  • 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.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Gays and Film
    LGBT Study, Research & Learning ●Arts & Media ●Business, Education & Law ●Computing & Science ●Health Sciences GAYS AND FILM Gay representation has been a part of cinema since the 1910s, and attempted to make ‘visible the invisible’. The British 1960s ‘kitchen-sink’ realist films were some of the first examples to actively explore homosexuality as a ‘social problem’. The gritty ‘real’ life backdrop of Victim (1961), A Taste of Honey (1961) and The Leather Boys (1963) served as a reminder of the difficulties many gay men faced in ‘coming out’ and being accepted in the ‘swinging sixties’. These films sought to educate audiences about society’s issues and bring about change. Victim (1961) was a suspense thriller film that explored the blackmailing of gay men. It starred actor Dirk Bogarde as a married barrister struggling with his sexuality, and was the first British film to use the word ‘homosexual’. It changed the public’s perception and attitude towards homosexuality, and has been cited as having an impact upon the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967. In contrast, The Leather Boys (1963) based on the book by Gillian Freeman (writing as Eliot George) was about the relationship between two bikers Dick and Reggie. The social realist tradition continues more recently in films like Pride (2014) based upon the Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) 1984-85 movement and their work in the Dulais Welsh mining community during the UK Miners’ Strike. The ‘Pits and Perverts’ Electric Ballroom benefit gig was documented in the film. GAY HISTORY & SCANDALS Gay history documents a number of scandals in newspapers which offered some particularly negative representations.

    Hello and welcome to the second progress report for the festival. We have a great guest line-up and the programme is being finalised as we speak. Can’t say too much at this stage, but it’s going to be another corker. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, our previously announced guest, George Hilton, will be unable to attend. Guests We are pleased to announce that the following guests have confirmed that they can attend (subject to work commitments). Peter Wyngarde Lone Flemming Camille Keaton Jenny Hanley Carlotta Morelli Ruggero Deodato Please Note: The hotel is releasing all rooms held, so please, if you have not done so already, book your room to avoid disappointment. Rooms are still available at the Ibis, just around the corner but these are expected to be booked up soon. 1 Welcome to the Festival : Once again the Festival approaches and as always it is great looking forward to meeting old friends again and talking films. The main topic of conversation so far this year seems to be the imminent arrival of some more classic Hammer films on Blu Ray, at long last. Like so many of you, I am very much looking forward to these and it is fortuitous that this year Jenny Hanley is making a return visit to our festival, just as her Hammer magnum opus with Christopher Lee and Dennis Waterman, Scars of Dracula is on the list of new blu rays being released. I am having to face the inevitable question of how much longer I can go on, but that is not your problem.
