TO THE Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge last night, where the Newport Beach Film Festival toasted Brits who’ve made an impression across the pond. Charles Dance was among those to receive an award — between roles, he is an avid climate change campaigner. What does he think of Trump’s dismissal of the issue? “You couldn’t print what I think of Donald Trump,” he replied. “It would be full of absurdities.” of not campaigning strongly enough during the referendum. The heady early days of the Varoufakis/Labour Party romance seem a long way off. Will we ever see the two astride a stage to rapturous applause again?
 
Both Charles Dance and Miranda Richardson played down their enormous talent by attributing their longevity in the profession respectively to ‘luck’ and an ability to ‘just keep trucking’.
Dance also joked that an icon, for him, was a religious thing you find in churches and not something he, a working actor, considered himself. Nevertheless, he said he was flattered, honoured and just a little confused by the accolade. He also voiced what all of us were thinking, ‘why didn’t the organisers invite us to Newport Beach for this ceremony, we’re freezing our arses off here!’
 
 
The 2017 Newport Beach Film Festival came to London once again last night, and the winners were announced as follows:

Charles in the cast of a short film about climate change

Actors Charles Dance and Jason Isaacs are taking a lead in The Climate Coalition's Show the Love campaign this February. They've given their time to star in a short film made by Ridley Scott Associates featuring the poetry of Anthony Anaxagorou and the music of Elbow.  The things we love could change forever due to climate change and that's the message of the video. On this edition of Nature's Voice Jane Markham talks to Fiona Dear from The Climate Change Coalition about the film and campaign and to the RSPB's conservation director Martin Harper about special places under threat.
 
A Bromley junior doctor is to share the limelight with a host of British stars with the release of a new film to raise awareness of climate change.
Tom Jackson, 31, is a member of the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS choir, who were invited to sing the soundtrack for the short film Love Song, which appears in cinemas this week.
The medics joined actors Charles Dance, David Gyasi, Jason Isaacs and Miranda Richardson to create a powerful three-minute film urging the British public to take action against climate change.
The film will be screened in Picturehouse Cinemas across the country from February 10 to 17 and widely across social media.
Most unsatisfactory presenter: me, London Critics’ Circle awards, 2006

The London Critics’ Circle hosts its annual award ceremony in January, often at a swanky hotel. Reviewers are asked to make presentations, and 10 years ago I was one of them, presenting screenwriter of the year to Stephen Frears for The Queen. My memory of the event is that I tried a joke which was received with the same kind of stunned silence that greeted news of Queen Victoria’s death in the House of Commons.
But the most unfortunate part of the evening was that a problem in the kitchen meant that the dinner, but not the wine, was hours late. People were exuberant and convivial, but in an impatient and ill-tempered way. Charles Dance was seated at my table, and, fixing me with his diamond-hard, glittering gaze, asked if I had any connection with the event. “Oh yes,” I said. But my attempt to claim a co-celeb status with Mr Dance was thwarted when he flicked a contemptuous finger at his empty plate and said: “Well, then, perhaps you can tell me what’s happened to the food?”

and about That good night
The Harry Potter star wrapped That Good Night before his death last week, but producers are still scrambling to pull together the finances they need to release the film, which also features another British veteran, Charles Dance.
"The film is in post-production and we have just a small investment slot available for investors before this project is full," a spokesman for the film tells WENN.
Anyone investing in the film will be invited to a private screening of what is Hurt's last film next month (Feb17).
That Good Night is scheduled to be released later this year.
