THE Y WORD A short film written by David & Ivor Baddiel to raise awareness of Anti-Semitism in Football, directed by Robert Young (Splitting Heirs, Eichmann), produced by Vikki Scott (Fahrenheit Films) and DoP'd by Clive Tickner (Spice World). Featuring Gary Lineker, Frank Lampard, Ledley King, Kieran Gibbs, Rachel Yankey and Zesh Rehman. Sponsored by Kick It Out, David Baddiel, CST & Maccabi with full support from The FA, Premier League & the Professional Footballer's Association. Status: Completed and airing in January 2011 Information The chanting of ‘Yiddo' and the evocation of other anti-semitic chants and behaviour, such as ‘gas chamber' hissing still occurs with alarming regularity at football grounds up and down the country and is largely left undealt with. In a zero-tolerance for racism in modern football, the argument put forward by some that “Yiddo” is a special case, because Spurs fans, most of whom are not Jewish, like to use the term about themselves, is irrelevant: Yid is a race-hate term, exactly the same as offensive terms for black or Asian people, the use of which, in any context, would lead to immediate exclusion at a football ground. As a way of combating the ‘Yid' chant, raising awareness of the issue and starting a dialogue about it, David Baddiel has written a short (90 second) film addressing this issue. This film will feature well-known footballers and be shown at football grounds across the country, cinemas and distributed virally to as many websites as possible. |

COUNTERPOINT A short action thriller – directed by Richard Jackson and written by Christian Ryden and produced by Vikki Scott (Fahrenheit Films) starring Chris Jamba (My So Called Life) and Barber Ali (Dirty Pretty Things). Post by Pablo Post at Shepperton Studios. Status: Completed Information Two men enter a petrol station. Seconds later a masked man appears and holds both men at gun point. What unfolds will change their lives and those close to them forever. Follow the clues in this cat and mouse thriller where everyone has a different counterpoint. Counterpoint won ‘Best Action Short' in Total Film Magazine 2008 and is currently distributed by IceWhole. Total Film said, ‘Christian Ryden's Counterpoint came closest to getting the genuine feel of a trashy, robbery-gone-wrong urban action movie. A bit Guy Ritchie, we thought. Back when he was good, that is.' |
