  • CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS of FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT I Love the August Festivals, Though Not As Much As I Love Cinema
    3 AUG 18 6 SEP 18 1 | 3 AUG 18 - 6 SEP 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT I love the August festivals, though not as much as I love cinema. You? I usually take the opportunity when writing this column every August to grumble about how distracted potential cinema-goers appear to be by the world’s largest arts festival that takes place in our glorious (a word which currently also describes the weather!) city every year, but this year I’m seeing it as nothing more than a challenge. A challenge, dear reader, which I feel we have risen to in impressive style with a stunning array of great cinema, much of which is, as it happens, of a ‘one-off’ nature and will likely not come around again any time soon… That sounds like I’m trying to dragoon you into coming to the cinema in August (instead of going to the Tattoo, perhaps?), and conceivably I am, but try not to see it that way… Rather, I simply wouldn’t want you to miss out on any of the must-see cinema experiences contained within these pages. In any case, cinema is surely the best of all the art forms wouldn’t you say, as well as being one of the cheaper days/nights out? Beyond the form itself, with cinema, you rarely have to worry about not liking a film and it being apparent to the people who made it, because they’re generally not there in the room.

  • 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.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-316-64187-3 — Classical Literature on Screen Martin M. Winkler Frontmatter More Information Classical Literature on Screen Martin M. Winkler argues for a new approach to various creative affinities between ancient verbal and modern visual narratives. He examines screen adaptations of classical epic, tragedy, comedy, myth, and history, exploring, for example, how ancient rhetorical principles regarding the emotions apply to moving images and how Aristotle’s perspective on thrilling plot-turns can recur on screen. He also interprets several popular films, such as 300 and Nero, and analyzes works by international directors, among them Pier Paolo Pasolini (Oedipus Rex, Medea), Jean Cocteau (The Testament of Orpheus), Mai Zetterling (The Girls), Lars von Trier (Medea), Arturo Ripstein (Such Is Life), John Ford (Westerns), Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho), and Spike Lee (Chi-Raq). This book demonstrates the undiminished vitality of classical myth and literature in our visual media, as with screen portrayals of Helen of Troy. It is important for all classicists and for scholars and students of film, literature, and history. martin m. winkler is University Professor and Professor of Classics at George Mason University. His most recent books are Cinema and Classical Texts: Apollo’s New Light (Cambridge, 2009), The Roman Salute: Cinema, History, Ideology (2009), and Arminius the Liberator: Myth and Ideology (2015). He has also published numerous articles, book chapters, and reviews, and edited several essay collections on classical antiquity and film. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-316-64187-3 — Classical Literature on Screen Martin M.

  • Prick up Your Ears: the Biography of Joe Orton Free
    FREE PRICK UP YOUR EARS: THE BIOGRAPHY OF JOE ORTON PDF John Lahr | 320 pages | 02 Sep 2002 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9780747560142 | English | London, United Kingdom Prick Up Your Ears - Wikipedia As IMDb celebrates its 30th birthday, we have six shows to get you ready for those pivotal years of your life Get some streaming picks. Title: Prick Up Your Ears Take a look back at Gary Oldman 's movie career in photos. See more Gary. This movie is the story of the spectacular life and violent death of British playwright Joe Orton Gary Oldman. In his teens, Orton is befriended by the older, more reserved Kenneth Halliwell Alfred Molinaand while the two begin a relationship, it's fairly obvious that it's not all about sex. Orton loves the dangers of bath-houses and liaisons in public restrooms; Halliwell, not as charming or attractive as Orton, doesn't fare so well in those environments. While both long to become writers, it is Orton who achieves fame. His plays "Entertaining Mr. Sloane" and "Loot" become huge hits in London of the sixties, and he's even commissioned to write a screenplay for the Beatles. But Orton's success takes him farther from Halliwell, whose response ended both his life and the life of the up-and-coming playwright. Director Stephen Frears has often picked up interesting subjects for his films. Set in the 60s, this was during the time when 'being gay' in public was considered a criminal offense in parts of UK. Joe Orton is confident, talented, mellow and liked by everyone while his partner Halliwell is comparatively shy and distant and resentful of Joe's success as he claims to be the man behind his partner's success and complains about not receiving enough credit for it.

  • Girlfriends Season at BFI Southbank (20 December 2017)
    Wednesday 20 December 2017, London. The BFI today announces a season of films celebrating the joys and complexities of female friendships. GIRLFRIENDS will run at BFI Southbank from Thursday 1 February – Tuesday 20 March and will include features and shorts from around the world, from the silent era to today. The season showcases portraits of women who are actually three-dimensional and not defined solely by their relationship to men; from the hedonist heroines of Vera Chytilová’s Daisies (1966) and the schoolgirl friendship depicted in Jane Campion’s rarely-seen TV movie 2 Friends (1986), to the endlessly quotable titular characters of Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion (David Mirkin, 1997), these are films that would definitely pass the Bechdel test. With recent events putting gender inequality and issues of female representation into stark focus, this season is a timely celebration of sisterhood, with films that modern woman will relate to. Around twenty features will be screened, most of which will be paired with a short film by an up-and-coming woman filmmaker. More than half the films in the season are directed by women, including Sally Potter, Nicole Holofcener, Claudia Weill and Hollywood pioneer Dorothy Arzner, while almost all of them have a female scriptwriter, presenting audiences with a wealth of female talent both behind and in front of the camera. There will also be a tie-in collection on BFI Player with more than 20 features and shorts on offer, including critically acclaimed Palestinian film In Between (Maysaloun Hamoud, 2016), Sean Baker’s compassionate and frenetic tale of two transgender sex workers Tangerine (2015) and Japanese film Happy Hour (Ryusuke Hamaguchi, 2015), which was a hit on the festival circuit in 2015.

Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films.

Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for. For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film.

Initial showings of it in Stockholm were poorly received, and Zetterling's next production was canceled. It was a "flop," according to the filmmaker, because people did not understand its ironical view (Zetterling 204). In fact, her passionate full-throttle commentary in Flikorna on the subject of women abruptly stalled her career, and she never recuperated the same ability to make films. According to a reviewer at the time of Flikorna's belated international release in 1974, it was too avant-garde for most spectators in 1968, and not appreciated by the few critics who saw it (Lennard 27, Oukrate 108).
