This focus is merely the springboard for a survey that spirals out to embrace everything from childhood to old age, touching on ‘LEE CHANG- his many creative achievements, his strengths and failings as a man, DONG’S LATEST and the way his art derived from MIXES MYSTERY, his life.

A BFI release (see pull-out calendar) A match made in cinematic heaven: a classic screwball comedy from Preston Sturges complete with dazzling stars Con-artist Jean Harrington (Stanwyck) manipulates her way through life, getting what she wants with skill, charm and charisma. On a cruise she meets Charles ‘Hopsie’ Pike (Fonda), a gullible millionaire and snake scientist, who falls for her in a heartbeat. But then he learns of her past... In one of her most memorable roles, Stanwyck portrays a confident, witty, resourceful woman in pursuit of revenge – and love. The chemistry between Stanwyck and Fonda is electrifying, and with Charles Coburn lending sterling support as Harrington’s partner in crime, this screwball classic – hilarious, wild and romantic – remains one for all best-film lists.

Our tribute to Michelangelo Antonioni continues with his move into international filmmaking – though he still experimented with each new work, writes season curator Geoff Andrew Established, after L’avventura, La notte and L’eclisse, as one of the world’s most adventurous and widely respected filmmakers, Antonioni found he could draw on bigger budgets. Red Desert, his first colour film, was notable for an extraordinary expressionist palette suggestive of psychological torment and environmental malaise. Then, persuaded by producer Carlo Ponti to make English-language films abroad, Antonioni focused – if that term may be used of such loose, delicate, mysterious storylines – on social change, moral uncertainty and personal disillusionment in Britain, America, North Africa and Europe; his curiosity about the effect of politics on everyday life is also evident in his documentary on China. Finally, the later films display his enduring interest in visual and narrative experimentation, alongside a growing fascination with eroticism. Innovation and enigma remained integral to his work to the end.

Join us for a fascinating exploration of scenes from a lost past; the early cinema of Korea, writes season co-curator Kate Taylor-Jones It was once assumed that all pre-1945 Korean cinema had vanished from existence, but in the 2000s a series of remarkable archival discoveries revealed a diverse treasure trove of melodramas, propaganda films and newsreels from the colonial period. We’re delighted to present them for the first time in the UK, thanks to the restoration work of the Korean Film Archive. Here you can learn about the stars, directors and politics of this complex and controversial period in Korean history – a time when the nation was under Japanese occupation. However, rejecting these products as nothing more than colonial propaganda refuses to acknowledge the skills, desires and ambitions of the Korean filmmakers behind them. These are unique creations that, despite their background, are the very origins of contemporary Korean cinema.

Curators Stephen Bourne and Lez Cooke present a selection of groundbreaking black British television dramas from 1961-1985, many of them not seen since they were first broadcast This season showcases the work of some of the most outstanding African and Caribbean writers of their generation, such as Jan Carew, Sylvia Wynter, Barry Reckord, Michael Abbensetts, Jamal Ali, Buchi Emecheta, Caryl Phillips, Mustapha Matura and Trix Worrell, and features pioneering black British actors including Lloyd Reckord, Horace James, Don Warrington, Cleo Sylvestre, Thomas Baptiste, Norman Beaton, Carmen Munroe, Rudolph Walker and Mona Hammond. We also host the first screening since 1961 of a play written for the legendary American entertainer Sammy Davis Jr, in a rare dramatic role. This is an opportunity to rediscover some neglected dramas from the past, appreciate their continuing relevance and participate in a debate about the current and future possibilities for black British drama in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
