OUR PICKS Each month, we give you our top choices from the programme It is with great pleasure that we bring Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust back to UK screens in a new luminous restoration (see p10). Blazing a trail as the first feature by a black woman to receive a national release in the US, Daughters is an elegiac, painterly work and a deeply cinematic meditation on family and forgotten history, and it was met with overwhelming critical acclaim. Today, roots and shoots of change are perhaps to be found with the successes of filmmakers such as Ava DuVernay, Michaela Coel and Amma Asante, but black women directors are still frustratingly rare. This month, our Sight & Sound Deep Focus season, Unbound, hones in on a set of filmmakers who, ‘DON’T MISS like Dash, have taken a sublimely JOHN LANDIS expressive visual approach to INTRODUCING depictions of the black feminine. Please join us and take this rare THIS CULT FILM opportunity to see these poetic FAVOURITE’ stories on the big screen.

Today, The Graduate remains a compelling film worthy of rediscovery, and its position in Hoffman’s career is equally notable. Instead of accepting similar roles, his next performance as Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy confirmed him as a dynamic and versatile actor who refused to be pigeonholed. During this period he worked with some of the greatest English-language directors of the time, hence why all of the films in our two-part season are classics in their own right. As Hoffman approaches his 80th birthday, we celebrate his career and recognise a true, collaborative acting talent.

I can’t make any claims to being a great driver and I’m not even sure you could call me a gearhead (I would struggle to change a flat). However, I am a fan of action cinema in its purest form and the best film car chases are some of the most glorious collisions of sound and image in the art form. Not having had the pleasure of being in any high-speed chases growing up in rural England, I had to get my Route 66 kicks from the movies. This season represents a taster of vehicular heaven that ultimately led me to fulfil the dream of making my own car movie, Baby Driver (see p7 for a preview). Enjoy the glorious carnage about to zoom down the South Bank; I apologise in advance for the smell of burnt rubber.

Roy The French Connection The French Guru Dutt contributed a remarkably rich oeuvre to Indian cinema that continues to stand the test of time, writes Dutt’s biographer and documentary filmmaker Nasreen Munni Kabir Multi-talented director, producer, and actor Guru Dutt is considered among the foremost filmmakers of Indian popular cinema. Although he made only 14 films, from 1951 to his death in 1964, Dutt skilfully succeeded in bringing new meaning, individuality and lyricism to the repetitive ingredients of formulaic Hindi cinema. Fine dialogue, stunning songs and melancholia characterise his work and are especially evident in his black and white classics: Pyaasa, Kaagaz ke Phool and Sahib Bibi aur Ghulam. Time magazine included Pyaasa among the top 100 films of all time; Dutt’s work is on par with the best of world cinema, and he continues to win new admirers the world over. But for all his genius, Guru Dutt’s INDIA complex personality and inner turmoil led to his suicide ON FILM in 1964 at the age of 39.

With the freedom to reflect their own lives, black women filmmakers pioneered their way to an extraordinary cinematic legacy, writes season curator Tega Okiti An unbroken line of influence can be traced back from Beyoncé’s landmark visual album Lemonade to the imprint left on cinema by Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust: a connection highlighting the profound cultural legacy of images created by and about black women. With roots in theatre and activism – and springing from film movements such as the LA Rebellion and the Sankofa Film Collective in the UK – the works in this season are imbued with mesmerising poetic qualities, experimental techniques and a dedication to reflecting the black feminine in all its multitudes. As conversations about black womanhood dominate culture today, from #BlackGirlMagic to Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche declaring ‘we should all be feminists’, Unbound revisits works that have historically been obscured from view, and introduces a new band of pioneers, with stories that are ripe for rediscovery.

Excavating the stories buried within the built environment challenges our view of the past, present and personal, says season curator Matthew Harle This instalment of Broadcasting the Arts explores the rise and fall of Britain’s post-war spatial imagination, as seen through the BFI’s television archive. It features films that document the lost futures of the 1960s, critique the vilification of modernist tower blocks, and draw intimate portraits of the key thinkers, designers and writers that have shaped our experience of cities. The season reveals contrasting sides of the same story: it celebrates the experimental spirit and ambition behind the modern movement, and considers its reverse – the contested legacy of postwar city planning and the people who were left behind. This is an investigation into visionaries and their interpreters, from principle figures of the architectural modernism like Le Corbusier and Buckminster Fuller, to its most imaginative critics: Jonathan Meades, Stuart Hall and John Berger.
