Hi
It was good to be involved in an excellent Hungarian event the other Friday, and there are hopes and plans for further events for Hungarian people including a walk round old Southampton on 26 April (see 4). The Czech exhibition (see 2) begins this week at the Museum of Archeology. I'd like to see things happening for all the European nationals living here. Let us know if you have any ideas.

Fancy doing some acting....and getting paid?
Twofour Communications, a production company based in Plymouth are making a drama for BISS (British International Sailors Society), a charity that looks after seafarers when they come to a foreign port by offering them a place to relax, giving them a phone card, supporting them through any personal troubles or even just directions to town.
We are looking for an Eastern European man aged 25-40 to act as one of the main characters in the film. We ideally need someone who has good English so they can take directions for acting although no English will need to be spoken in the film when playing the role of the seafarer.
We are also looking for a woman to play his wife, ideally the same nationality. And a child aged between 5-12. The wife and child would only be needed for one scene but the man will be required for several days. The film is in production 25th-29th April in and mostly around Southampton Docks. We will be able to pay people for their time if they are acting in the film.
There will be auditions in Southampton on Thursday 17th April from 1pm at Southampton Seafaers Centre, 12/14 Queens Terrace. If your interested please contact Will on 01752 727634 or email william.halfacree@twofour.co.uk
