filming of the new BBC/HBO production,
THE GATHERING STORM, which follows Churchill through the final part of his Wilderness Years in the Thirties before he returned triumphantly to power at the outbreak of World War Two.
There is an intriguing trio of cinematogra- phers interviewed in our Behind The Camera series. GEOFF BOYLE rose up through stills then television and documentary to be part of the BAFTA winning team on the live action short About A Girl earlier this year. MALCOLM MCLEAN started out as a gaffer in his native Australia and only graduated to DP some six years ago.

All this plus John Downer’s latest BBC TV wildlife extravaganza WEIRD NATURE, some fascinating personal testimony on our exciting new REALA 500D film stock from DPs Alan Martin and Jonathan Patrtridge and a short focus on a pair of international award-winning films, including No Man’s Land, which scooped the Best Foreign Language Oscar. ■
