l Edinburgh's Cameo Cinema is the place to go to see Quentin Tarantino's new film Django Unchained if you are an old school cinefile.
There are only five 35mm film prints of the new movie (as opposed to digital versions) in the UK, and the Cameo has the only one in Scotland. Nominated for five Oscars and five Baftas and with a pair of Golden Globes already holstered, the film is released tomorrow and the first 500 customers at the Cameo will be given badges testifying they have watched "The Reel Django Unchained."

The link is in the lyrics, which set the words of Shakespeare, including Three Tempestuous Tunes by BBC Young Composer award-winner Alex Woolf. As You Like It: Shakespeare Songs is out now, with Malcolm Martineau at the piano.
