RAINDANCE FILM FESTIVAL WILL SCREEN BANNED [A SERBIAN FILM]



London's indie film festival, Raindance, has announced its 2010 line-up, a 77-film strong line-up featuring some of independent cinema's finest and most controversial. The 18th Raindance film festival kicks off on September 29 with Jackboots On Whitehall, a satirical animation set in an alternative world in which Nazis occupy London and the good folk of England must rally together to give them the boot. Its voicecast, reading like a who's who of British acting talent, features Richard Griffiths, Tom Wilkinson, Richard E. Grant, Timothy Spall and Richard O'Brien

Festivities wrap up a week and a half later with Son Of Babylon, an Iraqi drama that's already won silverware at the Sundance and Berlin film festivals. Between the two comes a wealth of indie goodness, and, in the case of A Serbian Film, badness. Srdjan Spasojevic's controversial film is currently banned from public screening but will get an uncut private screening at the festival. The film which has been widely criticised for scenes involving paedophilia, necrophilia, rape and incest and was pulled from last month's FrightFest in response to the extent of the cuts demanded by the British Board of Film Classification and Westminster council. With FrightFest's organisers protesting that "a film of this nature should be shown in its entirety", Raindance appears to have found a way around the ban by billing the screening as a "private event".
