A Century of Chinese Cinema is programmed in partnership with TIFF as part of Electric Shadows, the Chinese term for film and the name of ǯextensive year-long programme of business, trade, creative and cultural collaborations with China. The season will showcase more than 80 films over the subsequent months, and there are some very exciting events and guests still to be announced. This wide-ranging celebration will also include screenings of classic Chinese films in key cities throughout the UK, a lavishly illustrated new BFI Compendium publication on the history of Chinese cinema, and digital content on the BFI Player of incredibly rare non-fiction films of China from 1901 to 1949 from the BFI National Archive. The Golden Age of Chinese Cinema was defined by the classics of Shanghai cinema from the 1930s and 1940s. Some of the best known films of this era include New Women (Xin Nüxung, 1935) starring Ǯ ǯRuan Lingyu whose tragic early death at the age of 24 led her to become an icon of Chinese cinema, and the musical Street Angel (Malu Tianshi, 1937) ǯ ǤRegarded as the finest work from the first great era of Chinese filmmaking, the exquisite Spring in a Small Town (Xiao Cheng zhi Chun, 1948) was produced prior to the Communist takeover in China and subsequently long suppressed by the regime. It is now seen as a masterpiece and one of the greatest Chinese films ever made. The BFI will release the film in a new digital restoration in selected cinemas nationwide from 20 June. The victory of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949 marked the birth of a radically different nation. A New China follows ǯ and the volatile years leading up to the Cultural Revolution in 1966. One of the major discoveries of this season is Shangrao Concentration Camp (Shangrao Jizhongying, 1951) set in the hellish confines of a Nationalist prison. Dubbed the Ǯ ǯ, The Love Eterne (Liang Shanbo yü Zhu Yuingtai, 1963), a musical, sparked fanaticism amongst audiences and broke box-office records throughout Asia on its release; while The Winter (Dong Nuan, 1968) saw historical epic specialist Li Han-HsianG create a profound, romantic drama that would go on to influence both Hou Hsiao-hsien and Ang Lee. This landmark season continues with Swordsmen, Gangsters and Ghosts in July, New Waves in August, and New Directions in September and early October. This programme was made possible through the co-operation of the China Film Archive, Chinese Taipei Film Archive and Hong KonG Film Archive With the generous support of our season sponsors: With special thanks to Cathay Pacific Airways ProGrammed in partnership with: Messages for Posterity: The Complete Dennis Potter Dennis Potter (17 May 1935 Ȃ 7 June 1994) is generally acknowledged as ǯ and most innovative TV writer.

Tune in, watch, and feel yourself Ǩǯ This month BFI Southbank is proud to launch the definitive guide to Dennis Potter as for the first time ever we begin to screen the entire surviving canon of his work, from 6 June, marking the 20th anniversary of his death. The catalogue of work is so vast that it will be screened in four ǡǡ ǡǮPolitics and Betrayal.ǯ From the deeply personal Potter was able to create universal stories and Ǯ ǯ in the immediate and powerful impact his work had on the viewing public. For Paper Roses (ITV, 1971), Potter drew on his experiences as a Fleet Street journalist, tackling the tabloids, settling old scores and addressing the manufacturing of headlines, while his unsuccessful pursuit of a career in politics left him with inspiration for Stand Up, Nigel Barton and Vote, Vote, Vote for Nigel Barton (both BBC, 1965). Also screening will be Saturday Night Theatre: Lay Down Your Arms (ITV, 1980), in which a Private recruited for British Intelligence battles with the Establishment and challenges patriotism which ultimately leads to betrayal. On Thursday 26 June Mark Ravenhill will offer his thoughts on the legacy of Potter following the documentary: Close Up: Dennis Potter: Under the Skin (BBC, 1998). Prior to this will be Dennis Potter in Edinburgh + Panel Discussion on The Politics of Potter on Thursday 12 June, when, amongst others, Ken Trodd, Peter Flannery and Trevor Griffiths will discuss the Ǯ ǯǡ views on Thatcher and the Murdoch Empire. Coming in July, part two of our Dennis Potter season: The Outsider Inside, featuring the complete Pennies from Heaven and Brimstone & Treacle; and in June 2015: Faith and Redemption, followed by Sex & Death in July The War That Changed Everything: The World Before The War This month marks the start of the ǯct to commemorate The Great War. The first instalment (with parts two and three to follow in June 2016 and June 2018) The World Before the War will look at life in the years before war broke out. The season will provide a broader context to the conflict through films such as The Wedding March (1928), a satire on the greed and hypocrisy of the Viennese bourgeoisie, Liebelei (1933), in which ill-starred love is declared between a young lieutenant and ǯ and Jean Renoirǯ French Cancan (1954), a loving tribute to the Paris painted by his father. The season will also include screenings of key films depicting the period such as The Winslow Boy (1948), Days of Heaven (1978) and The White Ribbon (2009), as well as an Extended Run of ǯ A Farewell to Arms (1932), digitally restored for the centenary and re-released UK-Wide by the BFI. In addition, a special additional programme will bring rare colour footage from Europe and Asia to The Middle East and Africa in On the Eve of War: Around the World in 80 Films. These silent films have been newly restored to share with modern audiences the thrills of globetrotting, like a latter-day Phileas Fogg, prior to 1914. Each compilation will be accompanied by a live piano score, and will transport viewers to a variety of locations: London, New York, Shanghai, Berlin and Paris, as well as remoter regions, where one may witness the site where Livingstone stayed in Victoria Falls during his legendary expedition, a day in the life of a rickshaw boy in Durban, or the camel routes of the Gobi desert in Mongolia and more. This programme will also be available on BFI Player. In June 2016 The Experience of War will focus on feature films and actuality footage which show the realities of war on both sides, marking the centenary of the Battle of the Somme.

    Art for the Apocalypse: Sculpture by Frink in Losey's the Damned

    Art for the Apocalypse: Sculpture by Frink in Losey’s The Damned Susan Felleman1 This essay is a slight revision of Chapter 4 of my book, Real Objects in Unre- al Situations: Modern Art in Fiction Films (Intellect 2014), which concerns the material significance of the art object incorporated into the fiction film. By examining the historical, political, and personal realities that situate the art works, I demonstrate how they can operate as powerful players within films, exceeding the function of mere props, copies, pastiches, or reproduc- tions, as well as how they sometimes remain unrecognized and unappreciated, despite their roles. The book’s interconnected case studies examine particularly meaningful appearances of art in movies, including, in addition to the study of Elisabeth Frink’s work in The Damned (Joseph Lo- sey, 1963), neo-classical sculpture in The Song of Songs (Rouben Mamoulian, 1933) and Pride & Prejudice (Joe Wright, 2005), abstract paint- ing by John Ferren and Paul Jenkins in The Trouble with Harry (Alfred Hitchcock, 1955) and An Unmarried Woman (Paul Mazursky,1978), signifi- cant gallery scenes in Venus vor Gericht (Hans Zerlett, 1941) and Muerte de un Ciclista (Juan Antonio Bardem, 1955), and other salient incorporations. I conclude that when real art enters into fiction films, it often comes to em- body problems, themes and discourses—political, historical, existential, spiritual and sexual—in ways that other objects and actors cannot. * * * * * Every alert citizen of our society realizes, on the basis of his own experience as well as his observation of his fellow-men, that anxiety is a pervasive and profound phenomenon in the middle of the twentieth century.

    Exegesis of the Song of Songs with Comments from the Great American Songbook Robert Case Sunday School Class 2016 Faith Presbyterian Church

    Exegesis of the Song of Songs with comments from The Great American Songbook Robert Case Sunday School Class 2016 Faith Presbyterian Church Part 10 “In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree” In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree is a 1905 popular song written by Harry Williams and Egbert Van Alstyne. It was one of the biggest hits of the early decade. The meter of its chorus is in the form of a limerick. As was fashionable at the time, it as a highly sentimental tune. In the1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, in the scene involving the talking apple trees who become angry with Dorothy for picking apples off them, the strains of this song are heard in the background. The original verses tell the story about a lost love: “In the shade of the old apple tree, Where the love in your eyes I could see, Where the voice that I heard, Like the song of a bird, Seemed to whisper sweet music to me, I could hear the dull buzz of the bee In the blossoms as you said to me, "With a heart that is true, "I'll be waiting for you, In the shade of the old apple tree." Mr. Van Alstyne wrote many popular songs during the early years of the 20th century including “Memories.” A song like this, dripping with sentiment even by early-1900s standards, lent itself to parodies. Popular recording artist, Billy Murray recorded the most popular one. The verse describes him passing by the house of Maggie Jones, a maiden "homelier than me", who asks him to fetch some apples on the promise of giving him one of the pies she plans to bake: “So I climbed up the old apple tree, For a pie was a real thing to me.
  • If She Had Nothing More Than Her Voice She Could Break Your Heart with It

    If She Had Nothing More Than Her Voice She Could Break Your Heart with It

    “If she had nothing more than her voice she could break your heart with it. But she has that beautiful body and the timeless loveliness of her face. It makes no difference how she breaks your heart if she is there to mend it.” - Ernest Hemmingway Any attempt at quantifying what made Marlene Dietrich such an enduring iconic figure over the last 100 years presents the film historian with an immediate quandary. She was not filmdom‟s greatest movie star, nor the stages most prolific chanteuse. Yet she dominated and captivated her audiences both on the screen and in live performance. While others of her generation were in a constant scramble to redevelop their own „image,‟ Dietrich just „was;‟ existing in a vacuum of her own device, and, quite fascinating no matter the venue. At the peak of her career in the mid-1930s, Dietrich was Hollywood‟s highest paid actress; the symbol and very essence of screen eroticism and sexual androgyny. Dietrich‟s own frankness about this tabloid curiosity about her own rumored bi-sexuality was summed up by the great lady with “In America sex is an obsession. In other parts of the world it is a fact!” Like that other luminous European import of her generation – Greta Garbo – Dietrich was more of a presence than mere body; a movement rather than image. She seemed to appear as ageless spirit – supple and pure and free of earthly bonds. If Garbo was the movie‟s sphinx, Dietrich was its haunting enigma; a ravishing creature of immense contradictions – both personal and professional.

    Pre-owned 1920-1950s popular Sheet Music. 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929 Many of these songs have decorative front covers and some from the 1920s and „30s were especially stylish. If a front cover illustration is attributable to an artistor studio they will be named e.g. Heath Robinson, Huntrods, Fred Lowe or Barbelle. Some titles were published during the Second World War (1939 –45), sometimes in a smaller size when ink and paper were in short supply. These pieces of sheet music are secondhand, old and naturally enough, they may show signs of wear and tear. However, most of them are in excellent condition but in a few cases we consider that some damage such as edging tears, a shop stamp, pen marks or a signature are reasonable imperfections considering the age of these manuscripts.
