In what 22 00 00 44 sometimes feels like a compulsive drive to create the perfect Festival, we add things one place, subtract in another, but mostly we 22 00 00 55 just add. Since our first year in 2000, we have added to our programming, in roughly chronological order: films of topical 22 00 00 66 interest, the extension of Taylor Street Outdoor Movies to Sunday 22 00 00 77 night, Almost Midnight movies, street musicians, Formative Films, the San Francisco-based National Public Radio program West Coast 22 00 00 88 Live!, the First Features sidebar, the continuous-run Drop-In Theatre, the Kids Film Camp, and A Moveable Fest, taking four Festival films 22 00 00 99 to the Historic Lynwood Theatre on Bainbridge Island. For 2006, we're adding two more innovations 22 00 11 00 advanced tickets sales, and 22 00 11 11 the Festival's own trailer. 22 00 11 22 The Festival has often been criticized for relying on passes and last minute "rush" tickets for box 22 00 11 33 office sales, so this year the Festival is selling a limited number of advance tickets for screenings at our largest venue, the Broughton Theatre at the high school. If successful, advance ticket sales will likely be extended to all venues in future years.

"At a deeper level I wanted to explore how the process of projection, whether in the human mind or in the cinema, allows our fantasies to emerge out of light and become real."

This year's Formative Film curator is Robert Osborne, who as a film historian is so associated with classic movies he might as well have coined the term. After struggling to be a film actor with little success, at the suggestion of his mentor Lucille Ball, he turned to his second love: writing about movies. In 1965 he wrote the first of several official histories of the Oscar® at the request of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. He maintains a weekly column in the Hollywood Reporter, but he is best known as the prime-time host of Turner Classic Movies where he delivers his vast and intimate knowledge in introductions before almost every film. Robert has been a long-time friend of the Rose Theatre and the Port Townsend Film Festival, returning this year for the fourth time. Robert was a teenager when he saw what became one of his favorite films, Laura. LL AA UU RR AA Laura, a 1944 film noir, tells the story of a police detective who falls in love with the portrait of a woman who has been murdered.

  • From Free Cinema to British New Wave: a Story of Angry Young Men
    SUPLEMENTO Ideas, I, 1 (2020) 51 From Free Cinema to British New Wave: A Story of Angry Young Men Diego Brodersen* Introduction In February 1956, a group of young film-makers premiered a programme of three documentary films at the National Film Theatre (now the BFI Southbank). Lorenza Mazzetti, Lindsay Anderson, Karel Reisz and Tony Richardson thought at the time that “no film can be too personal”, and vehemently said so in their brief but potent manifesto about Free Cinema. Their documentaries were not only personal, but aimed to show the real working class people in Britain, blending the realistic with the poetic. Three of them would establish themselves as some of the most inventive and irreverent British filmmakers of the 60s, creating iconoclastic works –both in subject matter and in form– such as Saturday Day and Sunday Morning, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and If… Those were the first significant steps of a New British Cinema. They were the Big Screen’s angry young men. What is British cinema? In my opinion, it means many different things. National cinemas are much more than only one idea. I would like to begin this presentation with this question because there have been different genres and types of films in British cinema since the beginning. So, for example, there was a kind of cinema that was very successful, not only in Britain but also in America: the films of the British Empire, the films about the Empire abroad, set in faraway places like India or Egypt. Such films celebrated the glory of the British Empire when the British Empire was almost ending.

  • Lindsay Anderson: Sequence and the Rise of Auteurism in 1950S Britain Erik Hedling
    Lindsay Anderson: Sequence and the rise of auteurism in 1950s Britain erik hedling T an upheaval in European film history. The financial losses of the Europeans, as compared to the Americans on the popular market, caused drastic changes within the European film industries, leading up to the continental government-subsidised film indus- tries of the present. Even if the historical reasons for the changes in Euro- pean film policies were mainly socio-economic, they were at the time mostly discussed and dealt with in aesthetic terms, and we saw eventually the emer- gence of the European art cinema, a new kind of film, specifically aimed at the literate and professional middle classes. One of the most important European contributions to the film history of the 1950s was, thus, undoubtedly the sudden rise of the auteur, the film director extraordinaire and the notion of the authored art film. Sweden had Ingmar Bergman, Italy had, for instance, Fellini, Rossellini, Visconti, and Antonioni, France had the Cahiers du Cinéma generation, towards the end of decade represented by the breakthrough of the nouvelle vague, with Truffaut, Godard, Rohmer and Chabrol. Traditionally, Britain has been said to have missed out on the development of auteurism and art cinema in the 1950s, instead clinging to its traditional industrial policies of trying to (albeit unsuccessfully) compete with the Americans on the popular market. (Peter Wollen’s essay on 1980s British films as ‘The Last New Wave’ is a good illustration of this attitude.)1 Even if this was true for the film industry, it is not entirely so for film culture as a whole, since Britain was at least intel- lectually at the very core of the foundation of the European art cinema in the 1950s, even if the art films as such – in the Bordwellian sense of personal vision, loose narrative structure, ambiguity and various levels of heightened realism – were not really to emerge until the 1960s (perhaps with the exception I was born in the mid-1950s and had my first overwhelming experience of the cinema watching Lindsay Anderson’s If … in 1969.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.
