Marco Bellocchio is one of Italy’s most prolific, venerated and versatile filmmakers, whose work is full of intelligence, moral questioning, subtle satire and aesthetic exploration, writes season programmer Adrian Wootton OBE In a career that has now lasted over 50 years, Bellocchio has directed more than two dozen features, plus numerous documentaries and short films. Despite many of his works being justly renowned, such as his outstanding debut , My Mother’s Smile, and Vincere, he still hasn’t had the exposure many of his contemporaries enjoy, and most cinema-goers in the UK are less familiar with his canon. This first UK retrospective of Bellocchio’s work (alongside screenings at Ciné Lumière) aims to redress the balance by presenting all his feature films, and giving audiences an opportunity to delve into this rich, distinctive body of ambitious and beautifully realised movies.

Agnès Varda reflects on artistic practice with her signature playful and experimental approach, writes season programmer Aga Baranowska The final part of our retrospective highlights Varda’s exploration of the creative practice, as she reflects on what it means to be an artist. This is evident in the way she portrays the creative path of her late husband, filmmaker Jacques Demy. Varda also turns the lens on herself – on her role as an artist behind and in front of the camera – and reveals the importance of collaboration to her authorship. She has mastered the cinematic essay and continued to underline the importance of other art forms to her cinema – photography and painting most prominently. And throughout her career, Varda has pioneered new ways of expressing her artistic vision: she began using a digital camera in the early 2000s, and adopted social media more recently (follow Varda on Instagram @agnes.varda).

‘I THINK THAT LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT THE WORLD IS HELL’ P HAROLD PINTER To mark the 10th anniversary of Harold Pinter’s death, BFI Southbank hosts a special season celebrating his major contribution to film, TV and theatre, writes Pinter biographer Michael Billington I ‘Truth in drama,’ said Harold Pinter on receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005, ‘is forever elusive. You never quite find it, but the search for it is compulsive.’ That applies as much to his work for the screen as it does to the stage with which it shares many qualities: a fascination with the private N roots of power, an abiding preoccupation with memory and the deceptiveness of language, a belief in the agency of women. Pinter, from his teenage years when he explored the work of Luis Buñuel, Marcel Carné and Jean Vigo, was always passionately in love with cinema and was proud that the T majority of his screenplays were filmed. He also wrote many pioneering, and highly popular, plays for television. Pinter was a great writer whose work admits us to the dark E room of his imagination.
