Jim Clark Film Festival 23 Feb 08 Witney Oxon
Discussion
I have just heard about this new event which will take place to mark 40 years since Jim's passing.
This is the press release.
First-ever Jim Clark Film Festival
A film festival which celebrates the life of the twice World Champion racing driver, Jim Clark, will take place at Eynsham Hall, near Witney, Oxfordshire on February 23rd 2008.
Clark scored his last race victory almost 40 years ago to the day of the event.
The programme will include film shows and talks by people who knew Clark well or worked with him.
The film shows will cover Clark’s exploits at Indianapolis, including his race-winning year of 1965, his races in the Tasman series which took place in Australia and New Zealand and other rare, never-seen-before footage, as well as some of his more famous European exploits.
The talk session will feature special guests Bob Dance, Jim Endruweit and Dick Scammell - all former mechanics who worked with Clark at Team Lotus - and Ian Scott Watson, who was a big influence on Clark’s early career.
Peter Darley, who was the official Team Lotus photographer during Clark’s time there, will be showing some slides of Clark during the talk session.
The day will finish with a three-course dinner at Eynsham Hall, where guests will be able to mingle and dine with the speakers and like-minded enthusiasts.
For more information, please see www.jimclarkfilmfestival.com or contact the organiser, Michael Oliver on 01993 200331.
As Michael Oliver and Gary Critcher are involved in the organisation, I have no doubt this will be a top quality event not to be missed, with a wide variety of films on the subject, some previously unseen. Also a gathering of historic cars and many people closely involved in Jim's life.
It is to be held at a beautiful stately home now used as a hotel and conference centre near Witney in Oxfordshire on 23rd Feb 2008
