  • Imagine... John Mortimer
    john mortimer owning up at 80 john mortimer owning up at 80 In the year he celebrates his 80th birthday, John Mortimer, the barrister turned author who became a household name with the creation of his popular drama Rumpole of the Bailey, is about to publish his latest book, Where There’s a Will. Imagine captures him pondering on life and offering advice to his children, grandchildren and in his own words “anyone who’ll listen”. John Mortimer’s wit and love of life shines through in this reflection on his life and career.The film eavesdrops on his 80th birthday celebrations, visits his childhood home – where he still lives today – and goes to his old law chambers.There are interviews with the people who know him best, including Richard Eyre, Jeremy Paxman, Kathy Lette, Leslie Phillips and Geoffrey Robertson QC. Imagine looks at the extraordinary influence Mortimer has had on the legal system in the UK.As a civil rights campaigner and defender par excellence in some of the most high-profile, inflammatory trials ever in the UK – such as the Oz trial and the Gay News case – he brought about fundamental changes at the heart of British law. His experience in the courts informs all of Mortimer’s writing, from plays, novels and articles to the infamous Rumpole of the Bailey, whose central character became a compelling mouthpiece for Mortimer’s liberal political views. Imagine looks at the great man of law, political campaigner, wit, gentleman, actor, ladies’ man and champagne socialist who captured the hearts of the British public..

  • THE INNOCENTS Directed by Jack Clayton UK­US, 1961, 100 Mins, Cert 12A
    THE INNOCENTS Directed by Jack Clayton UK­US, 1961, 100 mins, Cert 12A Starring Deborah Kerr, Peter Wyngarde, Michael Redgrave Martin Stephens, Pamela Franklin Opening on 13 December 2013 at BFI Southbank, IFI Dublin, QFT Belfast & selected cinemas nationwide 24 October 2013 – The second of three films to be released by the BFI in cinemas nationwide as part of GOTHIC: The DarK Heart of Film is Jack Clayton’s 1961 feature The Innocents, now widely considered to be one of the greatest of all cinematic tales of terror. This celebrated adaptation of Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw (1898) was scripted by William Archibald (whose play of the book had been on Broadway) and Truman Capote, with additional scenes and dialogue by John Mortimer. A brilliant exercise in psychological horror, The Innocents tells of an impressionable and repressed governess, Miss Giddens (Deborah Kerr), who agrees to tutor two orphaned children, Miles (Martin Stephens) and Flora (Pamela Franklin). On arrival at Bly House, she becomes convinced that the children are possessed by the perverse spirits of former governess Miss Jessel (Clytie Jessop) and her Heathcliff­like lover Quint (Peter Wyngarde), who both met with mysterious deaths. The sinister atmosphere of The Innocents is carefully created – not through shocK tactics – but through its cinematography, soundtrack, and decor: Freddie Francis’ beautiful CinemaScope photography, with its eerily indistinct long shots and mysterious manifestations at the edges of the frame; Georges Auric’s eVocative and spooky soundtrack; and the grand yet decaying Bly House, with spiders crawling from dilapidated statues, ants from the eyes of dolls, and rooms coVered in dust sheets.

  • Professor Robert Beveridge FRSA, University of Sassari
    Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee Scotland’s Screen Sector Written submission from Professor Robert Beveridge FRSA, University of Sassari 1. Introduction While it is important that the Scottish Parliament continues to investigate and monitor the state of the creative and screen industries in Scotland, the time has surely come for action rather than continued deliberation(s) The time has surely come when we need to stop having endless working parties and spending money on consultants trying to work out what to do. Remember the ‘Yes Minister’ Law of Inverse Relevance ‘ ‘The less you intend to do about something, the more you have to keep talking about it ‘ ‘Yes Minister’ Episode 1: Open Government Therefore, please note that we already know what to do. That is: 1.1 - Appoint the right people with the vision leadership and energy to succeed. 1.2 - Provide a positive legislative/strategic/policy framework for support. 1.3 - Provide better budgets and funding for investment and/or leverage for the same. (You already have access to the data on existing funding for projects and programmes of all kinds. If the Scottish Government wishes to help to improve performance in the screen sector, there will need to be a step change in investment. There is widespread agreement that more is needed.) 1.4 Give them space to get on with it. That is what happened with the National Theatre of Scotland. This is what happened with MG Alba. Both signal success stories. Do likewise with the Screen Industries in Scotland 2. Context Some ten years ago the Scottish Government established the Scottish Broadcasting Commission.

  • Northern Italy: the Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy 2021
    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: In my mind, nothing is more idyllic than the mountainous landscapes and rural villages of Alpine Europe. To immerse myself in their pastoral traditions and everyday life, I love to explore rural communities like Teglio, a small village nestled in the Valtellina Valley. You’ll see what I mean when you experience A Day in the Life of a small, family-run farm here where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the owner, walk the grounds, lend a hand with the daily farm chores, and share a traditional meal with your hosts in the farmhouse. You’ll also get a taste for some of the other crafts in the Valley when you visit a locally-owned goat cheese producer and a water-powered mill. But the most moving stories of all were the ones I heard directly from the local people I met. You’ll meet them, too, and hear their personal experiences during a conversation with two political refugeees at a local café in Milan to discuss the deeply divisive issue of immigration in Italy.

  • Anatomia De Um Crime – 1959
    Anatomia de um crime – 1959 Título original: Anatomy of a Murder Realizador/Produtor: Otto Preminger Argumento: Adaptação do livro de Robert Traver - pseudónimo de J. D. Voelker, juiz do Supremo Tribunal do Michigan Actores principais: James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, Arthur O'Connell, Eve Arden; George C. Scott Música: Duke Ellington Local das filmagens: Michigan's Upper Peninsula Resumo P. Bigler, advogado de uma pequena cidade, solteirão e na fase descendente da carreira aceita defender Manion, official do exército, acusado do ter assassinado o proprietário de um bar local. Manion admite ter cometido o crime mas levado por um “impulso irresistível” logo após ter ouvido a confissão/juramento da mulher que fora vitima de violação pelo proprietário do bar. O argumento do “impulso irresistível” constituirá a peça principal da estratégica de defesa de P. Biegler, mas depara com a feroz oposição tanto do representante do Ministério Público local (prosecutor) como de um famoso colega de profissão junto do tribunal superior do respectivo círculo. O escândalo da linguagem relativa ao acto de violação e a música de Duke Ellington ajudaram à celebrização do filme que se tornou um clássico dos filmes habitualmente classificados como filmes de tribunal (trial films). Aliás, o filme ainda hoje é utilizado no apoio didáctico à cadeira de direito penal das faculdades de direito de quase todo o mundo. A crítica Intercourse. Contraceptive. Spermatogenesis. Sexual climax. Panties. These were not the sort of words movie theatre audiences were used to hearing on the screen in 1959 but director Otto Preminger changed all that with his controversial courtroom drama, Anatomy of a Murder.

  • Early Reception of Brian Friel's Philadelphia, Here I Come!
    Universal or Provincial? : Early Reception of... 23 UNIVERSAL OR PROVINCIAL? : EARLY RECEPTION OF BRIAN FRIEL’S PHILADELPHIA, HERE I COME! Peter James Harris Universidade Estadual Paulista, São José do Rio Preto Abstract: This article, part of a larger research work that resulted in a Professorship Thesis, presents a survey and evaluation of the early reception of one of Brian Friel’s first plays: Philadelphia, Here I Come! (1964). The article also explores the question of emigration from Ireland in the 1950s and 1960s, considering British legislation on the matter, and comments on the eventual influence such issue, among other factors, may have had on criticism about the performance of the play at the time. KeywordsKeywords: Irish theatre, Brian Friel, Philadelphia, Here I Come!, emigration, reception, Britain. A significant number of Brian Friel’s plays have been situated in the fictional town of Baile Beag, in the county of Donegal. In his Introduction to Friel’s Selected Plays, Seamus Deane explained that the characteristics of this fictional setting are a fusion of the two environments in which Friel grew up, “the socially depressed and politically dislocated world of Derry and the haunting attraction of the lonely landscapes and traditional mores of rural Donegal” (12). Ilha do Desterro Florianópolis nº 58 p. 023-051 jan/jun. 2010 24 Peter James Harris The name, anglicised as Ballybeg, means “small town” in Irish, and bears two connotations. On the one hand, just like the title of the play Our Town (1938), by the American dramatist Thornton Wilder (1897- 1975), the name represents a generalisation, the notion that this town could be each and every small town in Ireland.
