The LA Bookfair won’t be the only cool event this weekend because in Holland it’ll be two days of general Fantasy-goodness during the Elf Fantasy Fair! A great host of special guests such as Neil Gaiman, Robin Hobb, Brian and Wendy Froud and many, many more will come down for what is said to be Europe’s biggest fantasy-event. Lord of the Rings-fans should definitely try to attend, because none other then legendary Tolkien-illustrator Ted Nasmith, actor Bruce Hopkins (Gamling) and ‘The Uncharted Realms of Tolkien’-author Alex Lewis will be in attendance! For more information about this very interesting event check Dutch community-website TheFellowship.nl or ElfFantasy.nl!

HILLS PUBS HELP SET SCENE FOR NEW FILM
Two pubs in the Hills have been used as sites for filming a new Australian movie, Peaches. The Crafers and Stirling Hotel have been a hive of activity over the past fortnight, as SA (South Australian) Film Corporation crews moved in to film the movie starring two well-known Australian actors.
Two-time winner of the Australian Film Institute’s best actor award Hugo Weaving and Jaqueline McKenzie, perhaps best known for her role in Romper Stomper, have been on site filming Peaches – a love story dealing with accepting loss and change and learning how to move on.
Craig Monahan who directed The Interview, has been directing Peaches, written by Sue Smith.
