For your diary – reggae films at the National Media Museum
Made In Jamaica – Documentary with: Elephant Man, Gregory Isaacs, Bounty Killer, Lady Saw, Toots, Bunny Wailer -Â Three showings from Saturday 28 November to Thursday 3 December
Rockers – with Leroy ‘Horsemouth’ Wallace, Gregory Isaacs, Robbie Shakespeare – Sunday 22 November at 6.15pm only.
One Love – Friday 20 and Thursday 26 November
The National Media Museum website www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk is, as usual, pants and fails to give info, but the film programme for October and November can be downloaded here www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/pdfs/filmguide_octnov.pdf – see page 20.
I’ve seen Rockers, and recommend it – the camera takes a shine to Leroy ‘Horsemouth’ Wallace, and reggae fans will spot many legends amongst the cast. It features that lovely clip of Burning Spear sitting on the beach at night and singing an acapella version of Jah No Dead, as the waves roll in and out.

And the Leeds International Film Festival 4-22 November
