Dir: Sam Copland
(UK 2009. 96 mins)

During the German invasion of Western Europe a German sniper is sent to eliminate a British scout squad reporting on suspected German movements in the Ardennes. Whilst awaiting the opportunity to strike he thinks back to his friends, his training and his parents and begins to develop a sympathy for the British soldiers in his sights. With his own family under threat from the SS, can he afford to question his motives?

We are delighted to present this latest film from Gloucestershire-based director Sam Copland, shot on location in the Forest of Dean. The dialogue for the film was completely improvised, with the actors working closely with the director to develop back stories and personalities for their characters. Adrian Annis stars as as Sergeant William Phillpot, Adam Bambrough as Captain George Richards, Matt Curnier as Corporal John Peters, Kevin Horsham as Max Schnider , Neil Linpow as Private Paul Jenkins , James McCartney as Lance Corporal Harry Roberts , Simon Nader as Horst , Rob Talbot as Major Hans Ritter, James Thyier as Gottlieb and Cathy Griffiths as Malena Schnider.

The cast, crew and director will be on hand afterwards to answer questions.
