What a fantastic night! Wonderfully comfortable cinema, huge screen, great projection, excellent sound and an outstanding array of guests on the panel. Gareth Evans launched the evening with a superb dynamic and entertaining introduction, setting the bar high, and the audience were not disappointed.

A truly remarkable film that shows how much can be achieved with so little. Booth’s eye-opening documentary is about a centre in India which provides free prosthetic limbs for the many people, largely the poorest in society, who have lost one or both limbs. Together these films highlight that creative thinking and a will to change can actually change the world. Together, this Clydeside phoenix and half century old film encapsulate the same philosophies, skills, inventiveness and the sheer joy of passion, creativity and living life to the fullest, showing the limitless realities of sustainable living and a superb example of a way forward which sends a powerful message proving what can be achieved with so little when dedication is no stranger and the imagination knows no bounds.

The Moon and the Sledgehammer was produced and distributed by Vaughan, a well-known and much loved entrepreneur of the film scene, who had a unique flair for publicity.
