Brain Full of Holes INT:Layout 1 1/4/10 1:17 PM Page vi Brain Full of Holes INT:Layout 1 1/4/10 1:17 PM Page 1 Chapter 1 Cheese again. It was always cheese. Didn’t the Swiss have anything else to put on their sandwiches? Sheldon McGlone looked at his lunch and shook his head with the air of someone well used to dealing with life’s disappointments. It wasn’t that Sheldon really had anything against cheese, or dairy products, or the Swiss for that matter. He’d often enjoyed a tasty cheese sandwich back in Australia. But lately it seemed that all he’d been getting on his school sandwiches was Swiss cheese, chock full of the completely pointless holes that they were so proud of. Sheldon couldn’t see the point of holes in cheese, or any other food, with the possible exception of the bub- bles in fizzy drinks, or the bit in the middle of a dough- nut. Why, he wondered, would anyone go to the trouble Brain Full of Holes INT:Layout 1 1/4/10 1:17 PM Page 2 MarTin CHaTTerTon of making cheese when a large chunk of the finished article was going to be thin air? What made things worse was that this sandwich had been made by his mother! Not a Swiss person, but a fel- low true-blue Aussie. True, Sheldon’s mother, the for- mer Mrs. Mary McGlone, had married a Swiss man. Maybe that meant that she was now technically half- Swiss, which would make Sheldon about one-quarter Swiss, or five-sixteenths, or something like that (maths not being Sheldon’s strong point). He supposed he’d get used to it eventually, in the same way he was getting used to eating fondue and watching Swiss television. Sheldon shrugged and took a bite of his sandwich. Lunchtime was lunchtime, after all, and, as cheese sandwiches went, this one wasn’t too bad. Looking up (with a mouthful of bread and cheese) at the ridicu- lously beautiful mountains, he had to admit that, from this angle, Switzerland wasn’t half bad, either. It was another effortlessly sensational Alpine day, one of an odd series that had been turning up again and again recently, despite it being officially winter. Proba- bly global warming, thought Sheldon. Most things were, these days. Whatever it was, it felt pretty good. The blue sky stretched itself across the snowcapped mountains and Sheldon snorted up another lungful of air crisper than a jumbo bag of extra-crispy, spearmint-flavored crisps. The air was very different from the slow-moving, chunky sort of air he’d left behind in Farrago Bay. Not that the Aussie air was polluted—it was simply that this Alpine stuff felt like it had been freshly made every morning just for him. It was so good that, from time to 2 Brain Full of Holes INT:Layout 1 1/4/10 1:17 PM Page 3 The Brain Full of Holes time, Sheldon even felt the urge to have a bit of a yodel. There was something about the echoing valleys between the Alps and the springy, flower-strewn mead- ows that lent itself to yodeling. Of course, Sheldon knew he’d never give in to the temptation. Beside Sheldon at the school lunch table, his step- brother, best friend, and self-styled World’s Greatest Detective, Theophilus Nero Hercule Sherlock Wimsey Father Brown Marlowe Spade Christie Edgar Allen Brain, adjusted his battered spectacles, lifted the corner of his identical sandwich with the end of his unlit pipe, and peered suspiciously inside. “Remarkable,” he said. “I know!” said Sheldon, shaking his head from side to side. “Swiss cheese. Again!” “Ah,” said The Brain. “That wasn’t quite what… never mind.” The Brain was always doing things like that. Just when you thought you knew what he was thinking, he’d surprise you by revealing that he was, in fact, thinking about something entirely different. Sheldon looked at The Brain—almost everyone called him that— and not for the first time since they’d arrived in Switzer- land, Sheldon thought about what a strange, complicated journey it had been to end up here, related to this rather odd-looking individual. The first thing you noticed about The Brain was the size of his head. It wasn’t so big that it made people form a baying mob armed with pitchforks and flaming torches intent on stringing him up from the nearest tower, but it was definitely on the sizeable side. And 3 Brain Full of Holes INT:Layout 1 1/4/10 1:17 PM Page 4 MarTin CHaTTerTon anyone who knew The Brain knew that the reason he needed a head that size, was that a normal-sized head simply would not have been large enough to contain the astonishing amount of fizzing little gray cells that were stuffed in there.

    CONTENTS 3 WELCOME 32 MUSIC VIDS 44 AWARDS 4 SCHEDULE 36 ANIMATION 46 AREA TO DO 6 FEATURES 38 NEW MEDIA 10 SHORTS 40 SCREENPLAYS WELCOME TO THE 7TH ANNUAL FILMQUEST In recent years I’ve written: “At FilmQuest, the “we” is more powerful than the “me.” All races, creeds, orientations, and ages are welcome. If you’ve ever felt lost or forgotten, or if you’ve ever felt neglected, we are here for you where there is a place for you amongst the stars. The more diverse we are, the richer and better we are for it, for FilmQuest is yours just as much as it is mine, and together we are all FilmQuest.” I don’t think these words have ever been more true than now. After a year unlike any other, we’re all finally back together again. Celebrating each other’s achievements, discovering new voices, and making new friendships is what makes us a community, and it is also the lifeblood we need to fuel our own creativity and inspiration. Now more than ever we need each other. Thus, during this May’s festival, and whether you’re attending physically or virtually, I request that each of you ensure that you make at least one new friend for life. Find someone you can collaborate with, share secrets with, and cherish until the end of your days. After all, are you each not sorcerers? Wielders of creativity and powerful enchantments? So who better to make a conspirator with than a fellow FilmQuester, wherein you each see yourselves in each other.
