Will No Manifesto appear ever?

[everlasting]

What is the most update footage in the film, I know it was completed officially in late 2009 or so, so does this mean it has some TV footage or talk of JFPL in there?

Actually, we filmed numerous shows on the American tour. Some of it is in the film, and more of it will feature in the DVD extras.

Yes, there is coverage of Journal For Plague Lovers in the film.

Oops! Somehow, I got that horribly wrong. Sorry about that.

Good to hear there's been some progress. Keep us all updated, Elizabeth!

Ah, talk of DVD extras, now we're moving along nicely...

A cinema release seems self-defeating at this stage. You're just delaying the DVD profits!

[powernoize]

fantastic news! i'd love to see this released to dvd!

We cannot release the film for free on the Internet not only because of legal issues, but also because we need to recoup at least some small percentage of the money that we have invested in it.

Regarding donations from fans, we are not yet able to mount a crowdfunding campaign because the amount of money we need is still beyond what we could expect to raise through that means. The good news is that we are getting closer to the point at which such a campaign will be more feasible. When it is, the good people of Foreverdelayed.org.uk (and the bad people of it, too! ) will be the first to know.

Thanks as always for your interest.

How much money do you actually need?

I hope the DVD will release soon

So just wondering how the progression is going with No Manifesto? Please let it be released this year somehow!

Yes, that bit where a clip of the band performing Peeled Apples on Jool Holland is shown and the voice over says something to the effect of 'and then they did an album called Journal For Plague Lovers'

Is it seriously like that? Thought there would be a couple of minutes at least and various little clips of them playing JFPL live, I'm picturing a really super quick 7 second mentioning and then it comes up THE END!

That is basically what happens! I think the documentary only covers the period that the film makers had access to the band (i.e. up until the release of Send Away The Tigers) which is fair enough but I think it is universally agreed that Plague Lovers was one of the most significant eras of the band and could have been covered in more detail. Especially considering that the film intends to reflect upon the majority of the band's history.

If I was making the film I would have extended the shoot and got a bit more coverage of the band/fans up until the 02 gig; that event could have served as a significant moment to bookend the story. Plus it would give the film more contemporary resonance and would probably make it easier to sell.

No, it is not like that. Although we do not have coverage of the actual making of Journal For Plague Lovers, along with the clip from Jools Holland we also have our own footage of the band discussing the genesis of the album, from the decision to use to lyrics to how they felt about the process of recording it to the positive critical response that the album received.
