factory;

Dough, John Goldschmidt’s bakery-based family drama starring Jonathan Pryce, sold by Umedia;

Killing Joke - The Death & Resurrection Show, a punk documentary, sold by Kevin Williams’ Elixir;

Peterman, Mark Abraham’s crime drama, sold by Park Entertainment;

Rio 50°, Julien Temple’s Brazilian music documentary, sold by Metro International;

Seve, the biopic of late golf chamption Seve Ballesteros, sold by The Salt Company;

Shooting For Socrates, directed by James Erskine and starring John Hannah, sold by Metro International;

The Greatest Englishman, Justin Hardy’s Victorian era drama about the first man to swim the English Channel, sold by Manifest;

The Guvnors, a bruising London gangland drama, sold by Metrodome International;

We Are Many, an activist documentary, sold by Metro International.
Meanwhile, Bankside will be flagging its romantic comedy The Big Shoe starring Kristen Stewart and Jim Sturgess and looking for further pre-sales on US drama Freeheld, starring Julianne Moore and Ellen Page.

Ben Roberts, director of the BFI Film Fund, will be tub-thumping on behalf of the current BFI-supported movies in production and post-production, among them Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster.

Films showcased at the Screenings can sometimes capture buyers’ imaginations. For example, Dexter Fletcher’s Wild Bill was released by Universal UK after being introduced to buyers at the Screenings in 2011.

Regardless of whether or not deals are done over the next few days, the sellers see the event as an ideal way for beginning negotiations that may take unto Toronto and the AFM to conclude.

The organisers are still exploring potential collaboration with the Edinburgh International Film Festival (June 18-29), which runs at the same time and is also supported by the BFI. At this stage, although relations between the two events are cordial, no-one has come up with a practical way of them working together.

Jonathan Green, manager of New Model Army, is posting things like "1st cinema viewing  "Between Dog & Wolf:The New Model Army story" @officialnma went well. Thanks to @BFI @Film_London @TheMatchFactory TIAGD" on Twitter and it is not possible to get any information out to those who have contributed and are waiting for months for some news? Strange...  :(

I heard sometime last year that JS was not too happy with the finished film, and kind of distanced himself from it. Reasons being the film was too much about the past, and not enough about the band today, and going forward for the future. Also the role of Joolz played down as not a major contributor to the whole NMA picture.
