Brad Pitt needs no introduction. Along with UK hard man Vinnie Jones in pole position, both are featured in our Cover Story on the making of SNATCH, writer-director Guy Ritchie’s eagerly anticipated follow-up to his box-office smash Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels. Our regular feature, Behind the Camera, focuses on four cinematographers – from one making his first feature, to this year’s BAFTA television award-winner for his stunning work on a critically-acclaimed costume serial. In fact, DAVID BENNETT, an old BBC hand, proved to be a prize-winning debutant, scooping the BAFTA Cymru award for Best Cinematography on Justin Kerrigan’s stylish Human Traffic. FRED TAMMES BSC, the Dutch-born veteran of 20 years in film and TV this side of the North Sea, earned his British Film Academy Award for the BBC’s acclaimed Wives & Daughters. Since making her feature debut on Young Soul Rebels a decade ago, NINA KELLGREN BSC has been accumulating a very impressive list of credits including Solomon And Gaenor, shot in Welsh and English, which was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Hollywood Oscars. She recently completed Mumbo Jumbo, a music-powered fantasy with Brian Blessed and Melinda Messenger.

And then to the country to visit CHELTENHAM FILM STUDIOS, the UK’s newest film studio complex, up and running at full throttle, thanks to the perseverance of its founder, the award-win- ning designer David Bill.
We take a look at a lively young film company, whose film series URBAN CHILLERS is currently scaring everyone witless and we go on a muddy location in search of that disappearing horse-racing legend SHERGAR. All this plus a bit of déjà vu on the CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2000 and reports from the set of TIGER ASPECT’s first ITV drama, My Fragile Heart as well as the Edinburgh Film Festival opener, There’s Only One Jimmy Grimble. ■
