Yesterday's Observer contained a DVD called Beginnings, published by the BFI which included 5 short films made by directors who were just starting out but are now household names. It included films from Ken Russell, Ridley Scott, Shane Meadows and Gurinder Chadha.
There is a continuation of the John Wayne DVD offer this week in the Daily Telegraoh but I think it is voucher which is posted in rather than one that you can collect.
