Preview: Cinema
Even before it concluded, film-makers were working out how to commit Britain's longest-ever trial to celluloid. Channel 4 produced a drama-documentary, that was aired last year; this film, however is 50 minutes of straight documentary, compiled by then-amateur Franny Armstrong. Established director Ken Loach was involved, too, directing courtroom reconstruction screnes. Two Worlds Collide isn't likely to be broadcast in the forseeable future and it's currently touring the country playing community centres, festivals and the like - the two defendants, Helen Seteel and Dave Morris, will attend the Riverside showing for a post-screening debate.
