A low-budget film shot on the Rame Peninsula which has gone on to win major international plaudits is to have its British premiere this week.

The Last Fisherman chronicled what its makers saw as a vanishing way of life as it followed the work of Rame fisherman Malcolm ‘Bumps’ Baker.

Made by producer Leo Kaserer and director James Stier over a seven-year period, on a budget described as ‘more no-budget than low budget’, it was given the Coastal Culture Award at San Franciso’s prestigious International Ocean Film Festival.

Now The Last Fisherman is to be screened at the Plymouth Film Festival, on Saturday, May 27, at 10am.

Describing the film as ‘a beautifully crafted, feature-length documentary created so close to the festival’, the organisers say: ‘It’s a truly inspiring and uplifting story highlighting the impacts of continued globalisation, and about the difference we can make as individuals when we put our passion before capitalism, to preserve the important heritage that has come before us.’

Producer Leo Kaserer will be at the screening and will take part in a short question and answer session.
