I’ve had the first of these photos knocking around for ages but couldn’t for the life of me remember where it was from; after finding another couple I did a bit of digging (well, a quick Google search for Paul and Rula Lenska) and have come to the conclusion that they must be from a screening of Gypo in 2005 (I saved the photo in August that year but the film wasn't officially released until October 2006 according to IMDB). The blonde lady is the director, Jan Dunn.

I'm guessing that these photos (which I've posted before) were taken at the same time:

Sacred Country

Sacred Country - a review

A few days after I first came out to my now ex, she handed me the book she’d just finished reading. “You should read this, I think you’ll find it interesting” she said. The book was Rose Tremain’s Sacred Country.

Sacred Country begins in 1952, with the six year old Mary Ward having the revelation that sheis actually a boy. The story follows Mary through three decades, until Mary eventually…

Mary is not like other girls. Mary is a boy. The only thing is, it's a secret... 

Fly the flag for trans cinema with Jan Dunn's Indiegogo campaign for Sacred Country. Get a copy of the novel signed by Rose Tremain! Be an extra! Great perks.

Sweeping through three decades, from the repressive English countryside of the nineteen-fifties to London of the swinging sixties and seventies America, this story follows Mary's fight to become Martin. Multi award winning filmmaker Jan Dunn's screenplay is a sensitive, colourful and often humorous account of Mary Ward's life, based on Rose Tremain's best selling novel "Sacred Country", a multi award winner that has been compared to Virginia Woolf's Orlando. Although if we were to use that comparison it would be Orlando.... with laughs!

Here's a bit of contentious fun: Jan Dunn's produced the only Dogme film I've ever truly enjoyed. No offense to Kristian Levring, luv yer work babe, but I prefer him splashy and with a soundtrack and actual cinematography. (Incidentally, this sounds promising. I love the notion of a danske western filmed in southern Africa.)
