At a recent discussion on the portrayal of war, a panel of artists agreed that it's the intimate details, not the explosions, that count
"And how did you manage to convey the horror of war?" The question came from Philippe Sands QC, possibly the world's cleverest international lawyer, and surely the wittiest. It was directed to Xavier Pick, painter and war artist, who for the previous five minutes had been making quiet jottings in a notebook that never leaves his side. He looked up in surprise. "Oh, I don't try to convey the horror at all," he replied. "I don't see that as my job."
So there we were in the gaudy red Victorian chapel of King's College, London, debating The Art of War – a QC, a painter, a soldier, a broadcaster, a military archivist and me. I earned my seat at the table through Lads in Their Hundreds, a...

It's about time conflict cinema turned towards home, says Stuart Griffiths, the ex-para at the centre of a new documentary on homelessness and the armed forces
A grim-faced man trudges down London's sodium-bathed streets. A soldier bares his tattoos to him in a sterile institutional kitchen. The Brighton Sunday-night crowd, watching, shift in the dark, the aroma of stale beer rising from the seats like forest humidity. The shadow of a guitar head from the band playing the live score slips occasionally on to the side of the screen, as bruised servicemen talk about ambushes and trauma and neglect and grasping for the light.
It's about time conflict cinema turned back towards home, says Stuart Griffiths, the man on the screen, the fulcrum of the new documentary Isolation, about the one-quarter of servicemen who end up sleeping rough when they return. "I'm happy we've dealt with that, because I don't...

3D Film Festival, London
Cameron, your days are numbered. James, that is, not David. This claims to be Britain's first 3D film festival, and there's not a blue-skinned interplanetary saga in sight. Instead, it promises a more Diy strain of stereoscopic action. As enthusiasts have discovered, it's not all that difficult to make your own 3D camera – just strap two regular 2D cameras together and you're ready. Hosted by short film regulars Short & Sweet, this single-night festival promises more in-your-face auteurism from around the world than you can shake a stick out of a screen at.

Greenwich seems to be one of the most cinema-saturated places in the country, what with the O2 and Odeon multiplexes. But this festival ignores all of that and instead brings cinema to the district's other attractions. For example, what better place to see...

Isolation had the opportunity to be a damning indictment of the lack of support members of our armed forces are given when they decide or are forced, by injury, to leave and return to the drastically different lifestyle of civvy street. The problem is the initial message, that one in seven of those who leave the army end up homeless and detached from society at some point after returning to a normal life, is lost midway when the film suddenly shifts focus on to three soldiers who had good support and stable homes but were forced to leave after suffering horrific injuries. The whole exercise is left feeling more like an extended promo for the narrator's photography than a real documentary about a serious issue. The film follows one-time homeless vet turned photographer Stuart Griffiths as he guides us through his story of ending up homeless after leaving the army,...
