This site has been a suprising success, hits approaching 1000 within three weeks of its creation (now ticking over at about 300-400 hits per day, which isn’t exactly Kryptonite to the mass media machine but I’m sure enjoying having you guys along for my ride into the internet free-media cosmos) .

Initially it was just a way of me keeping track of all the documentaries I wanted to watch. After a short while I thought that perhaps I could provide a kind of online documentary channel, a library of radical and educational film-making. I’m currently wrestling with the design/layout limitations of not hosting the site myself (though my design skills are admittedly poor!). I hope to sort this out in the next few months and make the whole thing a bit slicker and easier to use, as well as adding many new features (such as a ratings system, etc.).

I highly recommend Wordpress, a wonderful piece of software.

Any encouragement is more than welcome as it keeps me going and adding to the site! Currently I’m not sure how many hits are returners or just new viewers. Unfortunately, I’m unable to track how many of these films are actually watched, just the hits on the pages, so please feel encouraged to leave comments on the films if you are inclined/have the time. It would be great if we could create a forum for lively debate and further recommendation here.

Thanks for visiting radicalfilms.co.uk

Peace, education, happiness.

To all the film makers, movers and shakers in the internet realm, and the great and diverse human race for all their passion and realisation during each and every one of their short lives. Also to Jenna Norwood and Mickey Grant and Tim Sparkes, among others, for making my day commenting on this site (being pretty big guns in the film scene). Also to Adrian Connock and Callum Douglas for doing their own thing, really kicking some proper butt, and for the pleasure of having met them. Finally, but probably most of all, my friends who have shared, contributed, and discussed these films with me. Awesome.
