It’s about time there was a proper documentary on maverick comedian Bill Hicks and, going by the reviews, British film-makers Matt Hurlock and Paul Thomas (aided by Hicks’ friends and family) have come up with something that does him justice. Check The Belmont website for screening times.

Film: Erasing David
April 27, 2010
Thursday 29 April | The Belmont Picturehouse | 8.30pm | £7.50 Tickets
This looks great (and slightly frightening), read on, then check the trailer below…
Just how much of our personal information is floating around in government and corporate databases? Filmmaker David Bond decides to find out, by disappearing for a month and setting two of the world’s top private investigators the task of tracking him down, using only publicly available data.
Living in one of the most intrusive surveillance states in the world (yup, the UK), he decides to find out how much private companies and the government know about him by putting himself under surveillance and attempting to disappear – a decision that changes his life forever. Leaving his pregnant wife and young child behind, he is tracked across the database state on a chilling journey that forces him to contemplate the meaning of privacy – and the loss of it.
The screening will be followed by a live-by-satellite debate between David Bond (Director), Michael Nyman (who composed the music for the film), David Davis MP, Phil Booth (NO2ID) and Shami Chakrabarti (Liberty).
“A brilliant new documentary.” – Henry Porter, The Observer
