NetWork@LFF Shorts Screening PrograMMe 1: AtoMisation & Loss The Studio, BFI Southbank, 12.00-12.45. NETWORK@LFF is an internationally focused talent development programme at the very heart of the BFI London Film Festival, delivered by BFI NETWORK. Now in its sixth year, we’ve selected 12 new UK-based writers, directors and producers to join us for an intensive programme of masterclasses, screenings, events and one-to-ones with industry professionals. This year, we’ve focused on filmmakers telling stories with global ambitions; stories that can be culturally specific whilst resonating internationally. Join us to see a selection of shorts from this year’s selected filmmakers. This programme brings together films that explore the importance of community and companionship through the prism of immigration and bereavement. AnatoMy of a FilM - A Q&A With Tony Grisoni The Studio, BFI Southbank, 13.15-14.15. BAFTA Winner Tony Grisoni is one of the UK's great established film and TV screenwriters with hugely impressive credits ranging from In This World directed by Michael Winterbottom to C4 series, Red Riding Trilogy and Southcliffe; his longstanding film collaboration with Terry Gilliam included the dazzling Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Tideland and LFF2018 Laugh Gala The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. As writer/director, he has also made a number of short films (including BAFTA-nominated Kingsland #1: The Dreamer) and the brand new The Sands of Venus. Using his new short film as a jumping off point, we host a Q&A on his creative process - where do film ideas come from, are there different storytelling ‘muscles’ used for writing and directing, do you ever stop learning, and does it ever get any easier? FilM4 Shorts The Studio, BFI Southbank, 15.00-16.00. A selection of recent Film4 shorts including Naptha, directed by Moin Hussain, which was selected for Critics Week at Cannes Film Festival 2019, Pompeii from directors Harry Lighton, Marco Alessi and Matthew Jacobs Morgan, and Rebecca, the directorial debut from screenwriter Keith Akushie (Fresh Meat, Siblings, The Festival). There will also be a sneak peek at some upcoming Film4 shorts! Film4 is Channel 4 Television’s film division. Film4 develops and co-finances films and is known for working with the most distinctive and innovative talent in UK and international filmmaking, both new and established. In an Age of Consent: A Discussion: The Blue Room. BFI Southbank, 16.00-17.00 In the wake of #MeToo the issue of consent in filmmaking and in the industry has become an urgent topic. The filmmakers in our In An Age of Consent programme tackle the complex issues of consent and here we invite you to join them for a discussion and Q&A around the questions raised in their films around consent, intimacy and sexuality in film. Pitchblack Playback: Fela Kuti – Fela’s London Scene: The Studio, BFI Southbank, 16.30-17.15. Immersive, meditative album listening sessions in the dark. Enjoy classic album playbacks in our Studio screen, picked to complement some of our music film selections. Prepare to experience music with more detail and focus than ever before. Fela Kuti: Fela’s London Scene - Recorded at Abbey Road in London in 1971, this stunning record captures Fela at the beginning of his purple patch of studio recordings. The jazzy, sprawling arrangements will truly come alive at Pitchblack Playback’s free listening session in the dark, which compliments the LFF screening of My Friend Fela. DJ Night: White Riot: BFI Bar & Kitchen, BFI Southbank, 21.00-01.00. DJs Dapper D and Jaybyrd Slim (The Nitty Gritty) play reggae and new wave inspired by the Rock Against Racism movement of the late 70s and early 80s including Steel Pulse, The Clash, Misty In Roots, X-Ray Spex, The Beat, Aswad, The Slits and The Specials. Sunday 6th October FilM CriticisM Read-along: BFI Reuben Library, BFI Southbank, 11.00-12.00. From waxing lyrical on Letterboxd, to reeling off a late-night drunken IMDb review, if everyone’s a critic, who should you be reading? Where’s the good writing at? Hear from some of the most exciting film critics of today on the writing that inspires them, and where to find it. Come with an appetite for wit, critical analysis and sparkling insight, and leave with a free copy of Sight & Sound! Cult in the Canon: The Blue Room. BFI Southbank, 12.00-13.00. Horror is back in vogue amongst filmmakers at LFF this year; just don’t call it ‘Elevated Genre’. Filmmakers can’t keep their hands-off horror this year, with many of your favourite arthouse auteurs using supernatural or sci-fi elements in their films to tell political or very personal stories. Here programmers and podcasters survey the scene, checking on the pulse of cult cinema, and ask what draws filmmakers to the genre? NetWork@LFF Shorts Screening PrograMMe 2: We Are FaMily The Studio, BFI Southbank, 12.00- 13.00.

  • Rose La Rose and the Re-Ownership of American Burlesque, 1935-1972
    TAUGHT IT TO THE TRADE: ROSE LA ROSE AND THE RE-OWNERSHIP OF AMERICAN BURLESQUE, 1935-1972 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Wellman Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Jennifer Schlueter, Advisor Beth Kattelman Joy Reilly Copyright by Elizabeth Wellman 2015 ABSTRACT Declaring burlesque dead has been a habit of the twentieth century. Robert C. Allen quoted an 1890s letter from the first burlesque star of the American stage, Lydia Thompson in Horrible Prettiness: Burlesque and American Culture (1991): “[B]urlesque as she knew it ‘has been retired for a time,’ its glories now ‘merely memories of the stage.’”1 In 1931, Bernard Sobel opined in Burleycue: An Underground History of Burlesque Days, “Alas! You will never get a chance to see one of the real burlesque shows again. They are gone forever…”2 In 1938, The Billboard published an editorial that began, “On every hand the cry is ‘Burlesque is dead.’”3 In fact, burlesque had been declared dead so often that editorials began popping up insisting it could be revived, as Joe Schoenfeld’s 1943 op-ed in Variety did: “[It] may be in a state of putrefaction, but it is a lusty and kicking decomposition.”4 It is this “lusty and kicking decomposition” which characterizes the published history of burlesque. Since its modern inception in the late nineteenth century, American burlesque has both been framed and framed itself within this narrative of degeneration.
