Its not a high concept movie, theres actually no story there really. Its what happens in between the story thats important Bill ForsythThe story of an American businessman sent to buy the Scottish village of Ferness with the aim of turning it into an oil refinery, Local Hero is one of Scotlands most beloved, and most misunderstood, films.When Bill Forsyths incredible success with the low-budget That Sinking Feeling and Gregorys Girl found him collaborating with Britains best-known film producer, David Puttnam, he soon found his independent ethos clashing with Hollywoods desire for superstar actors and a happy ending.Jonathan Melville checks into the MacAskill Arms and looks back at Bill Forsyths career with the help of new and archive interviews, before spending time with the cast and crew, including stars Peter Riegert and Denis Lawson, who made Local Hero on location in Houston and Scotland in 1982.With access to early drafts of the Local Hero script (including hand-written notes) that reveal more about Mac and mermaids, excerpts from a previously unpublished interview in which Bill Forsyth explains why he refuses to call his film feel-good, and a look at long-lost deleted scenes with exclusive commentary from those involved, this is the definitive history of the Scottish classic.Genuine fairy tales are rare; so is film-making that is thoroughly original in an unobtrusive way.

Scotlands greatest export. The worlds first super spy. Voted the sexiest man on the planet. Sir Sean Connery was a titanic figure on screen and off for over half a century.Behind the son of a factory worker, growing up in near-poverty on the harsh streets of pre-war Edinburgh, lay a timeless array of motion pictures that spanned multiple decades and saw Connery work across the globe with directors as diverse as Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay. And amongst them his greatest role, whether he liked it or not Bond, James Bond.Author A. J. Black delves into Connerys life for more than mere biography, exploring not just the enormously varied pictures he made including crowd pleasing blockbusters such as The Untouchables or Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, serious-minded fare in The Hill or The Offence, and his strange sojourns into eclectic fantasy with Zardoz or Time Bandits, but also the sweep of a career that crossed movie eras as well as decades.From skirmishes with the angry young men of the British New Wave, via becoming the cinematic icon of the 1960s as 007, through to a challenging reinvention as a unique older actor of stature in the 1980s, this exploration of the Cinematic Connery shows just how much his work reflected the changing movie-going tastes, political realities and cultural trends of the 20th century, and beyond . . .

An enthralling play based on lost tapes between two cultural giants and friendsAndy Warhol and Truman Capote.In 1978 Andy Warhol and Truman Capote decided to write a Broadway play. Andy suggested that he record their private conversations over the period of a few months, and that these tapes would be the source material for the play. The tapes were then filed away and forgotten. Their play was never completed.Now, award-winning director Rob Roth brings their vision to life after a years-long search to unearth the eighty hours of tapes between two of the most daring artists of postwar America. WARHOLCAPOTE, based on words actually spoken by the two men, is set in the 70s and 80s, toward the end of their close connection and not too long before their untimely deaths. Their special, complex friendship is captured by Roth with bracing intimacy as they discuss life, love, and art and everything in between. Every word in the play comes directly from these two 20th century geniuses. The structure of the conversations springs from Roths imagination.

Most countries can only dream of creating a phenomenon on this scale; Britain produced two on one windy October afternoon. Told over sixty dramatic years, Love and Let Die is the story of two culture touchstones that continue to define our aspirations and fantasies; of opposing values, visions of Britain and ideas about male identity; and of how a clash between working class liberation and establishment control exploded on the global stage.

"One of the great novels to have been written in our language" MARIO VARGAS LLOSA"Beautifully written and gripping"GuardianHe thought that memories were invisible like light, and just as smoke made light show, there must be a way for memories to be seen... In October 2016, the real-life Colombian film director Sergio Cabrera is attending a retrospective of his films in Barcelona. Its a difficult time for him: his father, Fausto Cabrera, has just died; his marriage is in crisis; and his country has rejected peace agreements that might have ended more than fifty years of war. In the course of a few turbulent and intense days, Sergio will recall the events that marked the familys life, and especially his fathers, his sister Marianellas and his own. From the Spanish Civil War to the exile of his republican family in Latin America, and from the Cultural Revolution in China to the guerrilla movements of 1960s Latin America, not only will do we discover a series of adventures extraordinary by any standards, but also a devastating portrait of the forces that for half a century turned the world upside down and created the one we now inhabit.Retrospective is a revelatory and unforgettable novel.Translated from the Spanish by Anne McLean

Como se tornar um bom dançarino profissional e ganhar gorjetas no hotel? O que faz uma "bruxa moderna" da cidade grande? Quais so os pontos de encontro mais disputados de Berlim? Tem como dirigir um filme com orçamento minimo e convencer alguem a bancar a empreitada? Para todas essas perguntas, Billy Wilder tem a resposta. Se no a possui, pode ter certeza de que se jogara em busca dela.Antes de se tornar um dos diretores de cinema mais celebrados e miticos de Hollywood, autor de classicos inescapaveis como Quanto mais quente melhor, considerado a obra-prima de Marilyn Monroe, e Crepusculo dos deuses, espelho critico da propria industria cinematografica, Billy Wilder era um mero reporter para diferentes jornais de Berlim e Viena nos anos 1920. Nessas cidades fervilhantes de cultura, pode acompanhar os desvarios que marcaram a Republica de Weimar como um periodo de liberdade e descoberta, que logo viria a ser esmagada pela ascenso do nazismo. A capital alem, em especial, era uma grande farra, ponto de encontro de intelectuais e artistas que perseguiam a liberdade irrestrita. O sonho, como a historia nos ensinou, pouco durou os nazistas chegaram ao poder e Wilder, de origem judaica, precisou fugir da Europa.Em Billy Wilder: um reporter em tempos loucos, os textos reunidos por Noah Isenberg, de qualquer maneira, oferecem um testemunho unico e pessoal de um artista que se arremessou no olho do furaco para capturar os tempos loucos encapsulados entre a Primeira e a Segunda Guerra Mundial, alem de dar um vislumbre de como se desenvolveu a mente de um dos maiores cineastas da historia.

Drawing its wisdom from Hindu, Judaic and Islamic philosophies, this is the multicultural, multifaceted saga of Parikshat Sahnis journey from being a film student in Soviet Russia to surrendering Stanislavski for Indian cinema. Strange Encounters is a prismatic collection of travel portraits, impressions and life lessons that Parikshat Sahni has accumulated in his itinerant life moving within the golden autumns of Moscow to the tune of Tchaikovsky, returning to Mumbai and his roots, entering Bollywood, and finding fame. Sahni chronicles stories from a life whose pendulum swings wildly from the humorous to the utterly horrifying. He confronts his thanatophobia on film sets and his atheism on an ill-prepared trek to Amarnath; he gives us drinking lessons with screenwriter friends and a profound insight into the state of culture wars in present-day Kashmir; he recalls the thrill of young love in Russia and its attendant treacheries of the heart, as well as a study of Pakistan, a history of India as the land of many, and a look at the current political discourse through the eyes of a refugee.
