UK Green Film Festival 2013 opens with More Than Honey by Markus Imhoof

Bees are dying in their millions. And the consequences of the depletion of bee colonies go much further than having to spreading honey a little thinner on your toast. Oscar nominated director Markus Imhoof travelled to Switzerland, the U.S., Australia and China to show how desperate the crisis is becoming. The result is stunningly-shot More Than Honey. A documentary which takes great pains to remind viewers that a shocking “one third of our food would not exist without bees.”

Colour me sheltered, but I believe Cinnamon Soho is the first restaurant I’ve ever been to that serves brains on the menu. Lamb brains to be specific and a winner of the ‘Best in Taste of London’ Award in 2012 for curious foodies. People, even carnivorous ones, can get rather precious about eating the actual cranium of a creature seemingly viewing it as somewhat more barbaric than consuming the rest of the animal.

I’ve unknowingly walked past Paramount many a time while on my way to bustling Oxford Street. Paramount sits in the vicinity of Tottenham Court Road, atop ‘Centre Point’, a building whose imposing and distinguishing height has often made me wonder if inside dwells the lair of a Bond Villain. Such an illusion was continued as my guest and I entered the building to be escorted to the elevator by the receptionist, despite the fact it lay a mere 10 feet away.
