Stephen Turnbull (Edward Hogg) hasn‟t left the house in months. When an infestation of mice wreaks havoc on his precious routine, he finds his mind hurtling back to the disastrous trek round Europe he undertook the previous year with his best friend Bunny (Simon Farnaby). It all began with a feeble attempt to declare his feelings in a hokey Captain Crab restaurant, where Stephen was devastated to discover that the great love of his life had put him firmly in “the friend zone”. Bunny proposes that they go on holiday, determined to do something about “those walloping great space-hoppers” that Stephen has “clanging around in his pants”. At the local bookies, Stephen breaks the habit of a lifetime and takes a risk, putting fifty quid on a rank outsider. With the winnings, they launch themselves into a debauched road trip where they stumble upon a demented dog-loving tramp (Julian Barratt), an alcoholic ex-matador (Noel Fielding) and a quite astonishingly dull tour-guide (). But it is the superstitious waitress Eloisa (Veronica Echegui) who steals their hearts. An unlikely love triangle develops which propels them from the industrial wastelands of Poland to the haunting bull fields of Spain, where we finally reach the heart of Bunny & the Bull. A year later, Stephen‟s flat becomes the springboard for an extraordinary journey through his memory. Like Alice in Wonderland, he finds himself on a voyage through psychedelic lands made up of snapshots and souvenir replica landmarks, newspapers and old clock parts. Combining the visual inventiveness of Michel Gondry and the bittersweet comedy of Sideways, BUNNY & THE BULL is a "Withnail & I" for the mentally ill - a funny, touching, beautiful and utterly unique journey to the end of the room.

Baird Tel: +33 4 93 39 63 48 Producer Stefan Haller [email protected] Status : Completed Home Office Tel: +44 20 7437 8696 Synopsis CASS is the incredible true story of one man‟s identity struggle and ultimate redemption. The film follows how a Jamaican orphan baby, adopted by an elderly white couple in 1950's London, changed from being the most feared hooligan in the country to Britain‟s best selling black author. CASS grew up in a time before political correctness and as a young child, was forced to endure racist bullying on a daily basis. One fateful day the pent up years of anger surfaced in an explosive burst of violence and from then on, CASS decided he would never be bullied again. Through violence, CASS found the respect he had never had, but he‟d become addicted to the buzz of fighting and the power it ultimately gave him. As a boyhood fan of West Ham United, CASS rose through the ranks to become the leader of their hooligan gang, The Intercity Firm (The ICF). Being a six feet five black man in a predominantly white social sphere, CASS was an instantly recognisable target for his adversaries and the authorities. CASS was eventually given the first long term prison sentence for football related violence, when the Thatcher regime made it their main priority to rid the country of the „English disease‟. After enduring years of racial abuse in childhood, CASS was again faced with the same problem, but now from an element of black prisoners who regarded him as a „Choc-Ice‟ (black on the outside, white on the inside). On his release, CASS fell in love with ELAINE and tried to change his life, but his violent past eventually caught up with him and he was shot three times at point blank range, as a result of a previous feud with an Arsenal gang. CASS was left with the terrible dilemma; to seek vengeance as the street had taught him, or to renounce his violent past.

The fact that he hasn‟t got the body, a boat or any money, isn‟t going to stop him keeping his word. However, his adversary, Froken Reimark (Hege Schoyen), administrator of the retirement community where Wally lives, has other plans for him and the deceased. In 48 hours Wally must snatch the body, win the cash, find a boat, perform the burial and escape - but first, he needs a plan. However, Wally is a doer, not a planner. When the serious Colonel Hansen (James Fox) is moved into Wally‟s room, only the delightful May (Lauren Bacall) prevents outright war between them and charms the un-adventurous Colonel into using his military expertise to devise a plan. Enlisting the help of his young, bohemian friend Nina (Ingrid Bolso Berdal) and windsurfing architect Ben (Kare Conradi), Wally sets out to achieve the plan‟s objectives, which combines the almost impossible with the daringly comical. As is all great comedies, anything that can go wrong does go wrong - and then some.
