Meet Joan Crawford, the self-styled star, invites season programmer Anna Bogutskaya Joan Crawford is remembered as one of the great beauties of the silver screen, and as a socialite whose complicated personal life often distracted from her talent as an actor. She had a nose for what the public wanted, and adapted her physical appearance, acting style and persona to ensure continuing success. From her early years as a during the silent era to her middle-age and late-career genre resurgence, she was a cinematic chameleon who always dominated the screen with her formidable presence. In the first part of our two-month retrospective, we look at Crawford as a STAR – with all caps.

Like all first-rate writers, Pinter has mapped out his own country with its distinctive topography, writes Pinter I biographer Michael Billington Harold Pinter, from the beginning, was fascinated by power, but in the final part of this season commemorating the 10th anniversary of his death, we see how a preoccupation N with memory was combined with an increasing political engagement. Following his work on the unfilmed Proust Screenplay in 1972, Pinter became evermore intrigued with the omnipresence of the past and our ability to re-invent it according to the needs of the moment. At the same time, T events such as the military coup in Chile in 1973 led to the re-activation of his political conscience. Pinter was anxious to be seen as a citizen of the world as well as a playwright, and this is reflected in his later work for theatre, film and TV, as well as in his momentous Nobel lecture, which brings the E season to a fitting climax.

The UK is envied across the world for its high-quality animated TV shows. Programmers Justin Johnson and Jez Stewart present a month of children’s animation Much of our focus so far has concentrated on work made by independent pioneers or experimental artists, so this month we look at an area more commonly associated with quality British animation: animation for children, and in particular for TV. As well as having a nostalgia moment as we revisit the great work of stop-motion director Ivor Wood – who produced many beloved shows such as and – we also look at the companies who have taken Wood’s baton to ensure a new generation are well served. Karrot Animation, Blue Zoo and Studio AKA are just three of many UK animation studios thriving in this area.
