The subject of Time has infinitely fascinated writers, philosophers and scientists. Conceived of by British producer Nicolas McClintock, the award-winning documentary maker wondered how different film directors might view the subject. Ten Minutes Older 'The Trumpet' is one of two feature length compilations of movie shorts by some of the world's most renowned film directors with contributions from Aki Kaurismaki, Victor Erice, Werner Herzog, Jim Jarmusch, Wim Wenders, Spike Lee and Chen Kaige. Each film is linked by the respective musical instrument in its title and the musical interlude (scored by Paul Englishby) between each film connects each short in a gentle manner, allowing each picture to have its own 'frame'. The theme tune from Ten Minutes Older The Trumpet is from legendary Jazz maverick Hugh Masekela and the feature includes contributions from bands including The Eels.

THE POOL |
- Director: Chris Smith
- Cast: Venkatesh Chavan, Jhangir, Nana Patekar, Ayesha Mohan
- Genre: Unknown
|
In cinemas Friday 16th November 2012!
The Pool is the story of Venkatesh, a "bus boy" working at a hotel in Panjim, Goa, who sees from his perch in a mango tree a luxuriant garden and shimmering pool hidden behind a wall.
In making whatever efforts he can to better himself, Venkatesh offers his services to the wealthy owner of the home. Not content to simply dream about a different life, Venkatesh is inquisitive about the home's inhabitants-indeed about the world around him-and his curiosity changes the shape of his future.
Remarkably cogent and affecting, this is inspired storytelling distinctive for its ability to transmit a complete viewpoint in just a phrase or brief conversation. In the same vein as his latest documentary, Smith's creative acumen focuses on the gulf between the rich and poor, sharing its insights, observations, poignancy, and truth in a deceptively simple narrative.
Working in Hindi with young actors and in a country obviously not his own, Smith has nevertheless created a superbly incisive portrait that will move and delight you.
