W hat a difference a few days made during one of the wettest Junes on record. Just over a week after competitors were buffeted by wind and rain at Fuji/LWT’s annual golf day on June 3 at Burhill G.C. in Surrey they were treated to nigh perfect conditions at neighbouring St George’s Hill G.C. for Fuji’s own Invitation event - and how the scoring reflected such a radical change in the elements. In between the squalls at Burhill, there was, by way of compensation, splen- did hospitality notably a well- stocked “halfway house”, sponsored
by Ambassador.

WILDSCREEN 98
Secret Life Of Seahorses from 1996
Arecord number of entries - no less than 387 produc- tions, 70 more than its previ- ous best - will be competing for coveted Panda Awards at this year’s Wildscreen Festival of nat- ural history film and television.
Organised by The Wildscreen Trust in association with WWF-UK and principally sponsored by the BBC, Discovery Channel, Fujifilm, Partridge Films and Survival, the festival is being held in Bristol from October 10.
The winners, selected by the festival jury (chaired this year by Pat Ferns of Canada’s Banff Television Fest), will be announced on October 16 at the Colston Hall Gala Panda Awards ceremony, the climax to a week of screenings, sem- inars, training workshops, master classes, exhibitions, debates and social events. ■
SHORT AND SHARP
Described as “a 15 minute whirl through the alien abduction theory, pugilism, sci-fi, mystery and docu- mentary,” Seizures is the lat- est short from British director Johnny Kevorkian following his 16mm gangster thriller, The Wake.
Written by Greg Bower, Seizures, shot in 35mm on Fuji, is the story of an ex-champion boxer Murray Simkins (Martin Malone) who begins to be traumatised by his past. William Hootkins and Lorna Elwyn Jones co-star in the tale told, explains Kevorkian, “in a mix of hal- lucinatory flashback, real time and voice over.”
Kevorkian, who set up his com- pany Minds Eye Films after earning a BA in film and video, now has plans with writer Bower for a feature film project called Fuel. ■
FLAHERTY AWARD WINNER
X-RAY WARNING
T here’s evidence that a sophisticated new checked baggage inspection system, currently in limited use but expanding fast, can on occa-
sion cause damage to camera films. The CTX-500SP, especially for- mulated to detect explosives, works with two X-ray systems. It’s the second scan that, depending on filmspeed and position of the film, may result in fogging and streaks of the photographic emul- sion which will not be visible
before being processed.
Fujifilm advises: Don’t put
unprocessed film in checked bag- gage, film and cameras should be placed in carry-on luggage, and if you can’t carry your film use a cargo handler to ship it and require that they certify your films will not be subject to X-rays. ■
