For us, it's been a passion project of ours, and an incredibly challenging show to make.

You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, and imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of a competence.

Abbie HoffmanThere are some films that arrive here from the international festival circuit almost incandescent with self-importance. They hover into the cinema in a kind of floating trance at how challenging and moving they are. They are films with a profound reluctance to get over themselves.

One such is Babel.

That's just the wrong venue".
