There are big changes this year with a new projector, sound system and a big screen. The first screening with it will be the marvellously uplifting Caramel on 17th October. Our first two films will use the existing 16mm equipment. See the website to read more about all the films, or to see trailers. All screenings start off with coffee, tea and cake. 19th September 2008: Ginger and Fred Director: Federico Fellini, Italy-France-West Germany 1986, Colour (15) 127 min After a long separation, Amelia (Giuletta Masina) and Pippo (Marcello Mastroianni) are brought together again to appear in an extremely low- brow TV variety show After some crazy goings on, we see them on the stage among a crowd of vulgar would-be celebrities getting ever more lonely and fragile as they are caught in a flood of crass freaks, unable to fight off being relegated to novelty status. One feels their pain and frustration of being trapped in an alien world. Beside a broad critique of television the real theme of the movie is the displacement of the artist once their chosen form is rendered obsolete. 3rd October 2008: Uncle Vanya Director: Andrei Konchalovsky, USSR 1971, Colour (A) 102 min Most of the characters in this 1971 adaptation of Chekhov's play are consumed with lethargy, boredom, and regret over their unsatisfactory lives. They include Vanya himself, an embittered estate manager, Serebryakov, a once-worshipped scholar that Vanya has discovered to be a charlatan, Astrov, the brooding and introspective doctor who is disappointed in love and life, and also the mysterious and beautiful Yelena, Serebryakov’s young second wife. Konchalovsky allows the film to proceed at Chekhov's own pace: the camera, which has the presence of a household intimate, captures the pathos, pain and tragi-comedy of this volatile household. 17th October 2008: Caramel Director: Nadine Labaki, Lebanon 2008, Colour (PG) 95 min Caramel is the most internationally acclaimed Lebanese film to date. A simple but effective story of five Lebanese women tackling binding traditions, forbidden love, repressed sexuality, duty versus desire, and the struggle to accept the natural process of age. Labaki's film is unique for not showcasing a war-ravaged Beirut but rather a warm and inviting exotic locale where people deal with universal issues. The title Caramel refers to an epilation method used in the Middle East that consists of heating sugar, water and lemon juice. In the film Labaki also symbolically implies the "idea of sweet and salt, sweet and sour" as everyday relations can sometimes be, but ultimately the sisterhood shared between the central female characters prevails. “a lovely film. ... it’s lovingly shaped and deeply felt, a happy-sad charmer which deserves a wide audience.” Time Out “A universal treat. Caramel is a subtle delicacy and one to be savored.” Washington Post This is the first screening with our new equipment. Come along for a glass of wine beforehand and celebrate. http://www.caramelmovie.co.uk/ 7th November 2008: Son of Man Director: Mark Dornford-May, South Africa 2006, Colour (12A) 91 min Set in a fictional African Judea, Son of Man is a retelling of the story of Christ by the South African theatre group, Dimpho Di Kopane, who also produced U-Carmen eKhayelitsha. Filmed in a South African township, it is a musical allegory against the background of a brutal civil war. Amid the conflict a child is born to a poor couple. As he grows up, he sets out to save the people from oppression through an ethic of non-violent protest. Amazing to look at and with a powerful soundtrack, Son of Man is a remarkable story of revolution and justice. “A vivid, thrilling, visually awe-inspiring piece of cinema” Daily Telegraph The film will be introduced by Flora Smith, who, together with director Mark Dornford-May, produced the original theatre version. 14th November 2008: Ashes and Diamonds Director: Andrej Wajda, Poland 1959, B&W (12) 109 min On the last day of World War Two in a small town somewhere in Poland, Polish exiles of war and the occupying Soviet forces confront the beginning of a new day and a new Poland. In this incendiary environment we find Home Army soldier Maciek Chelmicki, a youth psychologically deformed by war (played by the ‘European James Dean’, Zbigniew Cybulski), has been ordered to assassinate an incoming commissar. But a mistake stalls his progress and leads him to Krystyna, a beautiful barmaid who gives him a glimpse of what his life could be. Gorgeously photographed and brilliantly performed, Ashes and Diamonds masterfully interweaves the fate of a nation with that of one man, resulting in one of the most important Polish films of all time. Wajda’s film displays a deep understanding and human sympathy with both sides, or rather for the people on both sides who are inspired by honest motives. 28th November 2008, 7.30pm: Andrei Rublev Director: Andrei Tarkovsky, USSR 1973, B&W/Colour (12) 182 min Widely regarded as Tarkovsky's finest film, Andrei Rublev charts the life of this icon painter in eight imaginary episodes through a violent period of fifteenth century Russia. Reduced to silence by the horrors he witnesses under the Tartar invasion, the Christ-like visionary monk finally regains the will to speak and paint, and the film ends in a stunning montage of Rublev's surviving icons. Note early start time. 13th December 2008, 2.30pm: The Muppets Take Manhattan Director: Frank Oz, USA 1984, Colour (U) 94 min In The Muppets Take Manhattan the muppets have created a successful show which they try and sell to a Broadway producer. After a string of failures, however, they split up and resort to various odd jobs until Kermit finally strikes lucky and gets their show 'Manhattan Melodies' on stage. The film stars all of the favourite muppet crew who are accompanied by a large cast of celebrity cameos including Joan Rivers, Liza Minnelli and the then-mayor of New York, Ed Koch. This is a fun caper that builds on the structure of the television series and will appeal to muppet fans and others of all ages.

Will, brought up in a strict religious household, is forbidden TV and music. Lee, a school troublemaker, enthuses his friend with a pirate copy of Rambo. Lee is making a home movie, and persuades Will to act in it: they plot stunt after stunt, all the while avoiding teachers and family to finish the masterpiece in time to enter it for a national amateur film competition. With Eric Sykes in a cameo role, this is a nostalgic and heartwarming comedy, directed by Garth Jennings (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) about two boys with great ambitions. 23rd January 2009: Lancelot du Lac Director: Robert Bresson, France 1975, Colour (PG) 83 min This is Bresson's very personal vision of the Arthurian legend, stripped of all romance. Camelot is a bleak expanse of gloomy muddy forest where the knights of the Round Table clank around in their unwieldy armour. The characters, far from chivalrous, are proud, cruel and lonely. The defining joust sequence is a turmoil of pounding hooves, thrusting lances, mud and blood. And yet the film is strangely beautiful and utterly mesmerising. 13th February 2009: Under the Bombs Director: Philippe Aractingi, Lebanon 2008, Colour (15) 98 min Filmed in the immediate aftermath of the Israeli bombing of Lebanon in 2006, Under the Bombs is a road movie in a war zone. Zeina, a shi'ite, returns to Beirut to find her son who has been living with her sister. She persuades Toni, a christian taxi driver, to take her to the south to search for her family. Their relationship, initially frosty, gradually develops into a strong rapport as their quest progresses. With moments of humour, and the beautiful landscapes contrasting with the troubles of living in Lebanon, Under the Bombs was filmed using documentary techniques and won a prize at last year's Venice Film Festival.

Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

In the name of his newly created religion, the great Russian novelist has renounced his noble title, his property and even his family in favor of poverty, vegetarianism and even celibacy. After she’s born him thirteen children! When Sofya then discovers that Tolstoy’s trusted disciple, Chertkov (Paul Giamatti)—whom she despises—may have secretly convinced her husband to sign a new will, leaving the rights to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his very own family, she is consumed by righteous outrage. This is the last straw. Using every bit of cunning, every trick of seduction in her considerable arsenal, she fights fiercely for what she believes is rightfully hers.

  • The Open Image: Poetic Realism and the New Iranian Cinema
    Downloaded from The open image: poetic realism and the New Iranian Cinema http://screen.oxfordjournals.org/ SHOHINI CHAUDHURI and HOWARD FINN When Mohsen Makhmalbaf's Safar e Ghandehar/Kandahar was screened at London's Institute for Contemporary Arts in Autumn at Senate House Library, University of London on December 4, 2015 2001 it drew sell-out audiences, as it did in other European and North American cities. The film's success, partly due to its timely release, also reflects an enthusiasm internationally for Iranian films which has been gathering momentum in recent years. This essay focuses on one characteristic of 'New Iranian Cinema' which has evidently intrigued both critics and audiences, namely the foregrounding of a certain type of ambiguous, epiphanic image. We attempt to explore these images, which we have chosen - very simply - to call 'open images". One might read these images directly in terms of the political and cultural climate of the Islamic Republic which engendered them, as part of the broader ongoing critical debate on the relationship of these films to contemporary Iranian social reality Our intention, however, is primarily to draw structural and aesthetic comparisons across different national cinemas, to show, among other things, how a repressed political dimension returns within the ostensibly apolitical aesthetic form of the open image. The term "image' encompasses shot, frame and scene, and includes sound components - open images may deploy any of these elements. Open images are not necessarily extraordinary images, they often belong to the order of the everyday. While watching a film one may meet them with some resistance - yet they have the property of producing virtual after-images in the mind.

  • The Future of Two Festivals
    The Future of Two Festivals By Gerald Pratley Spring 1993 Issue of KINEMA BERLIN 1992 Flying into Berlin is now so very ordinary. No need to worry about wandering out of the narrow corridor over East Germany leading into the divided city; no fear now of being shot down by a watchful MIG; now the Frankfurt-Berlin train can stop where it likes and motorists can leave the autobahn on the way in. The fear and atmosphere of menace have gone. Checkpoint Charlie has gone; Bernard Samson has come out for the last time. No one will get riddled with bullets trying to cross the Wall because the Wall has disappeared. Was it ever there? Hard to believe as the West Berlin double-deckers pass the Brandenburg Gate and drive straight through to Alexanderplatz. A history of forty years has disappeared, to become a tick in time a hundred years hence. Surprisingly many former West Berliners are not too happy about this sudden unexpected turn of events. And why? Because before the reunification West Berlin was their very own tight little island, their own ”land,” independent, generously funded by the West German government a long way away in Bonn and which had no control over it, free to do what it liked under the protection of the three occupying powers, with everyone drawn together by the need to preserve themselves at all cost from an enemy surrounding it on all sides. But now Berlin is just another big sprawling European city in a big country, now Germany’s capital with a government still years away in Bonn, with growing financial and social problems and with two former populations used to different political ways of life finding it extremely difficult to come together under capitalism.
