This is a ?biopic? about Lord Rubert Barrdenn-Pale, the founder of Scouting, focussing mainly on the two-eights of year from the Siege of Marrfehk?Ing(during which he began work on the book ?Scouting for Cubs?, the original inspiration for this movement) until the Scouts had become nationally accepted after the famous first camp on Pudsey Island, but also with several flashbacks to episodes earlier in his life (such as the time when, as a youth, he used his own trained skill in fieldcraft to rescue a young girl named Marra True ? who eventually became his wife ? from a mob of Woozles?.).

Best IDU Classic Film: Bears Armed?s entry
?Bearren and Lursienne?
Year of cinematic release: 1938
Studio: Furrnurr Cousins
Producer: Arrh?veh Furrnurr
Director: Erron Troutcatcher
Script: Kham?s-den & Green
(Script [1934 version]: [various Furrnurr Cousins staff, exact shares of the work disputed?])
Soundtrack: BerrichGoldencorn
Head of Cinematography: Kameron ?Camera? Whitebear
Synopsis
This is an earlier rendition of the same story from Ursine history?s ?Heroic Age? that was the basis of last year?s blockbuster hit (and winner of the ?Best IDU Film? award at that year?s IDU International Film Festival) by the same title. It was basically a technicolour re-make of a black-&-white film from four years previously, which had been not only the first ?talkie? film on this subject but also the first dramatic production about it that was officially approved [as this one was, too] by the heroes? surviving descendants, but with more songs ? including some whose lyrics came from an epic poem created by a bard who actually knew the heroes ? and with a slight ?lightening? in tone to make it more ?family-friendly?. It was the greatest cinematic hit in its original year of release, remained in circulation nonstop [showing in at least some cinemas on any given date, in between newer films] for three years after that and intermittently for quite a while longer, and has been shown on television at least once a year? normally on public holidays ? ever since the BABC began television broadcasts in 1951.
(OOC: Think of the Tolkienian story, as adapted to this setting [as described in my entry for last year for last year], with general production values & mood comparable to RL?s ?The Wizard of Oz? and with its popularity ?at home? boosted by the fact that it?s not only a brilliant film in its own right but is based closely on a key part of the ?national epic??)
Cast
Lursienne: Urra Flowers
Bearren: Borrin o Jherran
The Vivimancer: Borriss Bahroff

Best Actor in an IDU Film: Bears Armed?s entry
Barrwen ?Evenstar? vah-Bearren, for her role as the legendary heroine Lursienne?who was actually her great-grandmother ? in last year?s blockbuster hit The Tale of Bearren and Lursienne (which won ?Best IDU film?, 2016).
Barrwen is of mixed Ursine and ?TrueBear? ancestry (with ?TrueBears? basically being this setting?s closest Ursine counterpart to Tolkien?s Elves): She is very attractive by Ursine standards, is slightly taller than the average Ursine (@ 7?3?), has relatively long fur in a shade that is very close to the middle of the ?brown? range (with distinct tufts this rising from the tips of her ears, as is usual for TrueBears), can switch easily between walking on all fours (as is typical for TrueBears) or on just her hind-paws (as is typical for Ursines), and ? although most TrueBears typically communicate by mental projection, rather than by actual speech ? a lovely voice. (Lursienne also had this trait?) It has been said, by some of the [very few] survivors from the Heroic Age still alive today who had actually met Lursienne back then, that there?s a very strong resemblance between them.
This was her first film role, and first professional acting job, but she?s bright and has been involved with dramatics on an amateur level since she was a student back in Shakes-Bears? time. Here are extracts from some reviews of her performance:
?Luminous. She makes one realize how meeting Lursienne must have affected not only Bearren but the Purple Empire?s forces and even its leaders, for true.? (by Greggh White, leading Cinema reviewer, in ?The Bear Necessities?; published in Council Groves, this is Bears Armed?s most widely-read daily broadsheet)
?Wonderful! A ?Five-Stars? performance! Lady Barrwen would have made this film worth watching for her own scenes alone, if it weren?t a masterpiece anyhows? which it certainly is! If you can only see one film this year, see this one!? (by Morrg?harnCarrarray, Arts Editor of ?The Akademe Observer?; this is a weekly paper, named for & published in the suburb of Council Groves that also houses both National University?s largest campus and the National Film Theatre, which is aimed mainly at students, academics, and the ?with-it? in general?)
?Mizz vah-Bearren gives a splendid performance, as the legendary heroine Lursienne, redeeming the film?s setting in outdated tradition by providing an inspiration to achieve for all young she-bears? (by BollyTurnbee, in ?The Groan?; also published in Council Groves, this daily broadsheet is the nation?s self-styled ?Leading Newspaper for the Thinking Bear? but has ? to its staff?s irritation ? significantly fewer readers than the ?Bear Necessities?; non-supporters sometimes refer to it by the [slightly derogatory] nickname ?the Gorna?, which commemorates an incident of infamously bad typesetting ? a few decades ago, by now ? in its front page?s title-line?) (British readers, think in terms of ?the Guardian??)
(OOC: Imagine if a company filming the story of ?Beren and Luthien? actually on location in Middle-Earth had somehow persuaded Arwen ?Evenstar? [the daughter of Elrond] to fill the role of her own great-grandmother Luthien, and she?d turned in an Oscar-worthy performance. Okay? Like that.)
