Falsely Murdered
Nail-biting amateur thriller in Pinner tells the story of a suspicious husband who may not have got the right man.
Award-winning amateur director Ronald English made this suspenseful thriller, which, as the opening title states, was specially commended by the Amateur Cine World magazine. This speaks to the quality of the filmmaking, for AWS only followed leading amateur filmmakers, many of whom, including docudrama pioneer Peter Watkins, went on to become highly regarded professional filmmakers themselves. Made by the Pinner Cine Society.

Amateur Auteurs
Ever dreamed of shooting your own movie? These pre-digital cine-enthusiasts did - with all the passion and devotion of the true auteur.
These low- (or no-) budget creations reach beyond simple point-and-shoot, back-garden efforts towards something more ambitious and skilful, revealing their authors' passion for film and their often astonishing ingenuity with limited resources. No desktop editing software or digital special effects for these amateur auteurs. The films include fiction and documentary, competition prizewinners and private labours of love. They may be the work of cine-clubbers or individual enthusiasts. But they all show a devotion to filmmaking that far transcends hobbyism. So look out for the delightful handmade intertitles, table-top special effects and library soundtracks which decorate many of the quirky stories, ultra-local documentaries and painstakingly composed home movies featured here.
