Sean Baker’s The Florida Project Angela Dalle Vacche* Published: July 12, 2018 Many neorealist films included children: for example, Bruno (Enzo Stajola) in Vittorio DeSica’s Ladri di Bici- clette (1948) or the half-naked infant crying desperately towards the end of Roberto Rossellini’s last episode for Paisa (1946) which was set in the marshes of the Po Valley. The postwar period was the great season of casting non-professional actors, and especially very young children due to their notorious lack of self-consciousness in front of the camera. During the 2017 New York Film Festival, the most refreshing film was Sean Baker’s The Florida Project, a history of children from homeless and fatherless families living with their destitute mothers on the margins of Disney World in Florida. Shot in real locations, Baker’s The Florida Project unfolds in one long-term rental motels in Kissimmee, east of Eden Route 192.

The rest is advertising.” – Pauline Kael “Good films by real filmmakers aren’t made to be decoded, consumed or instantly comprehended.” – Martin Scorsese “Firms and aggregators have set a tone that is hostile to serious filmmakers, suggesting that they have conditioned viewers to be less interested in complex offerings.” – Martin Scorsese Weiss 3 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my reader, Professor James Morrison for his continued mentorship and support over the last four years which has greatly improved my film knowledge and writing.

The children’s summer break is filled with wonder, mischief and adventure while the adults around them struggle with hard times. Throughout the United States, budget motels have become a last refuge for people who have found themselves unable to secure a permanent residence. A growing “hidden homeless” population, 41% of which is composed of families, struggles week to week in order to keep a roof over their heads. Our story takes place just outside of Orlando, the vacation capital of the world and home to “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” Along the main highway that runs through the land of theme parks and resorts, budget motels that once attracted tourists by exploiting the Disney mystique, now house homeless families. Moonee and her twenty-two year old mother, Halley, live at one such establishment — The Magic Castle Motel. The closest thing Moonee has to a father is Bobby, the motel’s manager, a guarded and diligent man who is taunted by the children’s antics. Halley has lost her job and a new girl the same age as Moonee has moved in at the motel next door - it's going to be an eventful summer.

It is certainly not exhaustive T in its content listing, and instead represents an easy to read and locate guide to the wealth of potential titles readily available to play in UK cinemas once they reopen in the coming weeks. Highlighted filmed content has been separated into groups, by genre, theme, flavour or audience demographic, which should hopefully aid programme planning and decision making as cinemas get themselves back up to operational speed. With something for everyone, the 450 amassed titles may feature in more than one category, and further content is also likely available upon request and interaction with individual distributors. Each title here has information on running time and certificate, plus any additional format detail. Distributors are also listed for each title, and at the back of the document there is an easy to use, full list of distribution direct sales contacts split by company. This collection of content has been compiled from many of the UK’s distribution companies under the aegis of FDA, and it forms part of the unified sector business recovery planning currently being undertaken by both FDA and UKCA, via the cross-industry body, Cinema First.
