With , Maria Schneider, screening dates to choose from , . 126min. Digital. 12A. A BFI release (see pull-out calendar) Jack Nicholson is excellent as a burnt-out political correspondent in what is one of Antonioni’s greatest achievements When David Locke (Nicholson) impulsively exchanges identities with a businessman he finds dead in a North African hotel room, he believes he’s starting anew. But passing himself off as someone else doesn’t mean he’s escaping the past... Working from a superb script by Mark Peploe and , Antonioni creates some of his most memorable scenes and eloquent images: Locke breaking down in the Sahara; soliciting help from a tourist (Schneider) in Gaudi’s Barcelona; trying to evade various people pursuing him through the arid landscapes of southern Spain. Suspense, intrigue, wit, visual beauty, ideas: this classic has them all in spades. Geoff Andrew, Programmer-at-large

Meet the maverick producer-director whose vision and ambition transformed British cinema, writes season programmer Josephine Botting Alexander Korda was the first filmmaker to earn international acclaim for British cinema and challenge the dominance of Hollywood. As a charming but reckless wheeler-dealer, his profligacy was legendary and he was as creative with ideas as he was with finance. Korda pushed the boundaries of British filmmaking with his bold and quixotic approach, from erecting sumptuous sets at his Denham studio to shooting in colour in far-flung locations. A Hungarian émigré himself, he employed creative talent from all over Europe and his films testify to his skill at bringing together wonderful actors and artists, both literary and visual. Knighted in 1942 for his services to the industry, Korda was at his most inspired during the , directing lavish biopics and producing visionary sci-fi films, elegant romantic and extravagant fantasies.

With over 100 hilarious Laurel and Hardy shorts and features, the challenge in putting together this season is that they’re just too good, says Lead Programmer Justin Johnson Our Comedy Genius season draws to a close with this rare opportunity to focus on the greatest comedy duo of all time, and Oliver Hardy – a dream partnership that united a disciplined, thoughtful Englishman from in the Lake District and a pompous but likeable American from Harlem, . Both worked for producer and his studio independently until he brought them together. He managed their very successful transition from silents to talkies right up until 1940 when, feeling creatively stifled, they left. Their output with Roach represents their best work – and in this season we concentrate on that period.
