Appearing on the UK Indies stand http://www.ukindies.co.uk/, and with the help of Scottish Development International, Michael Groves will be looking for archive owners, channels and co-production partners.

Trading with the Far West
Having produced a series of Moving Conversations at the Edinburgh Fringe a few years back, I am bringing my 'intelligent entertainment' format to the 2011 Edinburgh International Festival. www.eif.co.uk/trading From popular culture to the altar of high art - Moving Conversations knows no bounds!
In line with the theme of EIF 2011 - To the Far West - we are bringing together business gurus to discuss the rich tradition of trading links between Scotland and Asia. As well as a Director of HSBC [yet to be confirmed], the line-up for Trading with the Far West includes:
Ian Ritchie CBE - technology entrepreneur and mentor to many Scottish start-ups.
Michael Ward - a Scottish expat Bollywood film producer! Planning a full length feature of The Far Pavilions.
Professor Catherine Schenk - expert on the history of Chinese financial services and chronicler of the rise of HSBC.
John Callaghan - CEO of pt Hero, Indonesia's biggest supermarket chain and part of the Jardine Matheson trading empire.
As it is a Moving Conversation, each panellist will come armed with an entertaining clip from the Scottish Screen Archive http://ssa.nls.uk/ around which they will build a compelling argument. It promises to be entertaining and enlightening - worth seeing for its unique historical value, let alone the views of a diverse and engaging panel.
Trading with the Far West is a one off show at The Filmhouse, Edinburgh, 2.30pm on Friday 19th August. We are in Screen 2, which seats 100 - so book early! Tickets are available at £6 through http://www.eif.co.uk/, the Hub or Filmhouse box offices, from 2nd April.
