Greetings!
 
This issue Sonya Whitefield takes us on a Journey of Animated gifthe Hysteretic Woman, Grant Corr talks about finding directorial love online, and Robert Scott, organiser of the Belfast Record Fair, explains why he wants to bring back the wax.

Listen in to playwright Martin Lynch on his revival of Over The Bridge, pianist Michael McHale, and the launch of the Belfast Film Festival.

In reviews, Elvis squares up to pop band General Fiasco and the nine Von Trapps face down the Nazis. An unhinged moustachioed Frenchman brings Banksy's subversive stencillings to Queen's Film Theatre in Exit Through The Gift Shop, while The Hurt Locker reminds us that war might be hell but it can also be exciting.
