The drinks are lined up, the music's being cranked up... We may be too young to die, but we're not too old to rock and roll. Tomorrow's 10th edition of the legendary Moving Pictures party will take place, as ever, at the devastatingly beautiful Chateau de la Napoule.

Previous events have included a huge bash on a Russian spy ship from the Black Sea Fleet, a concert by the Leningrad Cowboys and the Russian Red Army choir, and a mega drag-queen show by the cast of Francesca Page. The party sponsors this year are London-based Bonded Services along with Love Jam and Movie Movement 2000. The drinks come courtesy of Jose Cuervo, Perrier, Sol/Dos Equis and Campari.

* In a surreal conjunction at Cannes, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, you may have heard NATO bombers returning from a mission in Yugoslavia. Well, Stuart Urban has also been buzzing the town, having just written - with Harold Pinter - the first British TV programme to come out against NATO in its war with Yuglosavia.

Entitled Against The War, it was penned over 12 days, directed by Urban and is presented by Pinter. The BBC/Cyclops Vision was obviously polemical, but it was also well received, Urban tells us.

"While most controversial BBC programmes might receive 50 complaints, this one resulted in several hundred calls and letters, but they were overwhelmingly in support," he says. Against The War attacked the NATO action on moral and practical grounds and delivered a scathing analysis of US policy in the Balkans and Near East. Major news item on Russian TV, the programme is currying sales interest in Italy, Germany and the US, according to Urban, who is now writing a feature-film screenplay, The Imperfect Spy, about real-life paedophile and spy Geoffrey Prime, to be produced by Robert Cooper for BBC, Northern Ireland.
