Jarvis isn't the first and only member of Pulp to be involved with the London Film Festival. For the best part of a decade, guitarist Mark Webber has been curating the artist and and avant garde strand of the festival, Experimenta, and yet receives very little or no publicity for it outside of the industry, which I think is very unfair.
