CAESAR FOR HIS VERSION OF THE EMPEROR’S ‘LAST SUPPER’ FEATURE. _‘I decided to make caesars last supper film with many of my own slashing edits and cuts; for a fast paced, high octane and (if


possible in film about a plate of dinner), emotional journey’_ filgate describes._ _ julius caesar’s ‘last supper’ THE LAST MEAL OF ROCK LEGEND JIMI HENDRIX IS BELIEVED TO BE A TUNA


SANDWICH, MADE BY HIS GIRLFRIEND JUST HOURS BEFORE HIS UNTIMELY DEATH._ ‘my jimi hendrix’s last supper film is going to be a little thing, a single shot with just a tiny dose of hendrix in


it’_ filgate says_. ‘what appealed to me was the soundtrack; a piece of non-typical hendrix just the right shape and size to fit a tuna sandwich.’_ [embedded content] the last supper of jimi

AND RAW ORDEAL. _‘I want the food images to feel visceral and grubby. napoleon was a dirty fighter, a revolutionary and an egotist. I love the idea of portraying his last meal as something


dirty; filth amongst the lace and frills of the time, the last meal of a soldier who cares nothing for the pomp and chatter of political life.’_ [embedded content] the last supper of
