DECLARATION #22: The Misty Moon Film Club

(turquoise/orange sky)

i remember…i remember

i remember watching the Evening Standard British Film Awards on tv

i remember you going up to collect your ‘best british newcomer’ award

i remember you saying “thank you to Gary and Martin Kemp….for giving the fear…the glamour”

i remember being intrigued by you

(turquoise/orange/damson pink sky)

i remember you walking past me on Bethnal Green tube

i remember saying “excuse me are you Philip Ridley?”

i remember you smiled and said “yes”

i remember we talked and talked and talked

i remember the sound of  two minds cracking

(dark blue/red/yellow sky)

i remember going to see The Passion of Darkly Noon in Leicester square at the 1995 London Film Festival

i remember you thanking the audience for “coming to see the film at this ungodly hour…ungodly being the operative word”

i remember people laughing when the giant silver shoe first appeared….(i didnt laugh)

i remember humming ‘who will love me now?’ all the way home

(purple/crimson/gold sky)

i remember reading the words ‘Philip Ridley is making a new film’

i remember going to the Frighfest premiere of Heartless

i remember how i felt when i saw the opening titles for the first time

i remember how i felt when i saw the words ‘A Philip Ridley’ film’ on the big screen

i remember…..i remember
